We pressed on, a new fouler at the ready. Perhaps a bribe would sooth the soul against these broken old Humans. But was the coach recovered?

Their ball, Extortion and Intimidation standard tactics. Eulian quickly in range, the hail mary was caught and Extortion cleaned up with it. They scored immediately. Our bribe gave us Intimidation once more.

Anarchy unleashed, and it snowed! Nothing doing with the hits, Secrecy not able to catch. Griff got on the ball, but Kickbacks too easy. Anarchy wild, the snow to slippery to risk cover, and he was downed. They manned up, time passing, and Corruption was slapped down, ignoring his training! Secrecy stood the blitz, we almost caged but a leap too far for Nepotism.

Secrecy finally out, a Conspiracy covered the approach to the ball, and Kickbacks recovered to Fraud, who dodged away and in. Equal at the half, our ball, 14 goblins, Intimidation ready, but still it snowed, and you can't hail mary in the snow.

They blitz! Of course, sneaky, but Griff slipped on the snow, and Secrecy did catch to secure miles from trouble, then switch back into it as they swarmed. We all dodged, even the troll, not bad, but Wustin just got around, no square safe from such speed, they swarmed again. We scattered, the ball in range, Fraud ... didn't even try. What? Coach? Kickbacks miles out of play, Trolls overwhelmed, no attempt to pick up!

They smashed us, the Apo saving Nepotism, and then it got worse. Then worse still, Corruption died! Regenerated. What was happening? Fraud, stood next to death, Bribery didn't dodge, Fraud wounded, they fouled our best, and walked in the winner. It was ours, so easy again, we didn't try, and it cost us.

This must stop. No more easy beat Goblins, no more pity for Dirty Pool. No hiding, no running, no mistakes, premier or die.
