“To start, the dark elves were confused by their handicap, team anthem. After discovering the 15 TR difference, the game was on. The norse won the toss and elected to kick off, hoping to injure enough players that by the second half they could drive down uncontested... The move backfired as the game was held up for the first 5 turns by a riot. after a blitz pushes fish back to create a lane, hotuctuv runs thru the gap. Cantelope the minotaur doesn't notices a tiny dark elf and accidentally attempts to dodge past him, failing and being pulled down to end the 1st but 6th turn for the norse. The dark elves used their innitial fake to the left to draw off the norse, then pushed their full force up the right side, getting the ball into a thick pile of elves, but "Opinion Noted" the lineman took the ball away, and Fish made an amazing double dodge to pick up the ball and hide it behind his two blockers, "bob" and "I'll fill in". In the final turn of the first half, both teams do some useless bashing but noone gets hurt.
To begin the second half, the norse are receiving. Hotuctuv gets hit by the norse fan's rock and is stunned. First turn of second half brings the first casualty, a badly hurt dark elf; also a ko'd dark elf. Uvikin blodges away from the minotaur, and bob picks up the ball. 3 dark elves gang up to stun rent on the right side of the field. The norse use the opportunity to run a cage of 5 men to within 6 squares of the end zone, with the ball in the middle and the minotaur on the weak side... Fish wastes the last norse reroll on 2 single skulls, and falls down go boom. The cage holds up to a barrage of dark elf torment, and it looks like an easy touchdown, but then the minotaur double-skulls on the only needed block for a td. Things look bad for niggled, as the only elf with mightyblow rolls double pow on the norse teams only blodger to knock the ball loose. It looks like this turn couldn't be worse for the norse, as uvikin picks up the ball and manages to cage it tightly. "I'll fill in" busts thru the cage and blitzes the ball carrier, but rolls a pushback then a skull and falls on his ass. hoctuv pushes rent against the sideline and away from the ball, then the elves run cross field to the right. Filler misses a crucial assist because he's totally spacing out, and bob goes in for a -2 dice block on the ball. No dice, bob falls, ball runs past any hope of rejection in late turn 5. Hotuctuv pushes Rent out of bounds, rent was vulnerable after bob's missed blitz... This whole game could come down to that space out by filler. Easy touchdown off another missed block from the norse. Now its turn 7 and time for a 2 turn td by norse, ya right. In turn 7 the desperate norse run a catcher and a lineman down the field, and hardly bother to cage the ball at all, putting it right on the line of scrimmage on the right side of the field. The dark elves manage to pull the ball away using TACKLE and 2 dodges. The norse knock the ball away, but the TACKLE skill prevents a dodge that would have resulted in the ball being picked up and thrown for a desperate last minute touchdown attempt. And thats the game, 1-0, we blame filler for being a moron. In the inconsiquential dark elf last turn, they roll a skull on a silly block and seriously injure themselves then apoth it... funny stuff.”
