...as evening settled in and the Dains got into a good drinking pace, Dr Frankenstein reviewed the prospect of facing these hairy men.
True they had the muscles...and quite a lot of them, but he felt the team had learned some good skills so far and hoped the crowd would be behind his Lunacy, despite Bill (n Teds bits) still not quite assembled sufficiently to play.
Once discovering the stadium was offering an attractive Bloodweiser serving babe to his dugout, he foolishly started thinking maybe things might well go quite well.
As the players found their start positions on the pitch, there was a growing excitement among increasingly rowdy crowd who'd come to see the Were-on-Were action. Confidence boosted by winning the toss; Doc was, (while casting an appreciative eye), just offering the Bloodweiser representative some 'small-talk' about how he had the biggest crowd, when a huge rock flew from the upper stalls and BadlyHurt Hach! Sadly this distracted the Rep administrating some Regenerative sustenance into the stretchered Zombie, from Doc's attention but worryingly left him outnumbered before the whistle!
He started watching the Lunes push Dains around, drunkenly mocking them. "Knock them over" he shouted encouragingly from the sidelines!
Whilst Ben and the wolves pick up their game...
Whooberly comes over to the edge "Parrrrdoooon Sssssiiir"...
Doc is paniced!!.."What are you doing over here, GET away from the edge you fool!! You should be screening Woo in formation!"
But too late.. Whoob now had Big Lupine right behind him! ..and suffered the inevitable surf!
"Curse these fools!!".. muttered Doc.... but the gods may have been listening!
Cannus and Fluki gang up on Gurgh on the opposite side and drag him into crowd too.
MightyWhyte barely managed a retaliatory surf despite the bloodthirsty screams of the fans! And Lunard threw himself at Knutt's feet despite Kay's assistance!
Fenrir quickly seized the initiative and put Ben on the floor, from the ground, whilst Whyte n Eeurgh get tumbled too!
But a window of opportunity presents itself in the carnage, as Kay Knigh'n is alone in range of a TD. While the team comes to its feet ready to shield the play, Woo rushes over to hand him the ball...
But Kay is distracted: "Timmi stinks Coach... 'es not washed 'is fur all season!"...Holding his long super-sensitive nose..."'ees disgusting!"..
"JUST TAKE THE BALL!!!!" screams Doc Frankenstein not believing his eyes as the ball spills in slow motion back behind Woo, who having passed to Kay had stopped to assist Lunard.
The Dains took no time sweeping it up and flattening, stunning or KOing any resistance! With a flurry of speed and well timed determination, they had a safe TD... they lingered for a moment and Kay boldly pursued but couldn't spill from Fenrir's grip despite dispair and encouragement screamed from his fans!
The Dains go up 1-0 moments before the half time whistle and the team respond unprecedently mostly recovering from KO's and rejoin the fray... some mild fouling which seemed some sort of Ref induced scam took place leaving neither team none the wiser.
Even before the 2nd half kicks off, the Dains are keen and press forward then stunn all the Zombies on the scrimmage line!
Eeugh uses half the team able to stand and remaining good will of crowd to stay on his feet vs Cannus and Lunnard runs into Bjorn's waiting fist!
Boyed on my thier good fortune the Dains rush the ball forward with wild abandon! But Whyte burns the good will of the impatient crowd freeing up Woo for the assist... and then just as Kay is about to Surf Fluki 'ball and all' he trips! ...and Fluki runs it in after Lupine smashes Woo to the floor!
2-0 to the Dains..... Words are sparse in the Lunacy dugout as Dr Frankenstein, repeatedly palms his face. Suprisingly, nobody want's to hang around with coach and everyone is ready to face the Drunken Muscled Norsemen rather than Frankenstein's wrath!
Another deep kick kick by the jovial drunken Dains and the Lunatics are feeling the pressure, knowing they need to get some distance covered.
Kay Knigh'n gets his head down and deliverers a Murderous vengeful blow to Lupine, saved from the death by the Dain apothacary, but not likely to play again! Inspired to go the extra step, with good will in hand: show of pace from Woo..and he trips up! Ball spills loose and the Dains can't believe thier luck!
So they bash some undead about a bit and swagger over to the ball, showing off some proper sprinting themselves. But again the ball is isolated and vulnerable! An opportunity for swift redemption... the Undead rearrange for a swift recovery..but Woo fails to dodge away and again the flukey Fluki saunters to the touch line, with a little mocking sprint along the Touchline for the fans, before scoring theatrically later!
3-0 up and only minutes from the whistle... the Dains start REALLY drinking the celebrations begin! Eventually they are dragged out onto the pitch, laughing, drinking, toasting thier wisdom and Nuffles benevolence.
As they line up for what can only be the final drive...Ivar is drunkenly taunting the Lunacy fans and gets Hurt with a thrown rock.
The ambitious kicks finally go awry and a ball is retrieved into Woos ghoulish paws.. the Lunatics waste no time rushing forward and taking all the Norsemen..with Kay deep in opposition half... Tindr drunkenly swings a punch and falls to the floor laughing as the final whistle rises to the Refs lips, still 3-0 up!
For Dr Frankenstein time slows in the final moments,
Woo rushes forward and the Ref takes a deep breath...
Kay reaches for the ball an open path before him,
Woo needs just one more step.... he makes it! He doesn't trip, but Dr Frankenstein's heart stutters as he sees Kay knigh'n s hand close on the ball... He grabs it and runs it home.
The Whistle blows and Dr Phrankenstein collapses... hopefully his own curse lifted.
Maybe it's a Beard thing?! He reflects.
