“[SL]UMBBL Cup VIII: round 3:


The ironbreakers of Los Antidisturbios were the Dolphin's opponents in round 3. Backed up by a wizard, a bribe and a bloodweiser babe, these AV10 dwarfs would prove a hard nut to crack. The elves received and managed to score in 3 turns. Nuffle was definitely not with the dwarfs, as he let them fail the surehands pickup twice in a row. This allowed the sea elves to get dangerously close the ball, provoking the wizard to intervene. Dolthaic got zapped, but remained on the pitch for a few more turns adding to the havoc. The ironbreaker's ballcarrier finally managed to pick up the ball, but then failed a GFI and unceremoniously dropped it again, smashing headfirst into the turf. Thularin, who didn't miss the game because of the healing potion, put his AG6 to good use, but ultimately failed the last dodge after having worked some elven magic. The dorfs couldn't capitalize on the failed dodge though, so Thularin got another chance next turn. One pass later Guldir ran in the second touchdown of the evening. With only 2 turns remaining, the sea elves had a comfortable lead at half-time. The second half was a tight struggle with lots of elves and dwarfs involved in a brawl. The ball switched sides several times and eventually the dwarfs even scored, but much too late to threaten the Dolphin's win: 2-1 and up to the semi-final!”
