“Luck is a wild beast, impossible to tame. You just have to ride it and hope it hits more highs than lows. The Dark Elves were clinging on for dear life, but they made it. This time.

With Druchii recieving the kick-off, a classic Darius Longarm mis-throw opened up the game in the first half. In the mighty ball scramble that followed, Little Miss Darkness chased the ball up and down the touchline, but it was Los CulosCaras' Tomasin who managed to pick it up. Some -2d blocks later and Little Miss Darkness, with the help of a some fortuitous bouncing and high-rolling, dived over the line for a very lucky turn six touchdown.

A Bad Kick gave the Orcs a touchback, but some awful blocking dice caused a quick turnover. Little Miss Darkness made her 2dblock, but then rolled snake eyes for the following dodge, keeping the ball out of reach.

Los CulosCaras grabbed the ball back and judicious blitzing made some headway, giving them two receivers for the turn 8 score. The Athletic were able to surround one, but a simple 2dblock on the other resulted in the classic double skulls. With no rerolls available, turnover.

The Orcs went for the touchdown. It was a nice pass, but the 4+ catch proved too much, and the half finished 1-0 to the Dark Elves.

The second half saw a long drive by the Orcs fail agonisingly - snake eyes on the final GFI. Harsh indeed, and it allowed the Dark Elves to roll a loose cage down the wing for a simple touchdown.

Tragically, this second score came without the assistance of Darius Longarm, the fumble-happy thrower having taken a direct block from Irenko "El Ligre". The resulting serious injury was impossible to heal - Darius' wasting condition "Slippy Fingers" is well documented. Despite the apothacery's best attempts, he will have to continue his playing career with the strength of a goblin. This does not bode well.

A game the Dark Elves didn't really deserve to win. But hey, they'll take it.”
