“In possibly the most brutal game in OWCC's growing history, the Pirates tore apart league newcomers Gaen Vale Starlights in a 2-1 victory. A competitive 1st half saw a quick high elf touchdown as a blitzer evaded Urdithane's grasp.

The pact maul awaited the wizard's fireball, but it never came. Then late in the half, the chance seemingly gone, the lightening struck but missed! It was among many things going wrong for the high elves but they started with 11 for the 2nd half.

Soon, however, it was all but over as the casualties rolled in and nearly all doing permanent damage. As the game became increasingly one sided, greed nearly delivered a surprise turnaround as Urdithane dropped a hand off - but a failed 6+ dodge sent another elf to the casualty box when perhaps a scatter attempt was wiser.

"Do they all have to be stat decreases?" lamented WeeManBiggins... so Nuffle delivered a death in response to a classic case of needing to be careful what you wish for. 5 high elves scarred and 1 dead albeit the apothecary unused. WeeManBiggins felt his team was unprepared but on days like this any team can meet their demise. Hopefully the Starlights will be able to bounce back and have better days ahead.”
