Calthor Cup Semi Final

A game that started and ended with death.

The Night Terrors started receiving and quickly removed three of the Dark Elves from the pitch. The first block of the game by Hugh Janus saw Bahaar leave the field dead. Or so everyone thought, he was seen wandering into Pockaras camp after the game covered with festering boils and some rotting flesh. A well placed boot by Warwick also saw Bankimchandra leave the field on a stretcher.

Things were looking good for the Night Terrors. But over confidence or just bad positioning allowed the Elves steal in and get the ball, be it for a short time only. The Night Terrors recovered quickly with Hugh taking out another Elf, but if it wasn't for a bad slip by Padma - The Young Voice the elves might well have stopped Klattenberg running in the first touchdown of the game.

There was just time at the end of the half for the crowd to throw some rocks onto the pitch, one of which knocked the Night Terrors ball carrier Frobisher out. He never recovered his senses until well after the game had finished.

The second half saw the Elves fumble a pick up allowing the Terrors to put some pressure on the ball. A few more fumbled hand offs and a fireball eventually saw the Elves get a couple of players within scoring distance. And a brutal charge by Nightingale saw Padma - The Young Voice taken to the apothecary who almost made things worse. The Terrors at this point were pretty much celebrating victory as their wizard sent a bolt of lightning hurtling towards Abheek, but he somehow managed to avoid the bolt and swiftly ran the ball in for an equaliser.

The Terrors made a vain attempt to finish the game off before overtime but there just wasn't enough time left on the clock.

Overtime
Overtime saw the Terrors receiving again, and it also saw another rock come hurtling onto the pitch from out of the crowd. This rock hit Dark Elf Raakaa square in the face leaving a crumpled mess on the floor. The Cult of Moons apothecary ran on to the pitch for a second time to try and resuscitate him but it was no good.

Things were looking grim for the Elves. But a failed pick up by the Night Terrors gave a ray of hope to the Cult of Moon which was shortly shattered. Capala tried to dodge in and steal the ball away but he fell badly his neck snapped and he was dead instantly.

The Night Terrors now had a major numbers advantage and the game was quickly wrapped up as Klattenberg picked up the loose ball and ran it in for his and the Night Terrors second touchdown of the game.

Councilman Frederick Rotbottom had this to say
"I feel bad for the Cults Coach, I could see him pulling his hair out in overtime. It's going to cost him a packet to replace all those lost players. We did try to offer them Bahaar back, but the Cults ignorance regarding the Pox made them turn their backs on him. We have made him as welcome as possible in our camp. Maybe one day he will get a chance to return to his people."”
