“Things start out with a big pitch invasion plus a crazy kick for a touchback that lets them run straight into our half and make the score on T2, though using both their rerolls to do it.

They kick off and swarm into our half, dark-elf stylee, and we just can't hold them back. They steal the ball and 4dice can't find a both-down or a pow or stumble and then they are able to dodge away and GFI for 2-0.

Then they get a kick that is going to land by the corner of our half AND a blitz. Sickening. This lets them catch with their witch elf, and a 2d blitz can't knock her over. Their attempt at making it 3-0 by T5 is foiled by a client bug that won't let their witch elf declare a pass action (let's call it an illegal procedure call by the norse coach! :), and we finally knock her over. It matters not however, as we repeatedly mess up simple rolls, while they mostly can do nothing wrong, finally KILLING a lineman and then making it 3-0 with ease. What a disastrous start!

A second riot holds the clock back so we have 2 turns instead of 1, letting us rush almost every player we have into their half into extreme range of their endzone. We are then blessed with perfect rolls for a single turn, managing to make space for one lineman in range, KILL their assassin as an aside, and then make 3 GFIs and a handoff (no RRs) to make it 3-1!

That's a KO + death on each side, so we have 10 vs their 9, though our troll is missing.

They kick off, putting the ball perfectly in our endzone and then rushing players through after it, but we do well, marching the ball upwards until a nice handoff sees a norse lineman through deep into their half. Their blitzer makes 2x -1 dodges to get through and 1d blitz him over before catching the ball, and we spend 4 turns trying to reclaim it, unsuccesfully. We lose another lineman to a double skull block attempt and the match ends.

Well won dpwright :)”
