“GLT VII: Main Event - Semi-Final

Game Plan going in: Bash in our half for an 8-turn score. Bash in their half to get an early TD and a shot to score in their drive. Use the wizard to swing the game if we get the chance.

What actually happened: First half we got elf-stalled for a full 8 turns. We thinned them out a little, but not much. Our TTM attempt crashed and burned. Second half we failed a pick-up and nearly got the ball stolen (or at least good and thoroughly marked. We squirm our way free and secure it. Elves hound us across the field, but we thin them down to the point where they can't stop us. We go to OT up 11v8 and win the toss. Despite heavy SS/Blodge marking by the DE and a few kamikaze attacks at the ball (one of which even knocks it loose briefly), we eventually manage to mostly de-elf the pitch and score it OT-T7.

Key to the game: fouling like a madman. We brought 2 bribes and intended to use them up.

Player of the game: Brakgul Deathbringer, who has been a key player in all but one GLT game so far.
