“Kondor met Coach Steakhachez at midfield and thanked him for the match. The noble dwarfs played well and if not for two sets of snake eyes in the final turn of the first half, game would have been a tie.

But seriously, who could have resisted that temptation? You are a dwarf team playing elves. Sure, it is the last turn of the half.... sure you had to reroll one set of skulls..... but you have a Mighty Blow, Pile On slayer with a two die block on a skilless elf. Do you have your runner step into the end-zone, or try to take out one more elf before half?

Yeah...snake eyes. That not only kept the score at 0-0 but it let a pair of dwarfs get surfed with one taking a permanent injury. (The crowd had inflicted the other permanent injury earlier in the half.)

The second half was classic elf. Without a full squad on the field, the dwarf defense was stretched. The catcher would stall out the score until the bottom of the 7th turn. 1-0 Dwarfs.

Just to rub salt in the wound, the kickoff rolled up a blitz allowing Helewise to score to end the game.
---------------------------
With the massive guard wall in the dwarf favor, this did not go how I expected. I would have been happy to escape with a 1-1 draw. The mostly lineman dwarf squad is one I like to use, but I like to go with two blitzers instead of a slayer and runner. I am also shocked that I only suffered two perm injuries. Since both were to line elves, I will replace one and move on with business as usual.

-------------------------------

I look forward to the rematch.”
