The fourth game of Maximum Marvelous Maiden's season took place against the Biblical Dwarves, a religious group of dwarves who lost 2 players in their first 3 games. The dwarves bought a card before the game, they got the FAME advantage, and the Maidens win the toss and chose to receive first.

The first half consisted of the Maidens trying to run the ball up the north side of the pitch, only to be stopped cold by the dwarf defense as a few of the Maidens get surfed. As for casualties, Matsuta KOs Jonah, Roka was BH by Samson, and Joshua was BH by Doi. Then in the second half, the dwarves were able to hold off the Maidens with their cage, but the Maidens were at least able to slow down the cage enough to have the game be 0-0. As for casualties, Genjo got KOed by Ezekiel, Chiyo-chan BH Samson, Takara-tan KOed herself on a failed dodge, Aki was killed by Abraham, Cain was killed by Doi, then the journeyman Trey Hardeagle was BH by Chiyo-chan right before the game ended.

After the game, the team got a measly 30k gold, Sora-sama was the MVP (although I think Doi deserved it more), and both teams won some fans. The Maidens' chances at entering the playoffs were drastically decreased, but they still have a chance. They would just need to win the next 2 games while everyone above them either tied against each other or lost to teams below the Maidens. Either way, the next team for the Maidens will be against a fresh Khemri team called the Zot Crawlers, who are rather bashy with their 4 Tomb Guardians, but only have one guy with Block and they have AGI 2 at best, making it hard for them to pick up the ball. After some discussion, the Maidens decide to not buy a thrall before the game so that the Crawlers only get 80k in inducements instead of 120k for a chainsaw. Hopefully they don't regret going in with only 11 players.”
