#1 Thorkell – Broken Ribs (MNG) #11 Prince Harald – Broken Ribs (MNG)
“Norse vs Riakaa's chaos again, this time with 320k of inducements for us to pick up star players. We pick up Zara the Slayer and a bloodweiser babe.
We kick off and get a blitz! We get a player beside where the ball lands, but they blitz back to push him back and then pass the ball to the far side of the pitch. We counter with a dodge blitz by a couple of linemen to knock the ball free- into an ulfwerner's slightly surprised hands. Their +STR claw mino blitzes our snow troll - KILLING him... this happened last time we faced him too!! Luckily again the apo can save him (MNG). We focus on the ball and on T3 manage to bounce it out of the scrum and briefly steal with our +AGI lineman.
Both teams surround the ball and we are taking injuries now, with a lineman BH and our +AGI MNG'd by the time they recover the ball on T6. They KO two more players, but won't have enough time to score before half time. T8 and our MB blitzer manages to skull a 1d block and BH himself... leaving us with just 7 players to receive the kick off!
Despite insane outnumbering we manage a 2 turn TD with some impressive elfball and quite a few 3+ rolls, taking the lead.
We kick off and start the desperate defense with 7 players vs their 11. Zara's blodge is proving very strong, and we manage to cause 3 cas early on while sustaining a KO making it 6 vs 8. They have burnt up their rerolls and it shows when their mino rolls a triple both-down on the first block of T6, letting us seize the ball with Zara and run downfield slightly. They try but can't find the POW they need and we score an unlikely win!!
