“Dirty rats! They smashed us last season, 5-1, time for bloody vengeance! Bribes were bought in preparation.

They received, and with an uncertain timeframe, Intimidation was tried, a Perfect Defence slowing their approach somewhat, Dirty Pool used on that cheating Skitter. Conspiracy took a spill, and they were in. Our turn, Anarchy and Extortion unleashed, numbers dwindling but Kickbacks caged against their Wizardly threats. They dodged in, and scattered it, but too late, Kickbacks up and safely in for the end of the half.

Our bribes are their babes, the hard-earned knockouts returned, and the kick was deep, Dirty Pool out of play, with a Lightning Bolt searing Kickbacks and Thieving couldn't dodge to cover as their lightning gutters ran it in, and now we were well short. Anarchy feels like he's earned a bigger B&C, and he'll get it.

The next retrieval was a trial, so much speed against us, Thieving barely hanging onto it thanks to some fancy trickery, Racketeering and Skitter carried off on the same stretcher still tearing at each other. We tried to screen after the turnover, but too few and Corruption seeing to the tackler all too late. The rest of the game was a mess, an attempt to eat more goblins never getting play. A better performance, but the casualties flowed too late.

Prev. Game 3, Emily Regional, SWL Season 63. 1/0/2. No Kills. Next.”
