“ The Order of the Snow King 1-2 Durfang Draugr

The third game of the fourth season in the Kraken Sea Conference for The Order was against the unbeaten undead Durfang Draugr. They had opened their season by smashing up perennial favourites the Morkfjord Mermaids and looked to be well on their way to retaining "The Axe", awarded to the team with the most casualties.

The whole roster was packed with talent and boasted almost as many +stats (4) as The Order had -stats (5). However the star of the show was undoubtedly Stefnir Krumrson - a +MA, +ST ghoul with four touchdowns in his last two games.

The Order's hopes were pinned on the fact that Jarl Shraaaag had recently updated his list of Curses Predictions and had picked Durfang Draugr to win the Kraken Sea Conference, which marked them for almost certain failure.

The undead won the toss and opted to receive. After securing the ball they immediately began cas'ing the chaos dwarves and ko'ing the niggled hobgobs. Down three men it was an impossible task for The Order to stop the score. Setting up to attempt a two-turn score the ball was dropped and the half ended tamely.

After only one armour break in the first half the team was given a stern talking to at the break. It obviously made a difference because within four turns they'd already doubled the first half tally. Sadly the Undead had had even more and the game was all but over. The dwarves fluked a score on turn 6, but leaving a coach as good as Jarl Matthueycamo three turns was too much and when the kick bounced out of bounds the Curse had finally lifted.

Out-coached and out-hit and with the fearsome Mermaids waiting around the corner it looks like the season is over.
