WarSeers were receiving the kick-off and made a quick snap, mostly charging into the Skaven except for champion thrower Sylass who dashed towards the ball. They employed violent tactics on the rats but failed to make any injuries, with new blocker Brimstone knocking himself out with the shaft of his own banhammer. Sylass reached the ball only for it to slip from his talons. The rats retaliated by sprinting players right up the pitch, surrounding Sylass. He and a few nearby WarSeers slammed into the sneaks but they agiley dodged the blows and scored the next turn.
Brimstone regained conciousness and set himself up on the left flank, with Yorkie on the right, ready to smash two skaven gutter runners into the dirt. The Warseers again got a quick snap and acted in the same manner as before, a sound strategy. However, their attacks again failed to make an impact and Skaven rushed up the pitch to overwhelm Sylass and score.
Next the WarSeers got a THIRD quick snap and still not learning from the past rushed Sylass towards the ball and everyone else in to attack. This time however, Sylass succeeded in throwing the ball to the middle of the pitch, where it was utterly surrounded within seconds by both Dark Elves and rats. The clock was ticking and the WarSeers couldn't score before the half ended, but they were not going to allow the score to reach 3-0. They laid into the rats with more effect, knocking out their kicker. It looked like the ball would be safe, lord_blackfang simply had to make a decent roll with THREE block dice. Easy.
DAMN YOU BLACKFANG! DAMN YOU! 3 SKULLS?!!?!. Needless to say, despite a truly legendary run by Yorkie, the rats scored a third time in the closing seconds of the half. Blackfang shall be cursed for the rest of his days. Which may be limited, considering the black looks the rest of the team are giving him.
2nd Half
The WarSeers edited their usual defence slightly to allow blackfang to stand next to Brimstone. At the first sign of cowardice Brimmy was to pulverise the bastard's head into the oblivion of a permament ban. The kick-off resulted in yet ANOTHER quick snap, this time for the rats, and the ball ended up right next to a gutter runner. The rest of the rats moved in and made just one injury. Yep, you guessed it, that weakling blackfang was stunned. Brimstone had no time to whack his brains out as he knocked over a storm vermin while the rest of the team moved to block potential catchers and attempt to intercept. They were then surprised as the fast rats imply moved to the other side of the pitch and formed a cage, ready to run for touchdown.
The WarSeers ran to surround as many rats as possible, two heading off the cage while Yorkie went to shred a gutter runner who yet again was only knocked down. The WarSeers had done all they could and waited to see what happened. The Skaven scum somehow managed to simply pass and score straight past the massed Dark Elves and that was that. 4-0 and well into the second half.
The next kick-off was a blitz to Foul Peak Frenzy and so of course a few rats managed to sprint to the destination of the ball even before it landed. The WarSeers acted well though, bringing well over half their opponents to the ground before Yorkie made one of his signature death-defying runs past the enemy to attack the ball-carrier. He was successful and planted the ball neatly between two team-mates, but they were immediately swarmed by rats who gained possession and took the ball off to the endzone.
However, they didn't count on tzeentchgiant. This mighty player, only a lineman but with true scottish strength, smashed into the ball-carrying gutter runner and took it from him, delaying the TD for at least one more turn. At the same time Yorkie stunned a skaven and the rest of the team knocked over many.
Foul Peak moved a couple of rats to cover TG but were largely ineffective as they stood back up, only to be demolished again including a Stunning 24-hour ban from Brimmy's hammer. TG fought on bravely, aided now by the heroes Yorkie and Sylass, but still foiled by the sidestepping rats.
Foul Peak again stood up and failed to do anything effective, but this time Yorkie, Sylass and Brim were truly deadly, knocking out and badly hurting their opponents. TG passed to Brimmy and failed, but the ball remained safe in starlight's capable hands. A cage was formed around it and the WarSeers began to make some serious endgame injuries and skilled passes, knowing that the rats would not score again.
End Score: 5-0 to Foul Peak Frenzy. Low winnings for the WarSeers but no drop in fan factor (except for the now-hated Blackfang) and yet ANOTHER skill for Star Player Yorkie, who gained the ever-useful Leap skill.”
