“Deliriand went the traditional elfball method, with a lightning quick 2-turn score that I could do nothing to stop. We, however, spend the rest of the half methodically plowing our way up the pitch, scoring in T8 and constantly threatening grievous harm.

Receiving in the second half, two consecutive turns ended by snakes by our AG6 lineman (who we're not going to even name here, he knows who we're talking about), we looked to be in trouble. But wardancers are amazing weapons. Packing two of them, they each took a turn getting back our lost ball, until finally we kept it.

With the game on the line, our best hope was a journeyman lineman, parked just in scoring range, and able to receive a Short Pass (god woodies are fast) and run to the goal line and stall out the half.

The Deliriand OTT was foiled by that same journeyman, allowing himself to be toppled and injured, rather than allow himself to be used as a means to defeat us!

Recruited for a one-game mission, his TD contribution, and brave sacrifice in getting BH instead of allowing himself to be pushed for an OTT setup, earned him a place on the squad after the game. Welcome to the team, Lt. Coldtree, you've certainly earned your commission.

GG jdvmat. One of the more exciting elfbowls I've played in recent memory.

(note: the only apothecary use was on a first-half SNAFU where I trip'n'RIPed my own ball carrier. The operation to reattach his torso was successful)”
