“My last game for the day. That's for sure.
He out-muscled me to start with, he had more skills but I felt like gaming and I literally said; "fortune favours the brave."

Well; it doesn't.

The game started with him rolling a blitz with me receiving. Not good to put it mildly. Very soon he killed a skill-less beast and not to much later he KO'd my Chaos warrior with block and guard.

I was doomed. I could score but he had just enough time to equalise albeit with a little luck. The second half I started with 9 players and my skilled warrior still ko.

Well; I tried. Hard. But when it mattered I rolled just bad enough for him. Or; when it mattered he had no bad luck. This made that my outnumbered, out-muscled and under-skilled team had no chance. With the dice not rolling in your favour when it matters...
(example: double-skulls for the minotaur; going down and serioulsy injuring himself! Apothecary saved him even if he did not deserve it)

Even so; he could only score in his 8th turn. Nearly stopped his drive. Too bad nearly doesn't count. ;-)”
