“Thanks, Snorri

Indeed, it was one of those games that defy every expectation - the Vanguard had us completely ambushed - they exploded out of the blocks with ferocious hits, a seamless TD to follow up on the final destruction of promising weird zombie Cathbad Cadell (Guard, Sidestep). Ice Wolf had a typical Wicker Men-related Accident in the snow on that drive, but that didn't slow the remaining elves.

Then, just as the Wicker Men are lining up, looking forward to controlling the ball while trudging through the blizzard towards their goal, the Arctic-themed opposition Blitzed the Kick off!

Allyn Clustfeinad's vestigial metabolism kicked in under the sudden pressure, and with an ill-timed adrenalin rush, he fumbled the ball. Dark Elves scored with frustrating ease, and a whistle blow pierced the howling gales again.

If it worked once for the Vanguard, it could work a second time! this time a elf was under the kick as it fell, and a TD shortly followed as the Undead ineffectually scrambled toward the taunting and faintly visible shapes in the blizzard.

With the elves hitting like Chaos and the Undead hitting like halflings, the game had decided itself.

Later in the game, the Undead were able to pick up two Touchdowns, the elves a fourth, and no lasting harm was done to the apparently near-indestructible elves.

Nice work, Snorri - you rolled with the success and were appropriately rewarded.”
