Match result

What a fine day for some Blood Bowl! The crowd was almost evenly split between Nugget and FFS!! fans, with only a tiny edge for the humans. In terms of team quality however the humans were vastly superior, in spite of the casualties suffered in their previous game; so in order to even the odds the Nuggets hired Zara the Slayer (who had a hectic evening since the Queens, smarting from their recent pyrrhic victory, had also hired her for their match!) as well as a beer babe and the usual chef.

FFS!! chose to recieve. Unfortunately - for them - their ogre Lenny forgot that he was supposed to blitz, and although the ball pick-up went well one of the Kennys managed to knock himself out cold trying to dodge away from Grumpy Rotroot. The Nuggets reacted quickly and quickly knocked out a second human, followed by Willow Longleaf hitting Kenny Hirugarren so hard on the head that his teeth (and fragments of the skull) literally dropped out from his bottom! Being so early in the match, the FFS!! apothecary declined to even try to save his life. We killed Kenny - you bastards...!

In spite of this battering blodging blitzer Adonis Zeiger nevertheless managed to break through the line together with some support, and threatened to score quickly. That was not to be however. Willow tossed Brodo Theller deep into the rear field, Roddy Duvel dodged past FFS!! tackler Nikodemus Würfel twice to give an assist against Zeiger, and Brodo then miraculously managed to blitz Zeiger down! The ball bounced into the audience, who tossed it almost clean across the field where Gumbo Bitburg picked it up and passed it to Purdy Sweet-tooth who ran upfield as fast as his stubby little legs could carry him. Not far enough, unfortunately, as Hans Magne quite literally ran him into the ground allowing one of the human catchers to recover the ball. At this point this referee lost track of the match out of sheer excitement, but eventually the ball ended up in the hands of Ken "Killer" Stoutgut who ran in a touchdown.

There was time for a short second drive in the first half however, so the Nuggets deployed for a second kick-off. The FFS!! didn't do much with the ball, but ogre Lenny blocked down Grumpy Rotroot so hard that one of his knees broke! To make matters worse the Nuggets' on-team carpenter attempted to treat the injury by burning the wound clean, and soon Grumpy was fully ablaze. Fortunately the rest of the coaching staff were able to put him out again, but it seems that he won't be playing in the next game - and his knee is likely to trouble him in the future as well. [In game terms: Armour breaks; injury rolls a CAS; Casualty roll is 52 - Niggling Injury. Apothecary reroll: 65 - Death. Ouch...]

At the beginning of the second half, the Nuggets set up to recieve the ball - but while the ball was still in the air, FFS!! blitzed! Hans Magne immediately put the hurt on, or possibly through, Brodo Thellersending him off the pitch for the rest of the game. Blondie Leffer picked the ball up but seriously misjudged the pass to Purdy Sweet-tooth, and the ball fell flat on the ground allowing FFS!! to try to snatch the ball - which they did. After a bit of shoving to and fro star catcher Synb Noss got the ball and ran, and ran, and... stumbled on his own shoelaces just as he entered the End Zone! Nugget tackler Frothy Angel was the only one close enough to reach the ball while the rest of the team did their best to screen him. Of course they couldn't screen him from Syn Noss, who tried to blitz poor Frothy - but got knocked down himself instead! Frothy then handed the ball over to Anto Gaffer, who ran as far as he could and then threw the ball as far upfield as he could - which was *almost* far enough to put it out of the FFS!!'s reach. But only almost, as Melkior Graup was just within range... and then he too stumbled!

"Blondie" Leffer picked the ball up, but when he tried to hand it off to Odo Dishup Odo missed the catch. Unfortunately this, combined with Anto's "empty" pass, gave the FFS!! plenty of time to bash the other halflings - which they did, with Hans Magne completed his casualty hat-trick by ripping the head clean off Nugget newbie Crabby Rooter. Willow Longleaf was so shocked by this, as well as by Grumpy's malaise, that he spent almost the entire half gently pushing over Kenny Dördüncü without even giving him a bruise... [In game terms: Willow knocked down Kenny D. at least 4 times during the half, but the highest armour roll he managed was a "5" - *with* Mighty Blow...] Odo eventually managed to pick the ball up and run in a second touchdown in the second-to-last second!

But only second-to-last, for the FFS! still had a few seconds left to play. The few remaining Nuggets (only 8 players left who were fit to play) deployed for a final defence, with Zara, Willow and Roddy Duvel on the line and the rest of the halflings all the way back by the end zone. The kick went so wide that the FFS!! were awarded a touchback to thrower Franz Ygg, and then they proceeded to beat down the Nugget line of scrimmage. In order to avenge Kenny H. almost all of them gathered around Roddy in order to foul him [In game terms: 7 assist to foul a player with AV6?!?], but just before that dirty deed could be performed Franz Ygg threw a quick pass to Adonis Zeiger... who failed the catch, and then the whistle blew.

In spite of his team winning their very first victory, the Nugget coach ruefully looked towards Grumpy's and Crabby's prone bodies and muttered: "Well, that could've gone better..."
