"Welcome sports fans!"
"And fans of extreme violence!"
"Tonight, from Splattermore Castle, the Ravens, a new Vampire team, are taking on the Copperwheat Stealers in an un-friendly moonlit spectacular."
"A veteran halfling team, vs a rookie vamp team, should be a good match-up?"
David came round for a game, and I got to try out my new Vampire team on his sparkling new Vampire pitch.
I elected to receive, and Tana, my Vampire runner, got the ball from a touchback. Sprinting down field and looking to score as soon as posible.
However, David's halflings had other plans, and triple teamed her to floor her. Due to the hard floor, she went straight into the injured box, and didn't regenerate! Sorry Tana.
The Stealers scooped up the ball, but the Vampire thrower, Lestat, blitzed in, up-ended a halfling, and seized the ball.
Not a single tree man took root all game, they were blitzing everywhere!
The Stealers popped the ball loose with a jammy block on the Raven's passer, and tried to pass down the line, but it was picked off in midair by an ambitious thrall! My first ever interception.
Thralls and vampires teamed up to clear the way, leaving the jammy Thrall to walk it in. 1-0. Suppose I had better feed and pay that one then! Might even bother to ask his name...
On the restart, the Halflings swarmed onto the ball, only to find themselves surrounded by vamps and thralls, who decided they were not going to let the ball downfield. Yes, a thrall took a pounding from a treeman, but better him than a vampire! A couple of Halflings were fumbled by the treemen until...
The Stealers sent a blocking cage downfield, and tried to go aeriel with a halfling, but due to a bad pass, the flying halfling managed to land on one of his own teammates and both were floored, along with the ball. This left a thrall to scoop the ball up and take a knee to end the half,.
During halftime, the crowds got a little too over exuberant, and the magnificent decorative chandelier crashed down, setting light to the Cathy rug. (this means anyone starting their activation on the rug has to roll agility or face an armour roll as they get singed). The thralls get warmed up on the frontline.
The ball bounced out to near the sideline, and no Halfling was in range to scoop it up. My Blitzer Marius picked up the ball. Treemen sensibly avoiding the flames, and thralls, despite failing their agility, all managed to escape the conflagration.
However, the Halflings took five casualties from falling debris! It was roast hobbit everywhere!
Leaving a big hole in the Stealers line. A line I wasn't going to exploit, as it was a bit warm. But I did launch a long pass from one thrower to the other.
In a desperate defensive move, a thrown Halflings blitzes my Vampire thrower, who had just caught the ball from across the pitch. Knocking him down, and spilling the ball (three dice, I pick, all were down)! Straight into the hands of a Thrall who was waiting in the end zone to support the thrower in case a snack was needed.
2-0 Vamps.
Kick off again, and despite their best efforts, the Halflings fail to pick up the ball, and the Vampire Blitzer Marius runs it in for a third. Admittedly he had stopped for two snacks on the way there...
Louis the thrower has downed and been downed by a tree man, and despite seven fouls from the thralls, no one could get through his bark!
At the game's end, three Thralls were injured, two self-inflicted, plus Tana the Runner, while a fourth thrall was knocked out.
While nine of the Halflings were off injured, three were knocked out, mostly from fire and smoke damage. A brilliantly insane game, which we both loved. Will get the Vamps based up this week and will definitely play more.
