The Ogrish Royal Guard manages a 2-2 tie against Manner Pylon.
Pylon wins the coin flip, elects to recieve. The kick lands in the mid-field and the thrower moves to scoop it up. Sadly, no one told him that it was 'grease the ball' day, and he manages a 1/36 double critical fail.
The ogres move to take advantage of this, but because of a misclick on my part, the first ogre to arrive on the scene elects to move on the ball, instead of next to it. He doesn't get the 6 he'd need to pick it up, so it goes bouncing away.
The thrower dodges, picks up the ball from under the ogre's nose, dodges away, then hands off to a nearby gutter runner, who runs deep into the Ogre backfield. A rat lineman is KO'd on a both down with an ogre.
The Ogres, having only snotlings back there, attempt to fling a little more muscle to help. A snotling is picked up, but the ogre fumbles him, and he drops to the ground by the ogre's feet, dead. Two snotlings rush the ballcarrier, and a 1d block results in a both down. The brave snotling to do this is KO'd.
A different gutter runner runs in, picks up the ball, and scores. 1-0.
The Scaven kick is long, and the ball is handed to an Ogre. Progress is slow, but rats are being KO'd left and right. Finally, an opening appears, and the ball-carrier ogre with a couple snotlings make a break for the endzone. They get swarmed by rats, who make sure that there's no easy blitz for the ballcarrier that would let him get away without a dodge.
On the second-to-last turn of the half, one ogre hits a rat, pushing the ballcarrier to one side. The ballcarrier hits a gutter runner, killing him. Next turn, a rat goes after the ballcarrier, but skulls out. The ballcarrier blitzes the remaining rat and runs in the score. 1-1.
Halftime, noone wakes up on either team.
Second half, a rat is SI'd off the line. The ball is picked up by a snotling, run forward, handed off to another snotling, who is then picked up, and thrown downfield. He hits a gutter runner, stunning the snotling, but only knocking down the runner. The ball is picked up by the catcher, handed off to another runner, and run downfield. A snotling and an Ogre move onto the ballcarrier. A linerat is KO'd. The snotling is knocked down and the gutter dodges away and runs far along the line.
Another linerat is SI'd, but the ballcarrier is out of reach. Ballcarrier goes into the far corner. A snotling with the help of 3 friends stuns a runner on a foul. An ogre and two snotlings cage in the ballcarrier. The gutter runner runs it in for 2-1.
1 snotling and 2 linerats wake up - It's 9 Ogre players to 7 rats at the 13th. Kickoff is a blitz for the rats, who move both gutters on to the ball. The ball bounces away from the rats, and on my turn, one of the gutters is KO'd on a blitz and the other goes in the KO box to a 2d snotling block.
A snotling picks up the ball, and, since time's running short, I have a snotling do a 1d block on a stormvermin to clear up the rat backfield. The block works, and things are looking good... right till a line rat dodges away from his ogre, makes two GFIs (needs to reroll the first) then makes a 3d block on the snotling ballcarrier... However, dodge saves the snotling, and we're still good to go!
A 3d block stuns the only rat that's still in position to do me harm, the ballcarrier hands off to another snotling, who runs within easy walking distance of the endzone. On turn 16, TD! 2-2.
The final play sees an easy pass from the catcher to a gutter runner for a SPP.
Great game Jartol!
Overall, I'd say I got very lucky with my snotlings - the only one to get hurt was the one I killed trying to throw. The rest only got KO'd, or even more often just knocked down or pushed. Given how horrible snotling armor is (and the fact that tichy adds to their fagility) I really lucked out there.
I also had the luck that although I got a fair number of boneheads, I never lost a blitz to one.
