Monk's Marauders 3 - 0 Brunch's Big Bads
Orcs bought a wizard, cheering fans, and an AG potion for the Troll with their inducements, and the Humans won the coin toss. The initial push downfield got Eomund Tonkai the AG5 Thrower past the Orc line with a lineman and a catcher covering the most likely blitzing lanes, but a timely fireball knocked all three down, knocked the catcher out, and resulted in the ball bouncing three squares back into a cluster of Orcs. Tuffgang the Goblin managed to recover, and the Big Bads turtled up, not ready to risk a counterdrive of their own against the fast, dodgy humans. The fast, dodgy humans managed to do some bashing as well, opening up a blitz on Tuffgang. He went down hard, and a bit of shoving saw the ball bounce near the prone Eomund Tonkai, who promptly stood up, made two dodges into open space, picked up the ball in a tacklezone (and made a GFI,) made another dodge into another tacklezone making another GFI, and then threw a perfect pass to a lonely Catcher on the far side of the field, who scampered in for the score.
Things went downhill fast for Pies after that, as the start of the Orc offensive saw a sure-handed Orc Thrower fail to pick up the ball two turns in a row. Two turns was about how much time the humans needed to punch a hole in the Orc line and run downfield to the ball while marking up pursuit, leading to an easy TD and a 2-0 advantage.
The Orc's second drive also started with a sure-handed pickup fail (that's six fails in a row for the folks keeping score at home) but things finally balanced slightly when an overeager Human lineman rerolled a GFI into another 1 when trying to get next to the ball, and this time the Orc Thrower scooped it up and tossed it to Tuffgang, who got into a cage of big bad orcs near the LoS. With humans pressing in from every side and time running out, a Throw Teammate attempt saw Tuffgang sail downfield... facefirst into the turf. An easy 2d push later, and the Humans had an avenue to scoop up the ball and pitch it to an AG4 Blitzer, who then ran in the TD.
If things had gone a little differently in the first half, the score could easily have been 1-1, or 0-1 in the Orc favor, and obviously the second half was just comically lopsided as far as the dice were concerned. Still, Humans improve their winstreak to 3 games, and I won't complain about that!
