Monk's Marauders 3 - 1 My Mummie's Mummiess
The Khemri were plagued by poor luck all game; they went 1/9 on pickups, suffered several turnovers or potential turnovers due to unfortunate blocks, and coughed up the third TD as the result of a timely Blitz event. Coupled with generally favorable Marauder luck (at the very least, a noticeable lack of bad luck,) and they had a tough go of things until well into the second half. Two Marauder TDs resulted when the dodgy humans capitalized on the Khemri inability to pick up and protect the ball, both scored by Eko Cleanvise, the new Blitzer.
Hopefully Eko gets a good skill to prepare for next week because one place the Khemri had success was in the CAS box. Balkoth the Ogre and *gasp* Eomund Tonkai will both miss next week's critical matchup with Kanil due to injury; Balkoth MNG after absorbing a great many Ramtuts to the face, and Tonkai broke his collarbone when lightning struck him on turn 15, though the Apothecary preserved his ST score and downgraded him to merely MNG. Oh, and a level 2 Lineman died, but quite frankly level 2 linemen are bloat on this team, so only modest numbers of tears were shed.
On the plus side, all those injuries will bring the TV difference back down to a respectable place, so Skitterscamps won't be getting a million GP in Inducements. Should make for a good, smashmouth game for the final. Still need help from A Spoony Bard for the #1 seed though!
