Another perfect day (with the odd gust of wind) for Blood Bowl as the two teams entered the field. The arena was jam backed with 16,000 screaming fans who have come to witness pain and glory.
Coming from a close loss to the Blisterin' Shagfisters there was much doubt on the Necromantic side that they could stop these agile leaping frogs, bt they were quite relieved when the Slann's decided to kick off. The necromancers defense held up against the frogs and after Knight Howler was able to scare one of the frog lineman off the pitch, the dead were able to form a cage around Roger who had the ball. The cage held well even though one of the Slann was part of it, it seemed he froze with fear being so close to corpses and unchallenged Roger passed the ball to Knight who ran across for the try.
Now the undead were faced with their toughest challenge.......defense.
Nuffle was on their side though as the ball landed close to the halfway line and the receiving team were taken by a surprise blitz from the werewolf who smashed the little frog catcher over giving Roger an opportunity to grab the ball. After a long strong defence from the Necromantics, Roger was able to cross the line for a second try and the Necromantic's doubt's were buried in the empty graves that they came from.....
As the clock ticked closer to half time the Undead's defense held up still and Rocky caused a devastating blow to a frog lineman taking him out for the rest of the match. In turn the Slanns stomped and knocked out two of the Necromantic's team.
At halftime with some help of the Bloodweiser Babes and their ale, the Necromantic team were back to full strength while the Slann were a frog down.
The Slann who were on the receiving again, decided they needed to even the score and Frogzilla heard their cry's of 'get him' and 'pound the Rock, pound the Rock'. He answered it with a mighty blow that would have split a normal rock in two, but surprisingly Rocky was able to Regenerate the damage and crawled his way off the pitch for a wee break and some more Bloodweiser ale (not that he needed it though, I suspect it had something to do with the 'Prreety.......Girrrrl' handing them out).
With no Rock on the field the Necromantic's defense fell over and the Slann leaped their way over the try line bringing the score to 1-2 to the Necromantics.
The Rock - after a refreshing drink - came back onto the field and lived up to his name standing firm against blow after blow and with the Undead finally on the receiving side again pushed themselves deep into Slann turf with Precious holding the ball. But as Precious, with his head down, looked up at the nearby touch line he connected head first with a frog lineman's head. Feeling the 'ochy' he collapsed to the ground crying, unaware that when his head smashed into the Lineman's, it fractured part of the Lineman's skull into its brain, instantly killing the frog. The ball scattered, stopping just to the right of Lord Mortis.
Desperate, another frog lineman tried to leap over 'Meat' the Zombie to get to the ball, but Meat managed to put the frog off balance and the lineman landed face first in the dirt.
Precious recovered from his 'ochy', ran over to the ball, picked it up, passed it to Lord Mortis who ran it across the line for the touchdown.
End score 3 - 1 to the Legion of the Dead
