Winnings: 20,000 Inducements: 0 ***** Twenty-six thousand fans were in an uproar at the Steele-mill this week as they cheered the battle between the Khemri Oath Breakers and the hometeam Steeltown Stompers. It probably didn’t hurt that the Khemri squad visited a local tavern the night before however and hired several dancers and their friends to help the otherwise non-existant cheerleading squad by performing at the match. In an effort to stem their spiralling fan factor after the game the GM announced during his post-game news conference, “These lovely ladies did such a nice job today that they have all been offered full contracts to follow the team and form a real cheering squad. I am told that they have foresworn all their former oaths and from now on they will wear the grey and black of the OB. Please help me welceome the ‘Undertakers Revolution!’” The fans did play a huge roll in today’s game but, not even when one fan got into the game a little more than most could they change the outcome of the game. Three quarters of the way through the first half, #87 Shamus the law Murphy broke away and attempted to score a TD. The young goblin [name redacted] ran out onto the pitch invading the field and attempted to stop the Stomper drive all by himself. Even that wasn’t enough to stop Gavin’s drive however and the Stompers took a 1-0 lead into half-time. Coach Parson stated after the game, “All the cheering fans in the stadium can’t win the game for anyone on their own. As they say, ‘that’s why we play the game.’” After a quick snap to start the second half #37 Axel “Short Fuse” Flynn put the game out of reach when he scored after only two more periods on a sweet bit of footwork and a couple of well timed blocks. The OB were not to be shut out however as Skeleton Blocker Lumbar put his back into a drive and went for it all late in the second half as well. In addition to the cheering fans, today’s game was charactorized by hard hitting both early and late. The Oath Breaker’s #8 Tollund Man was knocked out for much of the first half and #3 Imsety gave The Stomper’s blitzer Gavin Green a serious injury in retaliation. Later in the second half #10 Tim “Iceman” Zorn hurt #5 Boris Karloff badly enough to keep him out of the remainder of the game. But the OB saved their biggest hit for last as a crafty wizard in the stands cast a minor spell to give the Khemri mummy Duamutef an extra boost of strength. A perfect defense and a quick turnover allowed the mummies to line up for the OB’s last play against the face of the stompers #50 Milton “Milt” Oglethorpe. Duamutef took a three dice opportunity to make up for all those light hitting games of push and shove that have characterized much of the team’s recent past. In other news, the OB have officially removed skeleton lineman Maxilla to the coaching staff after nearly two seasons on the deep bench. Fans of the OB will recall that Maxilla received a niggling injury to the knee during the Chaos Cup loss to the Killa Khanz. “That balky knee just wouldn’t go for me during practice this week so I spoke to coach Parson and we decided that I could help the team more by focusing on coaching instead of further rehab.” Maxilla will be replaced by rookie linebacker #15 Xiphoid. |
