Zellar Dwellarz 2 - Ymiron's G6 Crew 0

This was a hard fought game, much closer than the score might indicate. I kicked off to Luckton's Norse. He had lots of inducements and took a loner merc and the star player troll along with an extra reroll and bloodweiser babes. The star troll had some good moments, including knocking my rat ogre out of the game - in essence, his 6 STR kept my rat ogre completely out of the game as I think I only got 1 block in with the sucker before he got knocked out of the game. I think I would have gone with a wizard instead but he did help luckton.

After getting the first kickoff, he drove the Norse slowly down the field in a good cage with my rats unable to do much of anything to dislodge the ball. But near my goalline, I made a desperation blitz with my dauntless gutter runner through 2 blockers and lo and behold, he put the ball carrier down and out. One pickup by my 1st level passer later, one long ass desperation pass to get it out of my half and a gutter runner crosses the goal line for the first score with one turn left in the half.

The second half starts with the ball coming to me, but a bad choice for a dodging blitz puts me on the back foot. Luckily the ball was deep in my half when this happened, so I was able to recover. A lot of fussing and fighting occurred in my half but I got the ball downfield with only a medium distance pass to a gutter runner in the endzone for the score, but the gutter runner failed the catch. Luckily the ball stayed in the end zone but I was unable to pick it up because his blockers kept harassing me. They got the ball back and tossed it close to midfield but a block by my gutter runner with strip ball freed the ball only to have him pick it up again. With a runner free in my half with the ball, I was in danger of giving up the equalizer but a messed up block by the troll gave me the opening to put a 2D blitz on the ball carrier. The ball was MINE! A little juking, one long pass by Stuart Littlebits to a gutter runner and the 2nd score was made to secure the win.

My linerat with guard is out next game with a gouged eye, but no other lasting injuries occurred. I made over twice as many D6 rolls as he did, and it looks like neither one of us really stunk it up overall (just badly timed fuckups). Of note was my dauntless gutter runner succeeded with all 3 dauntless rolls. Also of note was his armor rolls - he only succeeded 42% of the time to my 44% in an area he really should have been able to hurt me. His block dice, though beating me at 49% to 37%, really fucked him as he had 5 turnovers on block dice to my 1 (he made a lot more blocks with frenzy of course - 117 to 40).

2-game winning streak! I'm coming back!
