Alright, let's get dangerous again!
We are again play against the High Elves. The snobs. The high and mighty. The rich bastards. You know the deal.
Flaming Gladiators? Now what sort of team name is that?

The elves do not have anything specifically worrying skill, so we start the match.
We win the kick off event, and just as before, we select to kick the ball. This drive, I want the elves to come to us, and if they score, I want them to do it fast so there's time to catch up.

This is our line up here:

And Swashmebuckle kicks!
The kick-off event is Quick snap, which doesn't cause us any harm since we are the Orcs, and we like the players to be in contact.

Mammothtank gets blitzed, but it's a push.
(https://i.imgsafe.org/874e91e.jpg)
Then the elves block Black Knight who is once again down.
(https://i.imgsafe.org/a38697f.jpg)
Having picked up the ball and formed the cage, that's what the elves got done in their turn. It's ours go now!
Mammothtank flattens the elf:

Sadly no injury
Spoon agrees for once to reinforce the immediate front of the impending elf cage.

Srihag reinforces right hand side of the defensive line. Scotty follows close behind.
(https://i.imgsafe.org/f4994e8.jpg)
Our first turn ends in a tight defensive line-up.
(https://i.imgsafe.org/b75f216.jpg)
Since their lineman was conveniently pinched against the border of the pitch, the elves attempt to dodge him away. Mammothtank is awake, and does not let that happen.
(https://i.imgsafe.org/fc75c61.jpg)
He actually injures the elf in the tackle. It's a pinched nerve, so their blitzer will miss the next game.
And harsh is Blood Bowl. Any moment a single failure happens, it's an immediate
TurnoverScourge immediately takes advantage of this and floor one elf.
(https://i.imgsafe.org/a384000.jpg)
Once again, no injury. Come on dude!
Mighty blowin' Mammoth blitzes the bottom left hand corner of the cage.
(https://i.imgsafe.org/f63727e.jpg)
He knocks the elf down, but that's about it.
Hey Spoon, would you kindly block that one elf there?
(https://i.imgsafe.org/2a87a3b.jpg)
Oh good, he obeys
(https://i.imgsafe.org/64a0805.jpg)
[Sigh]
TurnoverLike I was saying, the wind direction changes frighteningly fast in Blood bowl.
The elves then try to dodge away from Mammoth.
(https://i.imgsafe.org/abca6a9.jpg)
Which turns out to be a bad idea.
TurnoverSo that's elves failing two dodges in a row. Mammoth is on a roll!
Scourge is sandwiching another elf against the pitch border. He takes a punch!
(https://i.imgsafe.org/343c6cd.jpg)
(https://i.imgsafe.org/6b4ee05.jpg)
(https://i.imgsafe.org/7e3fe70.jpg)
(https://i.imgsafe.org/9f2a3ae.jpg)
I don't know which one of those I'd take, a punch by a Black Orc or the audience jumping on me. But both at the same time? It's a knock out! Gotta love the referee looking at the block and noddin', yup, that's a clean block right there.
The troll, well, is trolling once again
(https://i.imgsafe.org/dda3d3b.jpg)
Black Knight demonstrates the significance of having Block by rolling double skulls. Had he had block, the elf would've gone down! But alas, it's not meant to be!
(https://i.imgsafe.org/184f675.jpg)
Re-roll! And it's a push!
Scotty then blitzes the ball carrier with a one die. And pushes.
We end our third turn by leaving the elves in the middle of a smack down zone. Prepare for the pain!
(https://i.imgsafe.org/8e5d4f9.jpg)
The elves turn sees a two die block against Black Dynamite. It's a double skull once again. And Dynamite either doesn't have block, so it's both down.
(https://i.imgsafe.org/ede9606.jpg)
And
turnover. Man these turnovers are getting ridiculous.
Spoon, get up.
(https://i.imgsafe.org/5dd88e5.jpg)
I'm starting to think about a theme song for Spoon. How's this:
Keep trollin', trollin', trollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies trollin'
Mad Max is luckily competent and strips the ball carrier of one defender
(https://i.imgsafe.org/410b77b.jpg)
He stuns the hapless elf
Which is followed by a timely block from Blackbelt
(https://i.imgsafe.org/95bd438.jpg)
Which is a knock out. Come
on guys. You just need to roll one better to get levelled up!
Meanwhile, Scotty fowcibly wemoves the ball from the fingewnuts of the high elf. Vewy fowcibly. No injury, though.
(https://i.imgsafe.org/ed2e830.jpg)
Next, Mammoth blitzes, with the aim of just pushing the tackling player away.
(https://i.imgsafe.org/4c52b17.jpg)
Well you can knock him down as well if you want to.
He then does next something unexpected - he attempts to pick-up the ball! Come on 2/3 here!
(https://i.imgsafe.org/91d34b1.jpg)
He fails the pick-up. Re-roll!
And it strangely succeeds, given the amount of double skulls in this game I totally expected that to be two failures in a row.
The rest of the available players mark those elf players still standing.
(https://i.imgsafe.org/04d746c.jpg)
That's our fourth turn right there.
