Nice going, Stout..... NOT!

Looks like I'll have to try my shot at knocking down the 3-0 Pansies.

Can't wait to see the pics here.

When: Tuesday, May 24th, 2005
Where: Casa Stout
Why? Because Elves were made for smashin’

The Midway Monsters met the Harlequins on the pitch for the second time this season. It was a beautiful day for Bloodbowl, there was grass, a ball, and some willing victims for sacrifice to Nuffle. The Harlequins, fearing possible scars, wisely chose a second Apothecary using their inducements. The stadium was filled with 64,000 screaming fans.

I took poor notes on this game, but Stout can fill in the details. The theme for this game was “Goblins can’t pick up the ball”

The first scrimmage

The Harlequins won the toss and elected to receive. They picked up the ball, made a pass, and drove deep into the Monster’s defense. On the ogre’s turn, they attempted a three-dice block on the catcher, rolling nothing better than a push. Using a reroll, the results were no better. On turn two, the elf easily dodged in for the first score.

Kicking off to the ogres, the ogres smashed some elves but the goblin failed to pick up the ball. The harlequins dodged away while the ogres smashed the hapless elves. Finally, on turn seven, Fonda LaFemme made a run requiring four dodges to make the score 2-0. One elf was taken out of the game, while an ogre and a goblin were casualties.

Don't they look small....andy tasty.....

The second half was more of the same. The elves remembered how to foul, but could never really seem to hurt the ogres (damn that toughness ability!). The goblins continued to fail to pick up the ball for a record nine times! An elf lineman was hit so hard that he ended up with a niggling injury. At the end, it was Harlequins 4, Monsters 0.

The Harlequins attempt to pick up a loose ball and score

The harelquins earned 50K, but lost a fan factor. The ogres also earned 50K and remained at their current fan factor.

Nice pictures, report, and great Elven font on the one with "Agility 5, bonehead!".

BTW: Damn Stout, you need to get into 40k so we can see some of this magic in the Battle Reports!

How about winnings and new tean values?

Damn, Stout, I laughed so hard I almost crapped my pants!

Seriously, what is that font the elf used in his thought balloon?

I thought it was absolutely perfect for your elves. Thought you would like it.
