Week One... of the Kalarsys Blood Bowl League!
Everpeak Ironbeards 2
Republic Falcons 1
This game started very quickly for the Falcons. Bobby Frasier connected with Ryan Swanson on a long Touchdown pass. And then that was it for the Falcons. The Ironbeards then started doing what they do best, kicking ass and not worrying about taking names.
One the ensuing kickoff, the ball was picked by Dwarven Runner Artur Warhammer. No Falcon was anywhere near him to touch, because the Ironbeards line made sure that just about every Human on the pitch was laying flat on their back, staring at the sun… and smiling. A couple Falcons were carted of the field, including one that was fouled by Hamer Alepiss, who had this to say after the game while visibly intoxicated:
“The hell d’you want me to do!?!? He looked at me funny!!! He washn’t looking at anything else then… nah…”
That wasn’t Alepiss’s only foul. Late in the second half he was tossed for another such hit. However, he had been drinking too much “Dwarfade” at halftime to be able to further elaborate.
And how the first half ended is how the second began. Random Falcons were thrown all over the field, this time as Grunt Boulderdash casually scooped up the ball and ran as fast as his stumpy little legs could carry him for a score. It was obvious that Republic coach Rex Ripley had devised a new strategy…
“We didn’t want our guys to get killed.”
And that’s exactly what the Ironbeards attempted to do. In total four Humans were taken off on gurneys. But that didn’t stop Human Blitzer Michael Manson from taking out his Dwarven counterpart, Gurt Brandybreath.
Analysis:
This was classic Ironbeard football. Beat the hell out of everybody and then score when all the opposition is taking a “nap”. Repeat, take lead, and then beat on everything that moves!
For the Falcons, they were extremely lucky to leave this game with a team intact, let alone not losing anyone for next week’s game. They tried to use the speed and finesse they had over the Ironbeards, hoping to do enough to put together a solid game early, and survive late. While they survived late, they needed more offense early to really hand with the Dwarves.
Archers of Waterdeep 6
Gang Green 0
Ummm…. Yeah…. This was NOT a game. It was a bloodbath. And the Archers are not known for being exceedingly brutal. The field, when all was said and done, looked more like a green and red Jackson Pollack painting.
The game started off on the wrong foot for the Gang as their very own chainsaw wielding psychopath, Charlie, could not get the BunyanAxe 70000 to start. The first alert referee in league history, noted this and threw him off the field.
That may have saved Charlie’s miserable life. It took three plays for the Archers to find the endzone as Araas Starglance connected with Lufin Greystone to put them up one nothing.
However, the Goblins were to receive the ball next. They showed their game plan as Twinkles returned the kickoff and ran up to big Bubbles the Troll. Unfortunately, rather pick up Twinkles and toss him over the Elven defense. He looked around, sat down, and started playing with his toes. Twinkles, was then surrounded and hit by Archers Blitzer Eliaas Sunsword. Sunsword scooped by the ball and ran it in for a score.
The Gang again couldn’t get anything going as they tried to have Bubbles throw another Goblin over the Elves defenders. However, this time Bubbles at least picked up the ball carrier, Wally. That was where it started going wrong again as Bubbles realized that Goblin meat just might taste pretty darn good. He picked up poor Wally, who wiggled out of the Troll’s grasp and landed awkwardly on the ground… smashing his hand! He fumbled, of course, at which Lufin Greystone once again picked up the ball and ran it in for another score.
That looked like the end of the half, but the referee apparently didn’t have his blood lust satisfied and added extra time to the first half.
Again, the Gang returned the kick. This time Swizzlestick, whom had just witnessed his teammate almost be devoured. He ran up to Bubbles, who chucked him down the field. Swizzlestick was in the open field with time running out! He got to the one yard line when he tripped over a skull that had been left out on the field. He fumbled as the half came to a close, Archers up 3-0. Halftime entertainment included the burning at the stake of Head Groundskeeper Cuddly Dudley.
Not much to say about the second half. Araas Starglance connected on two more touchdown passes, one to Greystone and one to Rayden Woodsong. Woodsong also added another score with a recovery.
Yet the story of the second half was what happened to Gang Green. Eliaas Sunsword, on top of scoring a touchdown, also made the first kill of the season, blindsiding Goblin rookie Stinky. No one caught what happened, but there was a huge blood mark on the field around Stinky. Dahlas Shadetraveller then also broke the arm of Slappy. At the end, the Goblins who started it out with fourteen players ended with seven.

What is there to analyze???
More to come! Still have three more games this week.
