Dead Money vs The Furious Furries
It was a lovely rainy day, fans eagerly flocking to see the first game between these two sides. As seems to be the tradition, the Furry fans riot on the first turn after it became apparant that The Furious Furries were recieving. Manboon and Screamer both fail to pick up the ball and, after the fourth attempt that knocks the ball into the crowd throws it back into the centre of the pitch next to Plaguebearer, who'd just sent zombie John Brown to the casualty box.
While Dead Money's werewolves converge around the ball, knocking down Plaguebearer, Manboon and Gish-gors team up to crowdsurf John D. Rockefeller. Rex picks up the ball from the tackle zone of Plaguebearer and dodges away, but Mrasly Mantle shows him his claws, KO'ing the Werewolf and then picking the ball up with the aid of a reroll. There's nowhere he can run though, and he's knocked down by Bennie Ebbers on Dead Money's next turn. This sticks Ebbers within reach of Plaguebearer, who promptly knocks the Werewolf senseless.
Little Lamb has a shot at picking up the ball but fumbles it, the ball landing in a square surrounded by four Furry players. Dead Money try to move the ball away from its guards - knocking down Troey Pelt onto the ball which makes it bounce between Plaguebearer's hands to land next to him and the flesh golem, Mark Hurd. Not without tricks of their own - the Furries chainpush Plaguebearer onto the ball... and he picks it up! He needs to sprint three squares to score; he makes the first two no problem, Martha Stewart is KO'd and even a successfull dodge and sprint by zombie Stein Baggers isn't enough. 2+ to score in the 8th turn of the game, same as in the Furries game against the Hottentot Hotties - Plaguebearer trips over his feet, again.
Half time, the extra incentive offered by that tasty Bloodweiser Babe wakes up both werewolves. 11 v 11. 0 - 0.
The Furries kick short, high, and slightly to the right of Dead Money's half. John D. Rockefeller drops the ball but makes up for it by picking it up from the ground first time. Gish-gors is KO'd as Dead Money's cage rolls to the right. Plaguebearer blitzes his way into the cage before the Furries use their superior strength to get Screamer, Prickly Mantle and Brashgy Antler in contact with the ball carrier. Rex's hunger for blood proves to be Dead Money's downfall, the Werewolf using up a reroll before getting Attacker Down on his 2nd block.
Taking their chance, Screamer and Plaguebearer team up to knock down Rockefeller, needing 6 dice to do it - the ball landing on the edge of the pitch next to Plaguebearer and the ghoul, Kenneth Lee Lay. Things go from bad to worse as Bennie Ebbers fails a dodge with 3 Dead Money players on the side of the pitch and then Rex is KO'd by Prickly Mantle. Mrasly Mantle tries to pick up the ball but fails even with a reroll but luckily Screamer picks it up as it bounces past him. Dead Money are helpless as, using their own ghouls dodge against them, The Furious Furries chainpush Bennie Ebbers off the pitch using Tony Hayward as a battering ram - before pushing him off in turn.
In a horrible position, Kenneth Lee Lay attempts a -2D block on Screamer but can only push him closer to the endzone. Turn 15, the Furries crowdsurf John D. Rockefeller and Dead Money's last ghoul, Screamer cruising in to win the game for the Furries on turn 16... a repeat of their opening game of the season.
Dead Money 0 - 1 The Furious Furries
