Blood Bowl league 2017 standings

Managed to scrape a win against Luke's Orcs last night, 3 - 2 to me.

The orcs received and midway through the first half I couldn't stop them scoring, one of my players (no.5 Arwen) suffering a broken jaw (which would have been worse except for the ministrations of a wandering apothecary) - so she will miss next game. After kick-off the wood elves surged down the left side with a great pick up and throw by Illyrian (despite her gammy leg) and I scored within a couple of turns. A late drive by the orcs and a bit of miscommunication on the wood elf team and the orcs scored late in the half, so I was trailing 1 - 2 at half-time.

In the second half things improved, the wardancer gracefully snapped an orc throwers neck, killing him on the way to scoring a touchdown early in the 2nd half. The orcs received again and an ugly brawl developed in the centre of the pitch as the orcs tried to make ground through the nimble wood elves. despite three players being KO on the wood elf team, the ball came loose at the back of the orc scrum and no. 4 Jastra was lurking in a good position to snatch it and break away for the try line. In desperation the orcs lumbered after her but failed to catch her (Luke failed his go for it when blitzing with no re-rolls left) and she went over the line for a 3 - 2 victory!

My wardancer Yriad levelled up and took a new skill - strip ball.

I rolled a 4 for winnings and with FAME and the win got 60,000, so added to the 60,000 already in the kitty I have purchased a second wardancer

My fan factor also went up by one. Have updated my roster on page 2 of this thread.

Thanks for the game Luke!
