(Just after) Half Time report
Animal House (Khemri) v The Kaikans (Nipponese)
The Kaikans received and on the first drive pushed one of the 4 Mummies into the crowd. In a perfect display of Kendo, the crowd Seriously Injured the Mummy who was niggled (more on this later...). Leaving the Khemri to only blitz, King Kong (the Piling On Mummy) SI'd (-1 Move) a rookie Samurai.
The Nipponese tried to use their extra speed to stretch the defence. However, the pitch was playing really flat so no twisted bones occured from all the extra stretching the Khemri were doing. The 2 Ninjas went for it but GFIs and Guard allowed 2 dice on the ball carrier. A re-roll meant the ball carrier was down. No sweat - Ninjas are great at dodging... With only 1 3+ dodge required the first Ninja didn't make it out leaving the Khemri to gobble up the ball.
A typical Khemri drive followed. Those Block, Dodge, Stand Firm Tomb Guardians are a real pain..... A Ninja got his Tackle Zone on the ball carrier and he wasn't blitzed off. The Block, Dodge, Stand Firm Tomb Guardian dodged to hand off and was shadowed. Misreading the shadow roll, Brian continued and managed to score.... his Mummy didn't regen..... However, the Time Lords were present and the Tomb Guardian had to dodge again. He was successful and the hand off in a TZ to the other Blodge SF Tomb Guardian also worked. He dodged and GFI'd twice to score. The Mummy passed his regen roll
So 1-0 at Half Time. No more damage other than a KO against the Nippon team - the Khemri's av seems to be more than av 7 and for some reason King Kong's belly flops didn't have much effect.
The Kaikans kicked deep - right into the End Zone. The ball was retrieved and a quick pass lobbed upfield and caught. The 2 Ninjas tried to surround the carrier. However, having failed 2 dodges (out of 3) - Dodge skill and a re-roll used, the AG5 Ninja decided not to over stretch and GFI.
The Kaikans need to get the ball back quick...otherwise, all that Guard, and the Mummies' strength will mean another slow walk upfield.
The Assistant Coaches and Cheerleaders on the Khemri team have so far won rerolls at every kick off (ie 3).......
