(from the Midnight Sun - CPI):
68,000 rabid fans packed Three Shivers Stadium to watch the only visit of the Khorne
Tuskers this season. They were treated to a breakout game for Drow Witch Elf, Belladonna
N'ix, who had a score, a casualty, and the Game MVP. The Darkelves won the toss and
hoped to make a quick score. Stiff goat defense and bad elf ball handling prevented this.A
major scrum developed deep in the Tusker end of the field. Attacks and counter attacks led
to the ball being bounced around in no-elfs land.Eventually Belladonna broke free for the
score. The ensuing Tusker drive was stopped abruptly when a Beastman pass was picked
off and run back for a second TD. Half ended with Apocalypse Drow holding a commanding
2-0 lead.
The Chaos team put together a solid drive (partially thanks to the Darkelves playing 'El
Matador') and scored about midway thru the half. Darkelf hopes to run up the score were
stymied as a line-elf stumbled when attempting to pass the ball downfield. After some big
hitting on both sides, sturdy elf lineman Adonis Vex jumped on the open ball and attempted
the Short Pass to an open Belladonna. Proving that turnabout is fair play, a beastman
intercepted the pass and was soon streaking into the open field for the tie. Suddenly his
sharp taloned deathgrip popped the ball, stopping the play cold and giving the Darkelves a
second try at another TD (which they goofed).
In other news, Darkelf Assassin, Psynister Eclipse was arrested for the murder of the High
Elf catcher who was killed in suspicious circumstances during the Week 1 game. The A.
Drow front office decided to cut him rather than picking up the court costs.

Commentary from da Coach: Game was a struggle as I managed to miss rolls at
inopportune times. Knowing I had the Burst Ball in reserve I just sort of cruised in the 2nd,
hoping for a third score.
