Just as the opening kick off begins, a six turn RIOT broke out over a mustard shortage in the
stands, giving the newly formed experimental Khemri team little chance to score on their receiving
drive. They still tried to make an effort, but unfortunately their under agilitied Pass-Ra was
unable to separate the waiting ball from an apparently unyielding pitch. To make matters worse, a
rookie Skink from the opposing team, managed to get through the defensive line and snag the ball
right out from under the hapless Pass-Ra, and take it all the way to the end zone giving the Lizards
a 1-0 advantage at the half.
The second half only proved a little better for the Khemri, as they were able to prevent the
Lizards from keeping the ball and scoring, but again had trouble picking it up. Although late in the
half, they did manage to make a few astounding rolls and pass the ball to a lucky skeleton who was
withing range of the end zone, tying it up at the half.
Headed to overtime the the Khemri had a slight numbers, and what happened next didn't help the
Lizards. A part time Janitor, and a Janitor with a gambling problem to boot, who seemed to have a
lot riding on the game, apparently was trying to make sure that the Lizards did not win at all
costs, had gathered up all of the relish jars earlier in the week, opened them all, and introduced
Botulism cultures into said relish. He then left it in the Lizards KO'ed box, causing several
players who ate the relish, to become violently ill. When the fans caught wind of this, and with the
lack of mustard still fresh in their minds, they again became agitated, this time, invading the
pitch. Unfortunately 6 more Lizards were hurt, including 3 casualties!
But in the end, the Khemri were able to overwhelm the few remaining Lizards, but agilityless
Khemri were unable to do anything with the ball. Resulting in a rarity called a TIE! |
