Ball control was name of the game however, as the undead really struggled. a blitz in my favor and later a blizzard really made it hard for the skeletons to hold on to ball. to keep game close.

An ominous cloud roled in the cool morning air as the jet black bus pulled up to the stadium.  Four warn and balding tires ground haltingly not unlike a hurse sidling up to the mortuary door in anticipation of the grim task at hand.  Thousands were on hand once more to bear witness to the arrival of the Khemri team of Oath Breakers to the summer tournament of champions, which is the Chaos Cup.  The hearts and minds of thousand of onlookers were pulsing with anticipation as “The Flight of the Bumblebee” peeled forth to announce the Dead Man’s Party.  A mighty roar went up to greet them as coach Parson was seen leading his team proudly down the hallowed halls, a stalwart and unmoving figure in the sea of undead as they scrambled over one another to find once more the glorious pitch of battle.

Perinnial all-stars O-gie Oglethorpe and Carl “BOA” Dobler led the hometeam Renegades in an early morning run to work out the pre-game jitters while the sons of Horus worshiped at the pocelain alter in anticipation.  This match was truly to be a David v. Goliath for the ages.  League officials laid down the ground rules with the Khemri receiving 90% of their team value in inducements to even up the match “a bit.” Surly no other match in this year’s tournament will be more one sided - even in the face of so many premier teams.

As the kickoff insued and the frenzy began in full, many looked around for the gods of Chaos who were said to have purchased tickets for the event.  The gods could not take credit for the presence of a telepath whom many believe the OB must have bribed to obtain her cooperation. While her mental scream temporarily stuned the Renegades into inactivity during the first drive of the game, Boris Karloff was able to take advantage of the moment and scored an early TD. 

One can only surmize that if they didn’t just call their visit off because of the poor economy (and you think it’s hard to raise a family now a days, try supporting a family of gods and goddesses that really are used to having it all!) that the G-o-C were surely held captive in the legendary traffic that is Veteran’s Parkway.  However, Someone must have made it eventually.  Nothing else can properly explain how a sudden blizzard interupted the crisp July morning during the seventh period of the first half.  This unusually chaotic weather played a major role in the outcome of the game as it hindered passes and unsettled footing however it was not the only sign of the chaos on the pitch.  During half-time a possible wardrobe malfunction is credited with starting a riot in the stands which spilled over onto the fields.  In and of itself this is not all that unusual during a blood bowl match, however the official’s flat refusal to reset the clock even with both teams offering bribes to do so was rather exemplary.  And then during the final minutes of the game the ball carrier fell just inches short of the goal line in a patch of snow that crews had failed to completely clear.  One would expect that - to decide the game, however in a stunning flash of chaotic genious the team carrying the ball was down by three and the goal would have absolutely no bearing on the game either way.  Efforts to confirm the presence of the G o C were inconclusive and often contradictory which lends further credability to the belief of many that they took a very active hand in the outcome of the game.  Ironically, if they did in fact take action it only served to ensure the status quo, the expected and often anticipated victory of the heavily favored Renegades.

After the game Coach Parson stated during the postgame news conference; “The gods give and the gods surely take away.  We had a lot taken away from us today, as did the family of “Big” Grimm.  Hapi and our entire team would like to offer our sincere condolences to his family and friends.  Seth died doing what he loved and I am sure his memory will persevere in the annals of Steeltown.  But either way, this team will remember his contribution to the game and that of all those who have gone before.  They will persevere and find new life in those of us who remember them and our experiences of them.  What else is there for those whom the gods have snatched away from deaths cool clutches once again?  All we really need to navigate in either life or undeath is our experience.  In the end, that’s all any of us will ever really have.  This has been a fine young team, we all learned a lot.  I was proud to captain us thru the shoals of our first season and look forward to smoother sailing ahead.  Thank you!”

As the lights went out on a four to one scoreboard and a two and seven season, few remained to note how it really mattered to anyone.  Few except those undead who were cursed to go on, to re-live this aweful season in the tape room of their rememberances over and over in the hope that they might regain their honor and improve their position for next year.  Clearly, season four is over for the Oath Breakers but season five is just before them.
