Summary

Down at the Old World Football League, Gym-Bo, the coach of the Chaos Terrors of Tarantino, has created a monstrosity of a team.  During the first half, the Necromantic Graveyard Rats were victim to 3 failed regen injuries and a knocked out werewolf.  Killabruh, the necromantic coach, desperately GFI'd his ghoul on a break-away run as furthest as he could go with the ball, 10 spaces from the end-zone.  With no werewolves, a wight and flesh golem out of commission, bystanders could see the will to fight being sucked out of the coach.  That was until the end of Gym-Bo's turn... You're the necromantic coach.  What did he see? And what's the best way to get it done?

Goal

You tell me. :)

Rules

• You must do it in 1 turn.
• Assume that all 1d and 2d (your favor) blocks will result in pushes.  All 2d blocks in opponent's favor will result as skulls.
• Ensure every 1d non-block action attempt is at most 3+ risk (i.e. passes, catches, hand-offs, dodges, all should be 2+ or 3+ for success).  Assume successful rolls.
• Assume tentacle rolls are passed and that you can dodge out.

Skip's Answer

By marking the side-stepping ghoul, Gym-Bo inadvertently allowed Killabruh the opportunity to attempt a chain push TD! With good luck, the game can be tied!

1. Dodge Wight #2 out of tackle zone and mark Chaos Players 2 and 12
2. Use Zombie #12 to 1D block Chaos Player #12 and pushing him down one square. This should form a "T" with Ghoul #7, Wight #2, Beastman #12, and Chaos Warrior #2.  The intent is now to blitz Chaos Warrior #2 from the bottom so you can chain push your Ghoul #7 closer to the end-zone.
3. Blitz with Ghoul #8.  Dodge out of tackle zone and see if Dodge Reroll was used.  If not you can dodge into the space directly south of Chaos Player #2.  This is a 4+ roll but you can use the Dodge RR... 75%.  If not you can choose to rather GFI twice instead.  Push Chaos Player #2 into Ghoul #7.  This will activate his sidestep.  Move Ghoul #7 closer to the endzone.
4. Dodge out and GFI twice to score the TD.
