Win Result

- Dekalakallisto, Rat Ogre, Claw, Guard, Break Tackle (L, F, MB, PT, WA) 6 5 2 8 S 220k
And it would be wrong to deprive him of his companion:
- Li-Bo, Snotling, Leader (D, RS, SS, S, T) 5 1 3 5 A 50k
Tie Result
A rostered rookie or second-level non-PC piece that didn’t otherwise level can gain dodge or break tackle.

- If Mercato took less casualties, pick an artifact.

- Mercato recruits apothecary assistants (can induce wandering apothecaries).
The Mercato stadium enhancement is relevant (does not include guaranteed effects such as starting with perfect weather in a weather dome):
- Exciting home games are great for the team’s profitability.
- The astrogranite playing surface stadium enhancement is available in Mercato.

- Valodd Wortsnag rejoins the team having learned tackle.
Furgit inflicts a permanent injury.
- The Goblin Forestry Association sponsors a referee rest area for the home stadium.
- Friendly works with the team as an underworld operative (the team can induce bribes).
Either of Bubonost the Infested’s foul appearance and disturbing presence have a mechanical effect.

A player on either team actually dies.
- Yasha is healed of all injuries.
- After three deaths, Yasha gains a prehensile tail. (0/3)
Skrax's diving tackle causes a piece to actually fail a dodge.
- After four tackles, Skrax shares his training with the rest of his clan. (1/4)
MVP: a non-PC piece does something extraordinary that improves the outcome of the match.
