The Krakens have won five in a row, moving from last place to second place. If they are victorious in their final regular-season game, they win the Quyth Irradiated Conference and move on to the Tier Two playoffs. If they win there, Ionath is destined for Tier One, the highest level of professional football. To get here, Quentin had to rally his team to pay off Don Pine's gambling debt to Mopuk the Sneaky, an underling of team owner Gredok the Splithead.
