Obviously Milford was so excited about the upcoming Lustrian that his days got confused. The parties have been non stop and he is working with a permanant hang over. |

**Milford reporting from the Lustrian Challenge**
We fumbbl fans I had a sit down yesterday with coach Paul "Brute" Hicksey last night over 17 pints of beer. And he told the most incrediable story of the travels of the Blood Sea Buccaneers. After I heard the story I was in shock and awe. Coach Hicksey related the captains log from the journey over to Lustria.
*****
Clear and sunny day with a easterly wind of 11knots.
We have cleared the port of Pirates Cove. Due to crew delays we are a half day behind the Lustrian Armada. Crewman Horarius will receive 8 lashes for his bar fight that cost the team 100 GC for repairs in our last port of call.
We are tacking good and should catch up to the armada around 7 AM tommorow for the final voyage into Lustria.
2:15 PM: squall lines are starting to form up to the south west, they are light and should not be a problem
2:47 PM Ship sighted to the east over the horizon, initial ovbeservation is a corsair.
2:58 PM: Ship has been spotted 20 miles to stern, black sails and flying a banner. It is the Hellbound! Coach Arktoris and his crew are obviously in pursuit. Crew is called to general quarters.
3:01 PM: PainStates coaches have a huddle up to decide their course of action. Coach Hicksey and Anderson want to immediatly turn around and engage the Hellbound. Coach Cooper, TIllison and Owener JJ Jones advise to hold course and out run the scumm and make it to Lustria with out a fight. PainState decides that staying course to Lustria is the proper choice and orders full sails.
3:16PM: The Hellbound is starting to gain at a slow pace. PainState knows that a stern chase is a long chase for the Hellbound and returns to his cabin to talk to Hicksey.
6.49 PM: The sun is starting to set and the Hellbound is slowly making up the ground. PainState is viewing the Hellbound with his sight glass laughing under his breath as Arktoris is visably agitated at the time it is taking to catch the Buccaneers. With the sun going down a night action is probally going to be the course of action. Arktoris feels the gaze of Pain State and looks to the sea and gives the Bucs the Hellbound salute, "the Bird" and lifts a long rifle. He takes aims and shoots. PainState knows what is coming, pay back, and he takes a step to the right. Swab Hutchinson is suddenly blow off his feet as a projectile of rasberry jam crashes into his head and sends him to the KO box.
7:48 PM: the last rays of the sun are slowly setting over the horizon and the squall lines that formed up early the day are slowly moving across the bow of the Buccaneers. Lightning strikes are visable but the winds are low. PainState takes another look at the Hellbound and notices that Arktoris and some of his crew are watching the Buccaneers. A lady in dark robes appears on the hellbound and she starts a chant, dark magic is visable in the low light of the open sea. After 5 minutes she raises her arms and releashes the dark energy. A large bolt of black and orange energy is unleashed. The sky is lit up with the energy as it flys high over the heads of the Buccaneers and fly's to the West over the bow of the Buccaneers. Off on the horizon to the west a dark glow is visable for 5 minutes and then fades. Strange event indeed, PainState had no idea of the Chaos to come.
8:10PM: Last light and the Hellbound is 9 miles to stern, figure at the current pace action should commence around 1AM. Crew is order to stay on alert for the coming battle.
9:47PM: The squall are starting to form up into a storm. PainState believes this will aid the Bucs in their evasive manuvers but the storm is a growing concern.
10:42PM: The squalls have given way to periods of heavy rain and wind. The pace of action is picking up as the Bucs and Hellbound are fighting the growing storm. 3 Lightning strikes to port come really close. The crew is back at general quarters as the Hellbound is decending on them at a rapid pace now.
11:37PM: the first volley is heard on the wind as the Hellbound veers to the port side to unleash a salvo at long range. The shots come up short and very wide but the point is made, it is just a matter of time now.
Midnight: the Hellbound is allmost on top of their prize. The Hellbound has the Bucs were they want them. Any move can be countered at this range, just waiting for the Bucs to make the first move.
12: 11 AM: The Buccaneer coaching staff is huddled up again to try to figure out how to get out of the clutches of the Charrioteers.
12: 15 AM: the Hellbound breaks through a line of rain and is under 500 yards to the stern. PainState calls for a starboard turn, sharp. As the Bucs bow turns over PainState grabs the wheel and does a hard over to port. The Bucs are thrown to their feet as the ship turns hard to port headed straight into a wall of rain and lightning.
Arktoris knew now was the moment. He sees PainState giving out order and the Bucs ship starts it turn to starboard. RIGHT FULL RUDDER!!!! WAIT FOR IT!!!! and then the Bucs veer sharply to port. Arrggg....Left FULL RUDDER!!!!! BOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!!! Arktoris is covered in gunpowder as the Hellbound opens up with a full broad side as the Bucs showed them selves crossing the T in front of the Hellbound. But the violent swing caused the Hellbound to list heavily to starboard. The 10 Port cannons of the Hellbound let fly, 3 shots hit home as their shots blow gaping holes in the Bucs ship, the other 7 shots shoot to high for the range and go over the bucs ship. The Hellbound turns over to port but the Bucs have vanished into the squall line of storms. BAH!!! arktoris yells out, "keep up the pursuit".
12:17 AM: damage reports are coming in that the we are taking in water in the galley and that 2 gun crews are knocked out. The fore quater is shot up to hell and bodies are strewned out. The Bucs are full mast into the squall and being buffeted by the high winds. The Bucs veer into the wind trying to gain some distance, fast.
12:31 AM: The Hellbound is spoted off starboard stern going back and forth trying to find the Bucs. PainState orders another hard starboard turn into a large rain storm to hide themsleves again.
2:16 AM: Allmost two hours of hit and miss with the Hellbound as both ships manuver through the squalls looking for that kill shot.
2:21AM: PainState knows that this death dance needs to come to an end. Running and evading will not shake the Hellbound off their butts.
2:43 AM: Running in rain to the west the Bucs see a glowing light up ahead. It is faint but their is light. The Bucs come out of the squall to a scene of carnage. The sea is covered in bodies and wood. The Armada is caught in the death grip of the largest maelstrom any sailor has ever scene. The center is over 5 miles to the south west but even at that distance the ships, hundreds of them are slowly being drawn in. Some of the ships on the edges are slowly making distance and pulling away. Lightning is striking all over the sea and the death throws of the crews and ships can be heard over the roar of the wind.
2:44: The Hellbound is sighted coming out of the squall 900 yards away.
2:45 The Hellbound emerges into the center of the storm to witness the death throes of the Lustrian Armada. A battle cry rises up from the Hellbound at the scene of vast carnage! "There they are!!!!, FIRE!!!!" Coach Arktoris looks starboard looking for the Buccaneers. A small yacht carrying the Mootland Raiders was floundering on the edge of the malestroms pull. "NO" Arktoris yells out but to late for his trigger happy crew. They unleash a full broadside on the yacht. Geisers of water, wood, metal and fling kibbly bits fill the sky. The Raiders run in the Lustrian challenge meets an end in the sea of Lustria. "YAARRGGG, you idiots thats not the Bucs!" a cry from a look out pierces the storm "Enemy running on the side!" Arktoris wheels around to see another black corvet pulling up at under 100 yards giving a full broadside. "Who the hell is that?"
****
Coack P-K had been stewing since the Blood Sea Buccaneers bounced them from the Warpstone open, that day of dirty players and the sound of breaking bones was to much. But now was his chance. He knew the Buccaneers had fallen behind the armada and in these squalls maybe he to could fall behind and find a nice ambush sight to avenge himself and his team the Puddefjord Pirates.
The Pirates saw the Buccaneers come out of the storm allmost on top of their laps. It was to much to believe. P-K ordered his crew to battlestations and came around for a "run" on the Bucs. But what were the Bucs doing? they came out of the squall and immediatly turned over to port and allmost entered "irons" and floated on the edge of the storm. They were running their 16 guns out. Could it be that they knew of their trap and turned it on them?
When breaking out the storm another ship came barreling down on them. "ARRGGGG!!!! the Hellbound are on us!!! prepare to be boarded" Oh the Gods have conspired against us P-K thought. The Bucs and Hellbound were both bearing down on them. Suddenly the Hellbound opens up and blow the raiders to kingdon come.
"Give them a broadside lads!! RaAHHHHHH!!!!"
***
"What the Hell is going on? DeMaio what the hell is going on? " DeMaio was scanning the sea for the Bucs and ducks as a full broadside from the Pirates rips into the Hellbound. "Sir! its that sorry ass crew the Puddeford Pirates!" "What? I thought we finished off those lamers after the Bucs kicked in their teeth" "I dont think so Sir!" DeMaio who was laying on the deck was looking to the north and his eyes get wide with anger, fear, anticipation and admiration as the real trap was sprung. Lingering like a shadow at the edge of the storm was the Buccaneers just floating in the water as the Hellbound at 75 Yards offers it self to a full broadside. "SIR, get down!"
****
It was to much to believe. The Hellbound came out of the rain and was ambushed by the pirates. Caught between the two ships they were dead to rights. The Pirates broadside was weak, showing no seamanship they just graze the Hellbound and do minimal damage. Now was the time to show our stuff. PainState holds the action for the right moment..."FIRE!!!" the Bucs broadside hits the hell bound full on. The Hellbound lurches in the sea and allmost goes over from the force of the blow. All the masts are blow apart and the Charrioteers take massive CAS from the blasts. The Hellbound starts to take on serious watter, listing to starboard and over 75% of its crew taken out of action, Its fate was sealed.
***
P-K went from revenge to utter despair. The Hellbound was lit up like a 4th of july celebration, carnage blowing into the sea. "Enemy to stern!" coach P-K turns to see another ship pulling across and the last memory he has is the flag of GRRRR....Shiver Mi Timbers unloads the kitchen sink on them.
***
Coach Calcium could not believe it.. The Bucs and Hellbound going at it. Now was his shot to take down both of them whille they were engaged. But who in the hell are these pirates? Well path of least resistance was the order of the day. "Take them out, NOW!" the Broadside opens up the Pirates but then something odd happened. The Pirates ship blows up with the force of a thousand Ogres bashing you on the head. Their ship explodes into a million shards and rips the Timbers ships down to its deck. The Masts blow apart like weeds in a storm and the the Timbers ship lists to the port as they now have no power and the force of the Maelstrom is slowly pulling them in.
15 Minutes later the Timbers are slowly draw in and the Sea of Lustria claims some more victims.
****
The Buccaneers let out a war cry at the glory, the carnage, the sight of VICTORY!!!! the Pirates ship dissapeared in a cloud of death and the Timbers were mortally wounded and listing heavily. The Bucs once again get under power and pull alongside the Hellbound.
Coach Arktoris was composed but one angry dude, just simmering, filled with rage. The Gods had once again conspired against him and the Buccaneers once again elude him.
"PainState you lucky bastard! I will get you soon enough. Next time will be on the pitch and not out in the open sea." PainState just laughs at the horrible state of affairs for Arktoris "Well it could be worse Ark. atleast you are still afloat for a little. But we are off to the Lustrian mate and we will see you guys on the pitch some day. If you have the balls why dont you get your sorry ass boat back into shape and meet us in the Lustrian! SO if you want some of us you need to get your team applied to the Lustrian and take your shot."
As the Buc's pulled away coach Hicksey comes up to PainState, "you think that a wise move letting those guys off the hook like that?" "Dont worry about it Paul they will be back soon enought, Nuffle has another fate for those guys, we will get our shot soon enough"
***
"Sir we need to get under power now or the maelstrom will surely pull us in." "DeMaio dont go soft on me now. Our fate is sealed on the pitch not out here in the open sea. Think of it as just another adventure. WE will rise again as we allways do. So crack open the Bugmans and lets sit here and have a drink whille we can still draw a breath, I hate to wast a good keg of Bugmans." Arktoris and DeMaio the last two men left alive on the Hellbound witness the carnage of the Maelstrom from the stricken Hellbound and slowly vanish into the heart of the sea.
****
Post script to the Battle of the Lustrian Sea
Zitalok was on his skiff pulling in his catch from the previous night. It was a good catch as storms allways draw the fish closer to shore. Soteck was kind today as Zitalok was struggling to pull in over 125 lbs of fish. As he was pulling his haul into his boat he sees a large shadow over come his skiff. A large black ship with black sails was drifting by. Sitalok lets out a skink cry and starts pulling with all his might on his pole to get back to shore. As he pulls away he hears humans on board.
"DeMaio roust the crew, get your sorry asses up and about!!! we got to make port before the Lustrian Application closes. Move you lubbers we got revenge on the mind and a date with destiny!"
*******************************
After such a tale Fumbbl fans I can only hope that the conclusion to this tale will find its way on the pitch for the glory of Nuffle and all the ravid Blood Bowl Fans. |

What to do?
the Hellbound are hell bent on taking down the Buccaneers...they are getting desperate!! posting blogs, leaving meassages in their game reports.
But should I take them on in one final battle on the pitch before the Lustrian kicks off?
Oh I so want to throw down on his butt BUT my mind tells me to stand pat and deal with this distraction after the Lustrian Glory!
what to do?
note: this would be the Bucs VS Hellbounds 8th match and they are no hold barred throw downs that allways leaves the bodies on the floor. Never a good propostion when you need 16 guys for a major not 16 hours away. |

Well the Buccaneers could not resist the Pull of battle!
the Rumble in the jungle takes place
Well the Hellbound tracked the Bucs all the way to the shores of Lustria and cornered us at the beach..
BEACH BLOOD BOWL WAS ON!!!
110,000 crazed fans showed up for the match and they loved it.
Sand in the face, sand in the crotch, Sandy DP fouls left and right which was probally why both our DPs could not hurt each other.
Classic match that came down to a desperation pass that the Bucs Intercepted and returned in for the game winning TD..
Just hope I dont regret losing that Blodge blitzer to apoth fail, once again, once the Lustrian kicks off.
******
Sunk off the shores of Lustria, the black winds of Hades blows, lifting the chariots of steel out of the water, and charge the beaches ahead! Battlestandard in hand...the road warriors sound the charge into glory ride! With hands of DOOM, end the light of day of our sworn enemies beyond the grave! With immortal hatred....we...shall....bury...you!
Hail to Terra Watt who lays to waste Mac Truck! In a blink of an eye, his body becomes corpse before it hits the ground! The apothecary goes to revive him....NAY...the head is missing....now dangling upon Watt's chariot! Sunken eyes, now fixed on the road to Hell!
Hail to Cip who explodes upon impact of a mighty gang foul! You DIE for the glory of the fans!
But catastrophe befalls the demons in human skin, their general is knocked on his noggin and passes out. Our brain science commander is out....and the winning pass is intercepted! Bucs win in turn 16!
DeMaio "All but one of you escape my grasp this day. But like the devil...I'm very patient in claiming what is rightfully mine. You win today...but next time, the abyss of Hades shall open wide...and swallow you whole!"
DeMaio gets out a shovel and begins to dig 16 six foot holes in the ground...readying the Bucs new homes |
