The Legend of Lord Shiamoto:

2nd Incarnation of Lord Shiamoto (Active):
After some very good and satisfying seasons in this little Blood Bowl league, Lord Shiamoto became careless. He thought, nobody could harm him, withstanding some very heavy players. But Destiny likes jokes, and some foes have long memories. As it now seems, Count Jurij was still angry about the killing of his favourite servant Mirko. Beside from weakening the Secret Cult would help him reach the top of the league with his Tower. So he made a sinister plan. With the help of an allied Necromancer, he let conjure some real evil death magic. That should end the existence of Lord Shiamoto.

The humble earth elemental Chthonic Cobaltite waited in the locker room for the match to begin. When a pale man walked to him saying something strange about being a friend of his master. Chthonic Cobaltite remebered the last time when he crushed some little man beside the pitch, his master got very angry. He said, ONLY on the pitch and ONLY the opposing team shall be crushed. So he just waited, when the human started painting some magic runes on his right fist and explaining, they were to improve the camera focus. Chthonic Cobaltite shrug with his stone shoulders and let him go. After a short time the match began.

The Secret Cult started the match receiving the ball and Ronin Headchopper just KOed Big Gregg. The Master got nervous and commanded the team to stop the offense of the other team. Chthonic Cobaltite should stop Lord Shiamoto, the leader of the other team from moving away. So he stepped close to him, awaiting so heavy hard hits. Lord Shiamoto did the expected, but couldn't get a right grip on the slippery stone, so the both stood next to each other. Then some more elementals came close and when the sumo next to Lord Shiamoto felt, Chthonic Cobaltite tried to beat him. He didn't expect much, but the magic runes started glowing stronger and when he hit the Oni, they exploded with a wild burst of energy. Not the approaching healer or the unnatural demonic powers could help Lord Shiamoto. The Undying seemed to die...

In his anger, Ha To Ri fouled Chthonic Cobaltite, but couldn't kill him, just hurt him at least a little bit.

The next days the followers of Lord Shiamoto meditated and were unsure how to continue. They had some really good seasons and especialy the Ronin would most likely get offerings as blitzers in some human teams. But High Priest To'Shi said, they shall have faith and praise the Lord. So they did. The followers of Lord Shiamoto prayed long hours and High Priest To'Shi spoke of sacrifices. They would need the blood of extraordinary players.

In the match versus the Everlasting Vultures of Settra Su Ha killed Umir. High Priest To'Shi was eager, as he felt something in the moment of the dying. So he knew, they were on the right way. They would just need to collect more souls for the incarnation of Lord Shiamoto.

Next match was versus the Darkenwood Sentinels and the Ronins were eager to kill some enemies, too. The first half was a bit heavy, since Deeproot Strongbranch was on the pitch. But as the sun burnt down, the trees got some trouble with dehydration. So the offense of the Sentinels was weakened. On the first turn of second half Ronin Four Finger Death Punch saw his chance, and made a chi attack. He broke the main energy point of the poor birch Sweet Seed and she withered on the pitch.

The ritual to bring back Lord Shiamoto was nearly complete, when the match versus the greasy Modryn's Midnight Meddlers was about to start. After the first half, four elves were wounded, but no one was dead...a pity. But the famous wardancer Vanhir had slain Ronin Killing Strike. The High Priest To'Shi saw the chance accrued. He laid out the corpse on the side of the pitch and started to prepare it for the ritual. "Hurry now, loyal servants, bring me the heart of the elf!" he commanded. The second half started and then Vanhir was brought down to the ground. Uz Gal saw his chance. His teammates stand around him, blocking the view of the ref. He drew his hidden knife and cut out the heart of the filty elf. With the beating heart he ran to High Priest To'Shi. The refs started argueing with Uz Gal, when High Priest To'Shi slammed his blessed dagger into the elven heart and spread the blood over the body of Ronin Headchopper. Finally enough lifes were taken and the transformation began. The body started to glow in unearthly shining and started to float above the ground. Burst of energy accompanying the growth of the body. Soon after, Lord Shiamoto stood on the ground again. He took a deep breath, looked over the pitch and his triumphant laughter echoed about the pitch. The match ended soon after and the Meddlers were mourning their loss. The Secret Cult started to celebrate that night. Their master was truely eternal!

1st Incarnation of Lord Shiamoto:
Shiamoto was once a man who lived in a small village near Haikido. One day, when he was on the city market, some raiders pillaged his farm and killed his wife and his beautiful daughter. Driven mad by his loss, he claimed his sword and avenged the fallen, as he killed all of the raiders at the beginning of the night.

But he couldn't find peace. So he wandered through northern Nippon and sold his blade to everyone. With the years, he became cruel and bitter....and then, at an old age, a young samurai succeeded in defeating the cruel swordsman.

But Shiamoto had risen such an anger against everything, that he had attracted a powerful demon. With his last breath, the demon offered eternity and Shiamoto willingly accepted. So he didn't die that day...

Instead, he turned completely into a powerful Oni, a demon. In his dark crusade he found some henchmen, who worship Shiamoto for his strength and will follow him to the end of the world. But now, Shiamoto wants to crush everyone on the pitch!

TEAM & PLAYER RECORDS

Replace with your own records:
The shortest player ever in Blood Bowl was Big Jobo Hairyfeet, captain of the halfling Greenfield Grasshuggers team, whose sudden and quite drastic reduction in height was the main reason for Gurk Cloud-Scraper's (storm giant half-back for the Asgard Ravens) lifetime ban.
