Inspired by a day of great open games with my Team Norbert Fish and Co I thought id write a lil fluff about them as i'm hoping to keep them going and maybe just maybe win a league with them.
Chapter one Squids debut:
As we stepped out onto the field I was nervous my first blood bowl match was moments away from starting. I looked around at my team mates Big Barnacle was just staring into the crowd at something, I followed his gaze to see the food cart doing its rounds in the stands "after the match big fella. I'll buy you a Khorne Dog." Nathan Bass said to our Ogre ally he turned to me and said "look kid its going to get hectic but you got an easy job just catch the ball that's all ok?" "Ye ok ill do it I..." I stopped before I said anything. "Nervous?" I nodded "Look you'll be fine its a chaos team sure but just dodge them and you cant go wrong ok?" I nodded again and he softened his look "Ok lets do this" After our chat I got into position and before I knew it the whistle had been blown it went bad for us fast after we kicked off we held the Beast men off for as long as we could but their game plan was to good for us and they had scored.
Before we set up to receive the kick Mr Fish called me and a couple of the guys over to him we huddled up and he told us "Alright this isn't that bad they've set up on the right side so we go left." He paused then looked at Piranah "You get up there and then Nathans gonna run up behind and take out their defender Emile you get as far up as you can then Whalemin and David will cage you got it?" He looked at me but didn't wait for a response "Sals gonna get the ball to me ill pass then you score we can eqaulise this if we work together alright!?" "YEAH!" the others cheered "Who are we?!" "FISH INC!" I joined in the cheering this time
The whistle went again and we all rushed to our objectives Nathan took out the furthest back beastman a nasty looking bugger who I could swear had talons on his hands The others caged me as planned when the enemy Minotaur got taken down by something I couldn't quite see. Mr Fish saw his chance running close to me he passed the ball I put my hands out and closed my eyes out of panic "Run Squid!" I opened my eyes and realised I had caught it! running as fast as I could my teammates shielded me some of them stopped doing that to cheer me on as I got into the endzone. The crowd erupted into cheers the feeling was euphoric that's the only way I can describe it.
Even though we lost I did manage to score a second touchdown in the end the Chaos warriors managed to knock most of us down and a rouge fan threw a rock right at poor Barnacles head taking him out the match. I myself got pushed off the field where an angry fan of the rival team decided to smash a chair over the back of my head. Still our team celebrated that night for putting up a fight nobody thought we could Mr Fish even shook my hand! I can tell im gonna enjoy playing for this team.
NOTES: I hope you guys enjoy this its based of the first match in open I played against Goodpass' Chaos team told from the eyes of debuting catcher Emile Squid. I'll be posting from time to time if I play a really fun game. Next chapter: Skaven cant pass!

Chapter two Skaven cant pass:
"It wasn't until half time when the rest of the team was in the changing room that I spoke up "Hey Squid you were doing good out there don't let it get to ya ok." I looked down at the young catcher his ankle in a cast he would be fine for next game but it was to dangerous to keep him on the pitch for today. "I'm sorry Mr Fish I tried to catch that second pass but that skaven came outa nowhere." he said trying to hide the pain he was in but wait what had he said? "Skaven? We are against Goblins my boy did you get clonked on the head by that troll?" I scanned over his head but saw no damage. "But there are rat guys there. Aren't there?" In truth I hadn't been paying attention to busy making sure Nathan was ok after he had his eye gouged. "Maybe hmmm. Im sure their nothing to worry about." Barnacle came into the room a few moments later and informed me as best as his big stupid self could that the game was about to resume.
When we where back on the pitch I did a quick scan and indeed we where against an Underworld team not a Goblin team I had thought that they had just been to stupid to bring their chainsaw today. The match was going well a few bumps and bruises but nothing we cant handle when suddenly that ugly Troll with huge claws nearly gutted Barnacle sending the ogre reeling back onto the ground. Something in me snapped I had one thought going through my mind 'Im going to knock that ugly rocky bastard on his arse' David and Anglerfish where there to back me up I charged into him screaming "VENGANCE!" with violent thoughts racing through my body I barged into him with all I had but all it did was send him back half a step. He turned his green glowing eyes looking at me. "Look out boss!" Anglerfish shouted but it was to late the Monster had me in its grips it slammed me to the ground and any air in my lungs was evacuated, despite my near unconsciousness David said something about a thrower about to pass. I thought smugly 'Ha Skaven cant pass' but then as I was flat out on my back inside a Norbert Fish sized hole I saw the ball flying over my head. I struggled to turn and see a little green git catch it and run into the end zone a last moment equaliser."
"The moral of the story class" Norbert said to the class of junior blood bowl players he was visiting as part of his Babadook fishing hook sponsors contract "Is that skaven can pass. And you should never ever take on a troll unless you outnumber it four to one." He concluded as the kids went off to play "Stirring story boss." Griswold spoke up "But what about my interception?" "Bah it wasn't that great." Norbert spat out. "Riiiiiight only got us a Touchdown ah well boss im sure that full body cast will be off soon in the meantime is it cool if we bump training?" Gris asked with a wicked smile on his face. "Of course not you Salt drinker!" The Leader shouted as he struggled to move in the cast "Whats that you say we can oh thanks boss you're the best!" The insubordinate lineman said with a voice full of sarcasm as he walked off laughing. "Griswold hey! Come back!" Despite his attempts the blond 'Salt Drinker' had ran off and abandoned him for the time being. He let out a sigh leaned back against his chair and sat there defeated.
NOTES: So long story short I was playing Ren I had a good chance to win but decided that there was no way he could pick up the ball and pass so instead I tried to take out his troll instead. It didn't work out for me. Next chapter: Goodnight Ma Friend.

Chapter three Goodnight Ma Friend: To those reading I tried to get his exact words down have fun. Griswold Salt Drinker. P.S I hate that name thank a lot boss. Da reporta lady told me te write doon whit I remumbured aboot last match bit I don't know much bout writin so Gris is done it fur me. Ehhhh we was playin the runny unz (Skaven, your welcome) and I don't right like em cause they run fore I can punch em in the face. Da Boss nearly git killed but Da apothecary (Our resident doctor octopus)used some of dem magic eels on im and he was right good after dat. Ehhh. Ummmm. The next sevral minutes went on like this so I Griswold the Handsome (Yes that sounds better doesn't it?) shall inform you of what happened quickly. The rats scored lots and we scored little it wasn't all bad at first This big lug that im writing for even knocked out that giant rat for a while but we were losing big time since none of us could keep up. Except me of course if the whole team had of been me we would of won anyway close to the end of the match things got... Dark Barnacle remembers this part it seems so ill try and con it out of him. Eh oh ye Da boss had a propa good idea see Piranah he knew how ta not let the bad rats get away from im when he threw punches so boss sent im up ta take on one of em. he beat the ratty unz up for a bit but then... Then he tripped up I ran ova to em but he wouldn't move even tho he was in a big puddle of blood I tried ta put his ribs back in right but I just got my ands stiky. Da boss told me Piranha gone to see Lil Norb I hope their still playin good I miss em both. Da ratz scored a lot but Squiddy managed ta get a score for us in the end we was all sad cause Piranha was leavin. Ehhh. Rest in peace Piranha we miss you. Notes: Suffered my first death in open against Mercy Flushes Skaven and Norbert himself nearly bit the bucket. So I'm all caught up so if anyone wants to challenge Norbert's crew just let me know. Also feel free to leave any feedback or advice for me. Or if you face of against me and think their was good moment in there that you want to put in here go ahead. Im nowhere close to a good writer but if Yall keep playing me I'll do my best to make it entertaining

Emile Squid, you should ask mister Norbert to hire another catcher. That guy can be the bait. If the opponent bites your job becomes much easier. He can also replace you if your catch fails and the opponent catches you, and their mostly brutal tackling makes you have to rest for a while. As I know you like to enter the endzone and wait for a pass I recommend learning to sidestep to avoid being crowdsurfed. They already sell chairs with your name on it. The crowd comes prepared.

Chapter four Drown yer sorrow:
A sports talk show starts playing on the crystal ball mounted on the back wall of the tavern "Welcome everyone to the Grellen Degenerate Blood Talk Show please give a big round of applause to our host: Grellen Degenerate!" The crowd cheers as a greenish orange coloured Hobgoblin dressed in a blue tunic with a loose fitting tie runs out onto the stage. "Hi Hello everybody!" The crowd once again cheers with a few chants of "Grellen! Grellen!" Grellen smiled at them and said "We got a terrific show for you tonight! Now Im gonna start of with a quick highlight reel of tonight's match which saw the Dwarfs of The Platinum Badgers take on everyone's favourite fishing empire Norbert Fish and Co!" The host points to a large crystal ball behind him and the first clip plays. Its only a few minutes into the match when Norbert passes the ball to Emile Squid a standard move for the team but as Emile goes to run for the end zone a Trollslayer from the Badgers punches him square in the gut. The camera zooms in on Squid as he lies on the ground and then shifts to the bench barley able to breath.
The second clip shows three or four dwarfs pushing a struggling Norbert into the crowd who then comically use a Squid seat to bash him over the head. A third clip shows Anglerfish the brother of Deceased Piranha have his own brush with death but then shows The teams Apothecary tending to him. Grellen pauses the montage and speaks up "Wow those were some brutal takedowns huh? THATS WHY WE LOVE THIS SPORT!" The crowd plays along with his riled up attitude "But you didn't think that was all did you? Oh no because in this match something extraordinary happened!" The Crowd of avid fans all shout "What!?" at the same time "Something incredible!" Grellen continues. "WHAT!?" "Something that you may never see again!" "WHAT!?!" "THIS" The Hobbo shouts back before unpausing the clip. It showed Norbert Throwing the ball form more than half the pitchs distance to Squid the pass looks good and the camera quickly cuts to Coach Knockout who has his hands over his eyes as he expects a touchdown. Then from out of nowhere Urthal one of the Badgers blitzers reaches his hand into the air and snatches the ball. There is a stunned silence on the pitch as the camera shows Knockoffs Jaw drop to the floor. Back on the shows set the audience is just as quiet for a few seconds before breaking into a round of applause. "GRELLEN! GRELLEN! GRELLEN!" They chant once more.
Meanwhile in the tavern: "Can we turn this shite off please?" Sal asks the barkeep from the booth he ,Griswold, Squid and Angler where sitting at. "Oi just cause you gots da Krumpin te youse good don't meen ya getz ta be Beetchin!" an angry Orc customer yelled at him from across the room. Sal went to stand his face red with fury he needed to vent some steam and that Greenskin was asking for it but before he could go anyfurther Gris and Squid were holding him down to his seat "He aint worth it man." Angler said from across the table his face still bruised from the match "Yeah chill out it wasn't our worst defeat no need to get flustered." Griswold agreed with him "and besides at least we beat the Dwarfs at the drinking contest they challenged us to" Squid said nodding towards the pile of unconscious Dwarfs Humans and one very drunk Ogre strewn across the tavern some of them lying in puddles of their own puke.'a sight that would make rotters smile' Sal thought to himself and smirked. "Aye yer right and 'sides the dwarfs shoulda known ya cant outdrink Sailors!" The booth erupted in laughter and the loss was forgotten about.
NOTES: Whew that was a long one a gruelling match left me high and dry with some amazing sights to be seen Knockoff that was a great game and I hope to play you again eventually. And Goodpass I will indeed think about the advice you gave me in all honesty I think I could of used a spare catcher this match as well.

I would buy Urthal a drink for the INT, but he's had too many already

Chapter five A dark bounty part I: The match was well under way Coach Jesters Elfhime Seahawks vs Norbert Fish and Co. After a disastrous first half for Norbert's crew things were heating up Dolpho the teams newest addition had ran in a touchdown with and now Emile Squid was poised to run in a second and equalise. Try as they might however the humans couldn't keep the Elf team pinned they dodged around under over and in a few bizarre most likely magically assisted instances straight through them. In the midst of all the chaos on the pitch Barnacle had been tripped up and been carted off the pitch blood leaking out of several areas it should not have been. Indeed the action on the pitch was so hectic and fast that nobody had noticed one of the Elf players slip a vial of some sort out of his pocket and pour the contents of it into the mouth of Anglerfish Sharkson who was lying half conscious next to him. As the game wound down half an hour after the final whistle blew as the teams (and their fans) were not done attempting to murder each other Shaunuthun walked out of the arena away from the anarchy inside. "Elfs!" he spat out to himself "I hate the jumpy bastards. Least we beat a few of em bloody." He drabbled on before pulling out a small amount of crushed warpstone and began snuffing it. "Well maybe you should try coaching an elf team and you'll get to see them beat every time they play" A voice spoke to him startling the young coach as he turned round to see who it belonged to. "of course then you wouldn't even be able to beat things down occasionally" Shaun now saw his critic it was none other than Coach Jester himself. "Very funny my friend." Shaun said softening up. He knew it was just teasing and not meant seriously or. "So happy with your win and come to invite me to the after party?" At this Jester chuckled and replied "No not quite. I just came to warn you of something. Well actually it concerns Norbert more than you." This received a perplexed look on the mutated man in front of him. "What is his company in danger cause you know that's not got nowt to do with me." "No here have a look at this." Jester pulled a sheet of paper from his back pocket and presented it to Shaun. It read: "Wanted: Players of Norbert Fish and Co dead or if possible alive." underneath the words was the teams badge a green and yellow Barracuda it then said "Quantity of Payment in Gold pieces vary on shape of the body report to the address my contacts will send to you in separate envelopes" Shaun re-read it a couple times to make sure he understood before looking at his fellow coach and asking "Was this the mercenary? Did he put a bounty on my guys?" Jester shook his head "No its not his style. I found this in the stadium changing rooms tucked away in a crack in the wall." "I've gotta warn Norbert. Somebody is out to get his crew and their all in danger while this bounty is on." "True but if you tell them they will be on constant edge. If we keep this to ourselves and investigate we can stop this before it becomes a true threat." He spoke in a reasonable voice. "Maybe you're but what can they do? if they stay here some bounty hunter will come storming in Loony's a blazing and wipe them out." Shaun seemed to calm down slightly from his agitated stance he had going on earlier. Unbeknownst to The two coaches or the rest of Norberts team the first bounty had been claimed. As anglerfish roamed through the streets looking for a tavern to ease his pain a darkness overcame him. When he opened his eyes he saw his brother but they weren't at the gates to heaven. Angler tried to scream but his vocal cords had burned thanks to the poison and despite trying as hard as he could he didn't have the strength to move a single limb. He wasn't dead yet but as he looked at the rotting corpse of his brother on the table adjacent to him and barley heard the sharpening of a blade in a nearby room he realised he soon would be. Notes: So after a mean match I fired Angler who had a injury. Consider this a sub story type thing. One that some of you lovely lads get to co star in (you wanted to be part of the story Jester here ya go ) Don't worry though cause this isn't going to replace the other styles of writing rather this is the build up to the unveiling of a new team (Quite possibly one of my better ideas) Let me know what yall think of this since its quite different from the other Chapters. Also if you don't wanna be in the story let me know but don't worry I'm not gonna be like plot twist this coach was the bad guy all along if that's what you're worried about. Hope you enjoyed this one. Next Chapter: Bones Blood and Bats.

Chapter Six Bones Blood and Bats: "Ladies and Gentleorcs please give a big round of applause to your host Grellen Degenerate!" As the crowd cheered out came the hobgoblin host this time dressed in a purple tunic with a yellow bowtie stapled to its collar "Hi Hello all you raving mad fans!" He waved to them all and sat at his desk centre stage "Today we have a pre match interview between Coaches Dragonvisper and Shaunuthun as well as team captain Norbert Fish." He smiled and signalled the crew behind him to give the all clear "So please welcome my guests tonight!" The crowd applauded as Dragonvisper walked out on stage looking as dark and graceful as only a Vampire lord could in fine black clothes and a pair of shades to boot. Behind him Shaun swaggered on set with all the grace a warped out mutant could muster wearing his usual ensemble of Cotton trousers and a Mutant Mashers jersey his trust Purple tie hanging loose around his neck. Finally Norbert came out onto the stage dressed in a simple white work shirt with dark green pants. As they sat down Grellen began his interview. "So Gentlemen great to have you on the show." "Great to be here Grellen I love your weekly Bash of the week seeing all that blood does make me peckish though." Dragonvisper said as the crowd laughed. "Well Dragonvisper I have a question for you. How do you view this match you've had quite the rivalry with this man..." Grellen paused whilst looking at the horns on Shauns head "Eh almost a man here. His team the Mutant Mashers have had your number the last couple of matches. There has to be some bad blood between you two." "Most Vampires go by the motto "The only bad blood is no blood" I have no hard feelings against my fellow coach and will play with the upmost respect and dignity." The crowd applauded and Shaun Chimed in "Of course that doesn't mean we wont be sending our lads to try and kick the shite out of each other!" At that the crowd cheered their approval and Visper smiled in agreement. Grellen now looked at Norbert and asked "Mr Fish your team have picked up quite the fanbase despite not winning any matches in Iron Phoenix. how do you think you can improve this?" "Two words Grellen: Bronze Cup" Grellen smiled gleefully at this as did many of the fans "One more question is it true that Mr Anglerfish has gone missing Mr Fish?" "I'm afraid I cant confirm or deny that Grellen." The crowd Booed in response "Aww not even a little?" Norbert shook his head despite Grellens attempts at sounding like a child "Oh alright. Coach Visper any comments to make on the upcoming match?" "Just this." He looked at Shaun and stood up "Know this. I have a tactic so cunning you shall never see it coming you shall be beaten today my friend." He walked off stage quickly leaving Shaun looking worried and the rest of the room excited for the match In the middle of the match: "NOW DO IT NOW YOU BONES!" the Vampire Coach Dragonvisper yelled. the Thro-Ra that had been left open raised his hand and passed. The humans almost started laughing as they expected to see the Skeletons arm fall off and the ball to bounce straight to their feet but this did not happen. Instead the Blitz-Ra a few yards down the field caught the ball and ran it in for a touchdown. Baffled the Humans played on but sure enough Dragonvispers team kept out strengthing them despite all attempts the tomb gaurdians would not fall before the Humans and as Barnacle had gotten lost on the way to the pitch their was none of the much needed strength on their side. The Bones then succeeded in passing not once but three more times. Even Norbert was impressed. The team managed to get a pass to Dolpho "Run!" Whalemin shouted before being tackled for the twelfth time in the match. But it was to late they had been outplayed through and through. Despite it being a loss Norbert gathered his team and went to party as nobody had been injured and the match had received good reviews he said to them as he lifted his bloodwiser ale into the air."Here's to no injuries and a great match lads." The rest of the team cheered and started to down their drinks. After the match while he was heading home Dragonvisper was approached by two cloaked figures they spoke in deep voices. "Our employer is most displeased you did not carry out their wishes Mr Visper" The duo said in unison "As such a different bounty was assigned to us." "You can tell your master that I am nobody's mercenary!" The Vampire hissed at them "If you will not see reason so be.." The one on the right paused then looked down at his stomach a knife was firmly planted deep in his belly crimson blood oozed out the side. The second of the cloaked figures went to attack the Coach but Visper being a creature of the night was to fast and stepped out of the way. Grabbing the would be assassin by the side of the head in one swift motion there was a crack and both assailants were on the floor dead as their killer walked off. NOTES: Pretty much the match was as I described no major injuries, lots of pushing and passing on the Khemri side was a well played game by Visper who got some well deserved payback on me for my treatment of his Chorfs Next Chapter: A Dark Bounty Part II.

Chapter Seven A Dark Bounty Part II: I watched my team play without me. ME! The captain of the bloody team! Sure I had bones sticking out of my hand but I could still play damn it! I watched as without me none of the regular plays worked and try as they might my boys just couldn't get the job done. The would charge at the opposition and fall over in the process, They would get into position for a good pass and then have nobody to pass to. I did enjoy watching Barnacle, Sal, and Flounder knock out at least six of the northern bastards. around two thirds into the match Sal and Vito came over and sat down next to me which was odd as the game was still going on. Vito turned to me and said "Boss we got no idea what to do out there. We throw punches they go down then they get straight back up again and hit back harder." Sal also spoke up. "I've been dodging em best I can brother but their to strong. The sooner we are out of this open league and in that Bronze cup the better." I looked at my younger brother and said "I know Sal but we need to train one more match after this and it looks like i'm gonna have to sit it out." My voice was gravely the pain in my right hand getting to me. Just as the match was winding down something went flying over my head and hit Dolpho who fell to the ground. I looked in the direction I thought it had come from and saw a cloaked figure walking quickly away from the stands. The crowd began cheering as they looked at the body of Dolpho t was still twitching and a pool of blood had formed around him. I decided to chase after the figure and worked my way through the fans dodging a couple of drunken swings aimed at me. As I began to catch up the unknown man turned to face me. most of his features were covered by the cloak but I could see grey hair coming out of it. "What was that about? I mean just cause you aint a fan of my team dosent give you a right to kill my teammates!" I shouted at him. He growled at me. and took a step forward but before he could touch me another figure had slammed into the side of me knocking me into a wall which I hit my head on as I slumped to the floor all I heard was "Good players don't stop playing Norbert.". When I came through Griswold and Sal were just turning the corner but upon seeing me Gris yelled "Boss!" and ran over to my side. "Boss Dolpho didn't make it and Doc Octopus is nowhere to be seen even Jasmine Jellys missing." I looked up at him as he told me about my missing employees. "Lets get out of here I don't want to be in this place in case those two thugs come back with their friends." I said as I dusted myself of and left meaning those words. Hudds office: "So my money will arrive here soon? Good tell your master that another Norbert Fish player is dead and awaiting him alongside some other employees of Mister Fish." The Wight nodded at the Coach and walked outside. Hudd walked over to his window and looked at The Norbert Fish side leaving he almost pitied them but it would be one less player in his way to claim a fourth title." Elkor take the crab and load those bodies into our employers cart would you." The Norseman nodded and left as Hudd thought about why someone was so eager to get their hands on these bodys. NOTES: I got destroyed against Hudd and a rock killed Dolpho! After I tried to keep Norbert in the match. Lukily for me the story has been set up for such a thing. One more match in open and then its time to take on Bronze so where will this Dark bounty take us? Well theres always next season to find out

If you want your final training game to be a less 'physical' affair I have wood elves and skaven in need of games. Well technically the woodies need cash, not games....they're still broken from a previous league.
