The great orc shaman
Gazhalskul was one of the greatest shamans to ever
play for an orc team. Unfortunately, during the final
match in the Blood Bowl Cup, Gazhalskul’s spells
went dreadfully wrong. Shooting the lightning bolts
at random from the great Waagh power that overwhelmed
him, the entire stadium was destroyed and most of the
occupants were killed in the resulting devastation.
The only thing that was left of the old shaman was,
oddly enough, his skull. Charged with magical
energies of the Waagh and the countless years of
Blood Bowl experience, the skull was a prize to be
had by any team. Over the years the skull was lost
many times and has become worn and polished from use,
but its magic is still as potent as ever. Though the
skull is now the prize in its own tournament, many
fans stay away from the game and watch the happening
from their crystal balls, or read about it on the
fence posts the following day. This is largely due to
the way in which the old shaman died.
The winning team gains
20,000 gp for winning and the losing team gets 10,000
gp, in addition to the normal winnings for the match.
Any team that holds the skull can use its powers once
per season. Instead of rolling for a skill, a player
may use the skull and pick any skill as if he had
rolled doubles. The skull cannot give any physical
mutations or stat increases (meaning that beside
removing a negative skill, it cannot be used further
on a Big Guy to add to his ST or AV). The skull will
remain property of the winning team until the next
Orc Skull Tournament comes around (up to four seasons).
