First off - Are we ok to host this kind of thing? If not then feel free to lock. :)

This is kind of a trial but if people are interested enough I'll keep doing them.

Anyway onto the competition - Simply write a short story. :P
A couple of rules though:
• Each entry should only be 1 forum post in length.
• The story should work with the title given, in some way.

The closing date for entries is the 1st of February. A prize will be awarded to the winner.

The title for your short stories this time is:

The fall of Lumbridge.
Check out Thieves guild layout redesign. Happy ‘scaping

The fall of Lumbridge


Chapter one: the cabbage party.


Barbarian Village. New Year's Eve. Time to celebrate!

To Wilderness, every barbarian! Way to celebrate!

White dot on minimap! Attack!

Got him! Loot: 1 000 000 noted cabbages.

1 000 000 unnoted cabbages. Varrock bankers like: "What? We didn't know barbarians are vegetarians."

Nor did we, but it's our loot! Way to celebrate!

The loot must be eaten! Cabbage feast! Way to celebrate!

Yuck! The cabbages rotten? Varrock bank not used to such large exchanges?

The cabbages rotten! Don't eat!

Too late. All gone. 1 000 000 cabbages.

Stomach hurts! Sick! Ill!

Diarrhoea...

Not here! To the river...

Full load...

River Lum is starting to change its colour to brown. Water level is rising rapidly.


Chapter two: the fall of Lumbridge


Meanwhile, Tom5454 and Cool guy18 are enjoying the nature and chatting while fishing in Lumbridge.

Cool guy18: Fishing level?
Tom5454: 22
Cool guy18: Nice. I'm 37.
Tom5454: Oh, wow! Nice, man!
Cool guy18: Thx. Lobbies soon :)
Tom5454: I'm still fishing trou... wait, do you hear that?
Cool guy18: Yeah! What's this smell?
Tom5454: It's a massive flood! Run!

They have only taken a few steps when Doomsayer realises what's happening:

"You are going to die! We all are! I was right, always, and no one believed me!"

Soon they fainted. So did everyone else around there because of the smell.

No one could do anything. Lumbridge was covered by... the water... of River Lum. Doomsayer's prophecy was fulfilled. This was the fall of Lumbridge.

Death and Destruction plagued the lands of Gielinor.

A new race of monstrous creatures plagued the lands, striking and killing everyone in sight. Their main target, Grizapaeh, their diety, buried deep under the Lumbridge castle well before the first God Wars had begun.

The monstrous creatures, known as Grizpaes were both intellectually and physically well-versed. They carefully well planned out their tactical strikes against the people of Misthalin.
The strongholds of the Adventurers, generals of the forces, were built alongside river beds, with the largest stronghold built by the river of Lum.

This time, the Grizpaes planned accordingly. With the strength of the adventurers concentrated alongside the riverbeds, the best way to destroy them without being seen, wouldn't be from the rivers, or anywhere else for that matter. Instead, from the root of the problem itself.

So one day, the attacks stopped. The Grizpaes let the adventurers and people of Misthalin believe they had won. Funerals raced across the lands, each stronghold praying for their deceased, in hopes their spirits would find rest.

The grizpaes plan had come to fruition. Their tactical assault was ready.
In the morning of the fifth day of the Grizpaes leaving, the second attack had begun. Legions of the Grizpaes struck, with deadly force. Each bringing down hordes of unprepared soldiers. They murdered relentlessly.

A group of Grizpaes had different orders given to them. They were the diggers. Near Lumbridge, the only place unguarded was the core of the swamp. And that is where they were, after descending down the caves, they went to the location where they felt their god's energy at its strongest. After hours of relentless digging, the managed to do it. They struck deep, and in front of them, the living body of Grizapaeh, in all its glory.

In the coming days, the entire world had fallen, starting with the origin point. They lost only because of
