Chapter II
Growing and Learning
The barbarians were still attacking with artillery and random groups to push us back. We were all tired. A person died in the battle. I got his rune scimmy. I asked the shopkeeper what it was. He said it was one of the most powerful swords all in Runescape. I wanted to wield it but I could not. I did not have the right to. Therefore, I trained my attack until it was 40 on groups of barbarians. I was tired like crazy. The medic said I should get some rest, but I could not so I had to sit out on the next group of barbarians. And on the next group, I fainted. "Boom, boom, boom!" I saw shots flying over my head they were heading for the castle of Varrock. The castle was hit. Everyone woke up. We all got up and put our armor on. But suddenly my friends and I were hit, I was the hit the worst, the cannon call severed my right arm. They asked if I could fight, I said yes, but I knew in my heart I would die. So then, I joined the rangers for today. I fired volleys of arrows until my arm was feeling better. Then I found one thing on the ground. A whole set of 25 darts. They were sharp. I threw them; they did a lot of damage. But my arm was not feeling good. So I took a rest. I ate lunch in my break. I went to the east bank and got a swing of apple juice that I crush from an apple with my friends war hammer along with five loafs of bread to share with my friends. My friends wanted wine more than juice so they bought their own drinks. We all unpacked in a nice quiet spot near the east of Varrock and ate while talking about different things we saw. When we were done, we all tried the glory charge with us four and another friend called Bufub.
Delta Formation
We all ran at the barbarians slashing our way through many followers and other barbarians. Many other people were already there taking down barbarians and other obstacles. We formed in a delta to charge at the cannons. We killed at least 20 by now. We destroyed the cannons and forced the barbarians back to their village. Our last target was Edgeville. We went to a house nearby and stayed there fore rest and a base. My friends and me camped out south and drank wine and water and talked about barbarians and made jokes though the night when most of us fainted or slept when they were too drunk or just out of fatigue. I was worried. We were near the barbarian's campout and if we were seen, we were fresh meat for them. I just simply went to sleep (after putting out the fire) hoping that no barbarian saw us camping out near his or her land.
Fourth Day
Edgeville problem
The generals of combat were discussing a problem. My friends and I were made generals for starting the glory charge and all. The problem was that there was no easy way to get to Edgeville. The simplest way was to go through barbarian village but it was too dangerous. The alternative route was to go into the wilderness but players in the level range of the wilderness combat area could attack lower and higher players. The next rout, which was the hardest was to go on river Lumbridge straight up too Edgeville. The last and final route is the best but the riskiest. We had to go through the giants' lair and a path filled with hobgoblins and zombies. The next step is to come out in the edge of Edgeville. This caused a problem because we would enter their territory. We had a vote. Many people chose to go up river Lumbridge. It was decided the leading archers would be put on the edges of boats to take down barbarians and any enemy. High-level shield-men were put in the front to dodge cannon balls and make space for the archers to shoot. The high-level shield-men were also used to protect against throwing axes and knifes. The cannon balls were dodged by having the shield-men use there war hammers to smash the artillery fire. As we were going up river Lumbridge, we prepared our self. As we were going to Edgeville, we saw that our way was blocked. The barbarians use their ships to form a wall to prevent us from going. My friends and I had an idea. We asked how tough the ship was. I wanted to smash straight through the ship while firing artillery to make the ship weaker and easier to bash through. My plan worked. We bashed though the ship and went straight to Edgeville. The battle was tough the barbarians had mostly berserkers. Their archers were good also. We had never experienced barbarian archers but they were strong. Their problem was they had almost no armor. They had some leather and that was it. We also met one more unit. This was there strongest unit. The barbarian thrashers. These spent no time playing with here enemy. They just thrash there way to our base. We kept off most of them but it was still hard to keep them from going deep. I had to say they did a nice job on protecting Edgeville. This was the only time we had a fair battle. In addition, we were losing, bad. More ships were ordered to come up river Lumbridge but by the time, they reached us. I was the only one left that was in sheer sight. All my friends were recovering and getting food. When they came back, I was nearly owned. Finally, the ships were there. We had reinforcements and we were winning. I was proud for this battle. All the survivors got their name in the history books. This battle is called the saga of Edgeville, barbarian village war.
