Stellarstomp ReviewFor those of you who don't already know, StellarStomp is Stellarstop's brand new Boss Fighting Clan.
This Saturday we had our first StellarStomp Event ever; we went to Bandos Godwars! It was a pretty fun experience even though we didn't get many good drops and ended up getting crashed by some sad high levels. The funny part was when I accidentally clicked the door early and had to get my kill count all over again >.>. We probably would've stayed longer if we weren't crashed since we had a lot of supplies + fruit bats.
AchievementsSurf killed Nomad!
Dylan also killed Nomad!
Asmih got 82 attack and 76 defence!
Dylan got 90 farming!
Flames got 98 strength!
Kate got 89 agility!
Harley achieved the "pro" status!

QuoteI tried, I failed, I flirted
-Chance Rawr
Interview with KieranI have tracked the rare and elusive "Kieran" and have bribed him to answer some questions
Q: Is it true that you got a job?I study full time at University, so I don't really have much time for one of those 'job' things, although I have been known to work full time during my holidays.
However, I do like to think that my job during the semester is to patrol the banks of RuneScape.
Q: Do you have any big plans for stellarstop (That you can reveal of course )?So many that I couldn't count them on three feet (maybe on four though).
This week we are launching StellarStomp, our Boss Killing Sub-Clan, led by Antony and Jesse, which is going to be very exciting.
We plan to have a MASSIVE Stellarstop Easter Event this year too.
The Stellarstop Newsletter continues to get better and better, and I can see it growing insanely fast in the future.
Oh, and we're playing around with podcast type things too.
Oh, and the Custom Stellarstop Signatures.
And of course, that's just the plans which aren't secret
Q: How's the merchanting going?It was going pretty good until I stopped - I was averaging somewhere around 1.5mil profit a day which wasn't too bad for about 5 minutes of work. In the following 2 weeks since I stopped, I've somehow managed to lose around 20mil.
Just last night I sold my bank and bought a Santa Hat, and now I only have like 5mil cash left
Q: How do you feel about the growth of Stellarstop so far?It has been nothing short of astonishing - while most of the clans around us have shriveled and died, we've just continued to grow! The Clan Chat continues to be active - even during school terms, which is something I had completely not expected. We've been lucky in that aspect to have such an amazing community; we certainly wouldn't be where we are today without all of your help.
As impressive as our growth has been so far, really this is just the beginning of a legacy for us.
Stellarstop has so much potential that it even scares me at times. We continue to grow in RuneScape at an exponential rate. Every week I see lots of new people in the Clan Chat - it's crazy.
Not only that, but our growth is going to be EXPLOSIVE when Stellar Dawn comes out, making our growth now look almost pitiful in comparison. I'm not even kidding - our clan is set to become one of the biggest (if not the biggest) in existence
Hopeful? Yes. Impossible? No way.
Q: Who's hotter, Kesha or Taylor Swift?Taylor Swift
Q: Who's songs are better, Kesha or Taylor Swift?That's a tough one - to be completely honest, I haven't really listened to much of either. I couldn't even compare them really.
Q: If I were to post "Lolololol" in every category on the forums, what would happen? (as in make a new thread for each.)Lolololol. The world would probably be a much funnier place. Other than that, I'd probably have to send Antony after you in his ROFLcopter to hunt you down and confiscate your keyboard.
Q: If I added a b0rg with a b0rg then subracted a waldo what would I get?Total Chaos in the Clan Chat. I suspect it would remain that way too until somebody found a way to lure the Waldo back. I've heard that they're fond of cat biscuits.
A day in the life of ChanceFor the first time ever, we show you what happens in Chance's day!
StoryThis is my story that I ALREADY SUBMITTED for the AoG story competition. I thought some of you might want to read it. I might even make a sequel every week if I have time
.
Most people think of the tower in the middle of the swamp directly to the west of Canifis simply as a defensive structure. However, I know it as something else; the lost tower.
I am James Steel, A Captain of Lord Zamorak's army. I am also an adventurer.
My mission surprised me, According to the briefing, the tower in the swamp ahead was actually an ancient temple, dating back to the 3rd age. Zamorak, Suspecting something interesting being hid there, decided to send a team to search it. My team was chosen.
"This is it...," I said.
Standing outside the temple, I prepared my team to enter. Seeing the temple up close was simply stunning. It seemed to be covered with mysterious carvings and was huge.
As we walked in, We stood there dumbly, completely stunned by the huge cavern in front of us, In fact, Huge didn't even begin to describe how big it was. We were completely dwarfed by the space in front of us. The cavern didn't seem to have any obstacles on the way to a door on the other side of the room.
"This is going to be easy," a werewolf said.
He simply began to walk to the other side of the room despite me ordering him to come back. He only got about a couple of steps when suddenly a crossbow bolt flew out of the wall and impaled his head killing him instantly. No one spoke for a full minute.
Deciding I would have to disable all of the traps, my team slowly progressed along the room. We lost several men to the deadly traps. When we finaly got past the room, we came to a room even bigger then the one before. It was so big, It contained its own temple. We progressed through the temple looking for traps but strangely there were none. As I reached the temple, on the altar I saw a strange book. The cover said "Magic of the Third Age". I opened it and saw amazing spells. I knew this was an amazing find so I picked it up and prepared to return and bring it to Lord Zamorak. However, as I turned around, I saw at twenty of my men pointing crossbows at me and another ten pointing crossbows at my men.
"You shall not leave this place with the knowledge of these spells alive Captain Steel"
