Swept Away

Swept Away was released at the same time as the 2008 Hallowe'en event.

Walkthrough
Players may begin the Quest by speaking to Maggie, the travelling witch who is located south of Falador and east of the Crafting Guild. She wants your help to finish her super brew in her cauldron, because she can't leave her sick ox alone. She needs you to get her broomstick enchanted by her three friends, Hetty, Betty, and Aggie.

While doing the quest you will face three puzzles.

Hetty at Rimmington
Speak to Hetty in Rimmington. She can make some broom ointment for you, but she needs a newt to complete it. She will tell you to get a newt from her basement.

Go to the trapdoor south of her house and enter. Talk to Gus who will give you a Newt label, a Toad label and a Newts and toads label. You must put these labels on each of the 3 boxes correctly. Each combination is different for every player, so it is useless to ask somebody else where the labels belong.

To solve this problem, first search the box that is labeled with both newts and toads. Keep in mind that all of the boxes are mis-labeled, so you can assume that this box will not be the one containing both newts and frogs.

Place the correct label based on the creature pulled out of this crate. For example, if you pulled out a toad, then that box may be labeled toad therefore exterminating the toad possibility. Using this knowledge, you can put the Newts and toads label on the crate that claims to be the other kind of creature.

The final crate should be labeled as what you pulled out of the first crate, but you know that isn't correct. Instead, but the final label on this crate.

If you make a mistake, Gus will let you know and you can start the whole process all over again until you get it correct. Go back up to Hetty and she will give you some broom ointment in a vial that you can "use" on the broom to infuse it with Hetty's magic.

Betty at Port Sarim
Speak to Betty in Port Sarim. She will tell you to talk to her assistant, Lottie, who is in her basement. The goal here is to open a chest that contains Betty's magical wand, but you have to fix the menagerie of animals before that can be done.

Keep in mind that the animals can only be moved from one cage to an adjacent cage, and that you can't have two animals in the same room at the same time.

To start, move the Blackbird to the holding pen. Now, take the Rat and move it into the Blackbird pen. After that, move the Spider to its own pen. Then, put the Reptile into its own pen. Next, move the Rat into its own pen. Finally, take the Blackbird from the holding pen and put it back into its pen. Now, go talk to Lottie. After that, click the chest, open it and search it. Now you have Betty's wand! Go upstairs, speak with Betty and she will enchant the broom for you.

Aggie at Draynor
For this part you will be sweeping up some sand. If you do this correctly you should end up with four triangles, two on top and two on the bottom. There are various other ways to do it also. Please refer to one of the images below for an example of where to sweep.

Trivia

 * On the day of the Quest's release, the spoiler page said, "The spoilers are too afraid to show themselves today. Maybe they will be feeling braver tomorrow... "
 * This was the first holiday quest.
 * When viewing the slate, the blackbird pen says "raven". Most people think this is a typo, but actually Raven is another name for blackbird.
 * This was the first quest that is temporarily available for free to play users. For the duration of the Halloween event, anyone can do the quest; after that, only members can.
 * The broomstick is actually the 2nd place of the Guaranteed Hallowe'en Poll for the 2007 Hallowe'en event, where it and the Reaper Hood was very close to the end. The broomstick in the poll said the broomstick would be used to fly around and hover on.
 * This is the only way to obtain a broomstick.
 * During the time of the release Jagex decorated Draynor, Port Sarim, and Rimmington for the holiday. Some of the decorations were  Giant Jack-o-lanterns, Giant glass lanterns, and skeleton themed banners.

 * Wendy is also the name of Casper's witch friend.
 * The Ancient Pine trees, in the area in which Aggie teleports the player to, are the same as the animated trees in Neitiznot.
 * When talking to Maggie, you have an option to say "Your house appears to be on wheels.", that is a reference to "Wily on Wheels" meme on Wikipedia.
