Sumona



Sumona is a non-player character found in the north of Pollnivneach, in a house south-east of the Magic carpet transport spot. Talk to Sumona to begin the Smoking Kills quest.

After players complete the quest, Sumona reveals herself to be a new Slayer master. She also explains about the Slayer reward points obtained for each slayer assignment completed. She gives 12 points for each task, 60 points for every 10th task, and 180 for every 50th task completed.

On the interface for NPC Contact, her skin is lighter and her hair is blonde.

Jesmona
Jesmona is supposed to be the twin sister of Sumona. However, after the Smoking Kills quest, players learn that there is no such person called Jesmona, and that Sumona and Jesmona are one and the same. This is revealed by Catolax in the Desert Slayer Dungeon, after the quest in the final cutscene. He further explains that Sumona and Jesmona are, in fact, a manifestation of Amascut, the Devourer. However, due to the fact that during the quest Amascut promised the player a reward, she is forced to act as a new slayer master after the quest is complete. (It is also possible she is simply sending the player on slayer assignments in further attempts to get the player killed. Slayer assignments may also be win/win for her as the player slaying causes destruction, and the player dying gets her revenge.)

Assignments
The following are all the possible assignments a player can receive from Sumona:

NOTE: Slayer masters assign higher-levelled monsters more frequently if the player's combat level is high.

Slayer Challenge
After a player has performed several slayer tasks for Sumona, she will occasionally offer a special task in place of a regular slayer task. The player can decline to take the special task without penalty. If the player accepts the special task, completing the task:
 * Earns 15,000 slayer experience.
 * Earns 30 Slayer reward points.
 * Counts as a task for the player's consecutive task count, thus 12 slayer reward points are received, giving a total of 42 points.
 * Depending on your task count, you can get more points. If this is your 10th task, you will receive 60 slayer reward points. If this is your 50th task, you will receive 220 slayer reward points.

Sumona's special task is for the player to slay the Kalphite Queen. The queen is very hard to kill solo, and players on this task can be assisted by another player. However, the player it is only credited with completing the task if the player causes the majority of the damage to the queen, and also Coinshare/Lootshare MUST be turned OFF. Note: The Slayer helmet does not seem to work for the queen's second form.

Trivia

 * When the player asks Sumona, "I have some questions about your sister and the smoky dungeons," Sumona responds at one point saying, "Am I my sister's keeper?". This is referring to the Biblical story of Cain and Abel, when Cain says "Am I my brother's keeper?" when God asks him where Abel had gone. (As it happens, Cain had murdered Abel)
 * It is impossible to move the curtains (which act as the door) in her house; the message which appears while trying to do so says that a mystical force keeps them from moving, and Sumona gives a "knowing smirk". (It gives this message even if the player has not started Smoking Kills; She is then not even present in the building)
 * Sumona likes to add small comments after her message if you ask for tips; eg: for fire giants, she claims they "tell tales of your weakness", and after assigning banshees, she says you should help and silence their annoying cries.
 * You can't see Sumona unless you have the required skills (not combat level) for doing her tasks. Once you speak to her using the NPC Contact spell, you will be able to see her even when you don't have enough combat level or skills for the quest.
 * The Slayer master Lapalok was for some time called "Disciple of the Devourer". Interestingly, her disciple has a higher position as a Slayer master than herself. However, with Sumona being incognito it would make sense that she put an underling in a higher position so as to further protect her true identity.
 * She has red eyes, most likely a by-product of her being a manifestation of Amascut.
 * She will refuse to talk to you if you have a pet cat following you.
 * It's interesting to note that Sumona uses the old walking animation.
