2007 Hallowe'en event


 * This is a 'safe' event, if a player dies, items are kept.

The Hallowe'en Event of 2007 was a holiday event which took place from October 22, 2007 to November 5, 2007. The Grim Reaper's servant just recently passed away, and now he is looking for a temporary replacement to make sure that his terrifying Mansion of Death is in good order to receive his new servant. During the event, players are given three tasks by the Grim Reaper to help clean up around the Mansion of Death.

A player can start this event at the black Player-Owned-House portal south of Falador, near the elemental wizards and Malignus Mortifer. See the holiday event icon on the world map and minimap. When they get near the portal, the screen gets darker. There is no need for items or food throughout the event and although it is possible to die instantly, there is no loss of items.





Walkthrough
If players leave during any task, they will be forced to restart that task. When restarting the player will appear just outside the Dark portal.

Players enter the Dark portal to start. Then they talk to the Grim Reaper sitting on the east side of the entry room. If players try to go through the doorway into the house without first talking, they will be zapped with electricity for all their hitpoints, dying safely and keeping all their items and reappear at the portal entrance. (Grim Reaper: You may be able to wander around other people's houses, but I shall not allow it.)

After talking to the Grim Reaper and accepting to help him, players will be allowed to pass through the doorway. (Message: You safely pass through the gargoyles' judgement. and Gargoyle: We're watching you...)

The first task is in the garden, trying to go into the west room will activate the electric trap to take player back to the portal, once again instantly killing the player (Message: You fail to pass through the gargoyles' judgement). Also, going up the stairs is not allowed. (Grim Reaper: Don't go gallivanting around my house. Come and see me if you're not sure what to do.)

Players could interact with the Grim Reaper's pet Muncher in the main room. Only one emote will lead to success to the second task, one is nothing, the remaining one causes 'sudden death' and restarting. Players can try out all three emotes at this stage.



Garden of Deathly Shadows
In the garden, players are asked to retrieve the skull of his old servant so that the new one doesn't know what happened. Players must navigate back and forth through the maze by going through spider webs. Players will not be able to climb over every web to make navigating through the garden more challenging. The path is different for every person and going in isn't the same as leaving. When player leaves the garden, the gargoyles will take the skull from the player and the Grim Reaper will direct them to the west room lounge.

Lounge of the Reaper of Souls


In the lounge, players are asked to find certain personal possessions for Grim and put them in their proper spots. First search the table to get The grim reaper's diary in the inventory, then read the diary to find out where everything goes. ''You find a diary on the table. This should give some clues as to where items within the room should go. Trying to get another copy of diary: You already have a copy of the diary, you don't need to take another. When task is done: There's no need to search the table any more.''

Once players gather these items, they must put them back in their proper locations. In the diary, the items and where they should be are coloured in red.

Below are the list of items players have to find:

Searching the fishtank has 2 options:
 * Towards the right - obtain human bones
 * Towards the left - animation of fish jumping out of tank into player's eyes - Arrghhh! My eyes!

Searching the sofa has 2 options:
 * Under the cushions - obtain eyeball
 * Under the sofa - ghostly hand reaches out under the sofa - That wasn't such a good idea. [[Image:Grims hand under sofa.PNG]]

Trying to leave the house before finishing this task will give the message: Any items you were carrying from the house have been removed.

Playground of Solitude and Lost Toys
After finishing the lounge task, the Grim Reaper will tell you to proceed up the stairs. The go through the doorway to the southeast. In the playground players are asked to check if his traps are in order. Players must:
 * slide-down on a slide,
 * step-on 4 springboards to get thrown across dark holes,
 * swim through acid and exit on ramp and
 * navigate an area with hidden pitfall traps.

They will have to do this area twice. Although it is unknown, when done in the German server this course has to been done but once.

Players should be extremely careful when navigating around the hidden traps near the end of the maze, as if they step on a trapdoor (You accidentally trigger a trap.) they will have to start the entire course over again. If players look closely on the ground in the trapdoor room, they can see some perforated lines. (Grim Reaper: Look closely and you should see the joins of the doors on the ground.) These lines are traps so players should avoid them at all costs!

Another way to pass the trapdoors is to run, making the shortest and fastest route from the entrance of that section to the doorway.

If a player tries to go backwards on the springboard, the Grim Reaper will say: There is no going back, mortal.





Reward
After completing this event players will receive:
 * a Grim reaper hood,
 * the zombie hand (Green hand comes out of the ground) emote, and
 * the scared emote (if they didn't already have it from previous years).

Music

 * Scape Scared (from 2005 Hallowe'en event), opening music at login screen; unlocked for all players after Tutorial Island.
 * Grimly Fiendish

Other

 * This is the only holiday event that can actually kill players(safely), one way is from choosing the "blow a raspberry" option while interacting with Muncher (grim reaper pet) and another way is to speak to the Grim Reaper after all tasks are complete to claim the reward. Once players receive it, they will die and placed outside the house (players do not lose any items during the event). Other ways to die are to enter a room at the wrong time or denying the Grim Reaper of help. However this way of "dying" does not cause the player's health bar to turn red. Also, a player can be hit for higher than 99 by drinking a saradomin brew and then "dying".
 * Players cannot re-enter the area after completing it. You've no need to return to the Grim Reaper's house.
 * Walking near any of the torches will cause it to go out for a few seconds.
 * The grim reaper's diary cannot be taken out of Grim Reaper's house while doing the event. When player completes the event, player cannot reenter the house. Currently, it is not found in the bookcase of a player-owned house.
