Highwayman

The Highwayman is a level 5 NPC that players can attack. These highwaymen will attack players up to level 6 or 7, and may prove a challenge to new players who are just passing by. When they first attack, they shout "Stand and deliver!".

Like other attackable NPCs, they are not aggressive at the players who have a combat level of 20 or above. It is possible that some highwaymen were created to stop bots and macroers. Highwaymen can be deadly to new players trying to get to Draynor village and Falador.

Highwaymen appear to wield some type of steel sword. They wear black capes and highwayman masks. Even though highwaymen wear highwaymen masks, players cannot obtain them as a drop.

Trivia

 * "Stand and Deliver!" is a reference to the fact that highwaymen used to shout "stand and deliver".


 * On 8 April 2009, Highwaymen got a graphical update. Their original look was just Shirt, Pants, a black cape and a Highwayman Mask. Some also had hoods.


 * There are two highwaymen that look like the old style with the pants and shirt. They are located at the 4-way crossroad of Draynor and Draynor Manor, and the T-junction going towards the Crafting Guild, Rimmington and Port Sarim. However, Jagex probably did this for variation between the Highwaymen.


 * Malignius Mortifer, the dark mage who wanders around below Falador summoning various fungi and evil beings, sports a cape that is dropped by Highwaymen after they are defeated.
