Dealing with Scabaras

High Priest

 * Talk to the high priest in Sophanem (the temple west of pyramid) who'll request help with identifying a corpse.
 * Go upstairs. Continue conversation, and find out that the corpse is not quite dead.
 * Talk to the not so dead Maisa. She mentions that there are tunnels from east coast of the desert that lead into those from Sophanem.
 * Go downstairs and talk to high priest to get his support for the mission to explore these tunnels.
 * Go south-east from the entrance to Sophanem, through the lizards and vultures, and down to the swamp area. Make your way through here until you come to a crumbling pillar. Climb over it and talk to the archeologists at the camp.

Artefacts

 * Answer their questions and you will find you need different items to give to Simon Templeton. These are: One artifact from the top of the agility pryramid, 10 gold artifacts from pyramid plunder mini-game and a number of distressed bronze items. The bronze items are different for each player and include 2-handers, medium helms, kiteshields, square shields and daggers. They must be distressed by using camel dung whilst you are standing in the desert. Only one bucket of dung is required.
 * You must give all of these items to Simon Templeton. Note: He will only take the pyramid plunder items as a whole (all 10). Simon will accept each of the group of items separately. The golden agility pyramid artefact requires climbing to the top of the pyramid using the climbing wall just before the top.
 * Simon will then give you a Artefact receipt then head back to the archeologist site.

Taking Notes

 * Obviously, there is more work involved: gather some notes for the archeologist and copy them into a notebook. These notes can be found on the corpses of the undead creatures and scarabites noroth of the archealogist camp (east of sophanem).
 * When all notes have been gathered talk to the archeologist again. They will give you the key to the dungeon. Head north to enter the dungeon.

Dungeon Puzzle

 * Enter dungeon and talk to the golem to learn about the puzzle that needs to be mastered. There are four rooms, each with a lever at the far end.
 * each room contains a lever that needs pulling.
 * there is a time limit within which all levers need to be pulled.
 * the door mechanism is powered by a furnace. the furnace lights automatically. higher level logs require a higher firemaking level. magic logs require 95 firemaking to be used in the furnace. Using higher level logs may increase the time to solve the puzzle. There is a collection of three logs in the room, but it would make sense to bring some of your own.
 * talk to the golem to assign priority to the four rooms
 * room 1 requires crossing an oily pipe (agility)
 * room 2 requires pulling a stuck lever (strength)
 * room 3 requires slaying a scarab (combat)
 * room 4 requires solving a puzzle and manipulating a mechanism (thiefing)
 * Depending on your skill set, set the priority and race through the rooms.
 * The puzzle in the fourth rooms is nerve recking.

Trivia
'Alas, the scarabs have eaten the scroll with the rewards. You'll have to wait until tomorrow for us to find the spare.'
 * The lead archeologist remarks on how she would not want to 'have a ghastly death marked on a makeshift grave', refering back to the recent update of gravestones.
 * When the quest first came out the spoiler said that:
 * There was a mistake for the level entry where it said you need a Agility level higher on the main website, but in the quest journal it was 5 levels lower.
 * Originaly there was a mistake on the website saying that you now had acces to a new slayer monster.
