Rick Turpentine



Rick Turpentine is a former highwayman. To atone for his past actions, he may give you a couple coins and a random food or valuable item (i.e. kebab, ruby) If you ignore him, he will attack you with a crossbow while taking your coins. You know he wants you when he appears and says, "Greetings, milord !" if you are male, or "Greetings, milady !" if you are female.

If players log out whilst Rick Turpentine is their random event, he will exclaim "What a dismal little spot this is" and disappear. Rick was one of the random events that was retired on 25 February 2009, but can still be seen in the Port Sarim Jail along with Cap'n Hand. If you kill the mugger in his jail, he will cheer and say 'Hahaha! Thanks!'

Possible rewards

 * Coins (up to 640)
 * Spinach rolls
 * Kebab
 * Uncut gems (Sapphire, emerald, ruby, or diamond.)
 * Cosmic talisman (m)
 * Half of a key (m)

Bugs/glitches
Having a summoned familiar that can attack (Such as a Bronze Minotaur), and in a muticombat area, it is possible to actually kill Rick Turpentine, but he does not drop anything and has no death animation. This also happens to the Drunken Dwarf, and Cap'n Hand random events.

Trivia

 * Rick Turpentine's name and career as a highwayman is probably derived from a factual character known as Richard Dick Turpin. Dick Turpin was an English highwayman in the past.
