2009 Hallowe'en event

Introduction
The 2009 Hallowe'en event was released on Monday 26 October 2009. It was called "Web of Shadows" and it took place in the Grim Reaper's house. A portal appeared south of Falador, and east of Rimmington, at the same location it was in two years ago, in the 2007 Hallowe'en event. The portal led to the house of the Grim Reaper. The player had to complete a quest called The Web of Shadows

The Grim Reaper's House
The aim of the event was to spin webs around the house of the Grim Reaper, Death. First, talk to the Grim Reaper. He will tell you he has a spider in his bath, and wants it removed. Go upstairs and talk to the spider. He will tell you, on one or two word answers, that the Spider Queen has sent him, and that he will only move if the spider queen tells him to. Go down and report to the Grim Reaper. He will create a web-like portal for you to teleport to the Land of the Spiders. Enter it, and you will find yourself on the first floor of a four floor Dungeon.

First Floor
On the first floor, is a small unstable web. You have to find a way to the middle. Click on the web you want to walk to. Note: There is only one way, and the way is different for all players.

Second Floor
On the second floor is an Agility style level, with stuff like monkey bars and things to swing from. You have to get to the Ladder on the northern-most web.

Third floor
After that is the third level, where you can find the Spider Herald. She will tell you (after some dialogue) to go and talk to the queen spider. Climb up the ladder to the fourth floor, and the queen spider.

Fourth Floor
The queen spider will then explain, and tell you that you should go downstairs and collect a companion to help you. She will give you a spider called Eek. Return to the grim reapers house, and tell him of your adventure.

The Grim Reapers house (again!)
Talk to the grim reaper. He will ask who your friend (the spider) is. It will say "Eek!". The grim reaper with then think it finds his scary, and will ask you what its name it. You should reply "The spiders name is Eek!". You will then have to explain that to get rid of the spider, you need to spin webs and make his house look spooky again. He will then give you full permission the spin webs in his house. You will need to spin 64 webs to finish the quest.

Trivia

 * Eek the Spider can be put in menagerie.
 * When talking to Eek the spider about are you scared of spiders, if you choose yes he changes his name to "Eek the eightlegged mouse".
 * Within the first couple of minutes on the log-in conformation screen, Eek the spider could not be seen and the spider was invisible.
 * Although it is the 2009 Halloween Event, it still appears as a quest in the journal and not the usual "Special Event" section. This is probobly because there isn't a quest to go with it like with most years.
 * The name of the Halloween event, Web of Shadows, may be a reference to the Spider-Man video game of the same name.
