Cryptic Clue Fest II

The Cryptic Clue Fest II is a puzzle-solving event held in a similar nature to the original Cryptic Clue Fest. It was released on August 20, 2010. Clues are revealed on the Cryptic Clue Fest II thread on the RuneScape Official Forums and image hints are revealed on the RuneScape Facebook Page.


 * An NPC clue points to the NPC players need to talk to.
 * These are revealed by the NPCs that take part in the event.
 * An item clue reveals the items needed to bring to the NPC.
 * These clues are released on the official RuneScape Forums by Jagex Moderators.
 * Noted items can NOT be used.
 * EXACT number of items has to be in the inventory. Any more or less will not work.
 * Players may also have other items in their inventory alongside with the required ones.
 * The NPC does not take the items, only look at them.

Players can proceed one stage of the event once a day, as soon as the new clues are released. They can choose to do all the clues on the final day. Players wishing to complete this task, however, must visit each of the NPCs in this mini-quest in the order that the clues were given. Attempting to skip ahead will simply get NO response.

Scrap 1

''..also features more displays on our rich history. Resident art critic Jacques is particularly proud of our rare painting of King Lathas of Ardougne! So whether it is part of an educational visit, a daytrip around the City of Varrock, or to make substantial donations, please don’t hesitate to visit us! ''

The first parchment seems to have been torn out of some form of advertisement for something.

Scrap 2

''Skyward hall of forgotten ages, 11 treasures stand in barless cages. Find included some calculus expounded, Compare conclusions with tables founded.

Two of Treasure 1: X + (6x6) = 48 Five of Treasure 2: Y + (65/5) = 60 Eight of Treasure 3: 3Z + 51 = 150''

''Note: Due to a slight oversight, non-members cannot access the location to solve this clue. However, Mod Mark H has posted a numbered layout to help solve this clue on the forum.''

Forum clue
...The Museum felt like a different place at night, the suits of armour stood like silent guardians warding against trespassers like myself and the full moon outside cast long shadows from the various display cases creating a labyrinth of shadows.

The clues in the statuette my contact as fiercely protected had led me here, and soon I had found what I was looking for; two tiles hidden in different places.

As I moved to a window to get some proper light, I heard footsteps from the nearby stairs. I leaped behind a display case to hide, peeking out slightly to see who was there. A figure in a dark cloak and hood appeared, I could see that they had a wicked looking dagger in their hand and they were scanning the room looking for something...no, not something, someone.

The figure moved closer and closer, I knew if I moved they would hear me and weaponless I wouldn’t make it to the exit, I was trapped. Then I heard another set of footsteps enter the room.

A flash of green light, a cry of shock and somebody falling down echoed in the room, leaping from my hiding place for the door I saw the hooded figure snared on the floor, a young girl with a handful of runes and a red hat stood by the door.

“Come on!” she shouted at me “We’ve got to get out of here before that spell wears off!”

We ran, bursting through the back door of the museum and making our way through the alleyways of Varrock till we reached a half-built house.

“We should be safe here for a moment, you need to figure out the next puzzle quickly!” the girl told me in gasped breaths.

I pulled the tiles out from my pouch and examined them;

Each tile featured a separate logic puzzle.

Image hint
The image hint will be revealed soon on the RuneScape Facebook Page.

Trivia

 * On the second day, the Y and the Z in the formula was originally posted as YX and ZX, which confused many players.
 * On the second day, free players were unable to complete the second clue without help in some way, since the numbers in the Varrock Museum display cases were not visible in free to play. This was later fixed by a table posted on the Forums showing a table and the display case's number.
