'''Agidad''' the '''Talent scout''' is the person who recruits people to visit [[The Pit]], an [[Agility]] [[Distractions and Diversions|D&D]]. After a number of laps at any agility course (except the [[Burthorpe Agility Course]]), he will call you and a flashing green arrow will appear above him. Talking to him with free hands and no [[familiar]] results in him making you look and knocking you in the head (whilst laughing, which is voice acted) and teleporting you away. But, if you don't talk to him within a minute or so, the Talent Scout will lose interest and your opportunity will be lost. The beating won't reduce your health, and for practical purposes it is simply a fancy teleport to The Pit.

If wearing an [[Agility cape]], [[Max cape]] or [[Completionist cape]], a player can talk to the Talent scout at any time to be transported to The Pit. A small amount of experience will still be rewarded, but it cannot be gambled. The [[gorilla mask]] can still be obtained as well.

But, if you don't talk to him within a minute or so, the Talent Scout will lose interest and your opportunity will be lost. The beating won't reduce your health, and for practical purposes it is simply a fancy teleport to The Pit.
