Starting the quest[]

Talking to Crispy the Cabbage[]

  • You go to speak to the cabbage, but of course cabbages can't talk; how silly of you.

Talking to Andrew, Ian or Paul[]

  • Andrew: Who are you?
  • Player: I'm Player. I was wondering if you had any quests for me?
  • Paul: Oh, it's an adventurer, like in our game! A real one though.
  • Player: I'm not just any adventurer. I'm the world guardian!
  • Paul: I'm sorry, but I don't know what that is. It must be after our time.
  • Andrew: Anyway, welcome to the Gower Farm. I'm Andrew.
  • Paul: I'm Paul, and this is our younger brother Ian.
  • Ian: Hi!
    • So about that quest, then?
      • Paul: Well you see the problem we're having is: we're cabbagemancers, right? But our cabbage patch has stopped working!
      • Player: What do you mean it's stopped working?
      • Paul: Well, no matter what we do, no cabbages are coming out of it.
      • Player: Did you rake the plot properly?
      • Andrew: Yes.
      • Player: Did you put compost down?
      • Andrew: Yes.
      • Player: Did you plant the seeds?
      • Andrew: Yes!
      • Player: Did you water them?
      • Andrew: Yes! We have successfully grown cabbages in the past you know.
      • Player: Sorry, that's the extent of my farming knowledge.
      • Paul: Well that's your quest! Find out why the cabbage patch isn't working!
      • (Quest noticeboard opens.)
        • Accept Quest
          • Andrew: We've had word from other cabbage enthusiasts that it's been affecting their farming patches as well.
          • Player: Do you have any suggestions?
          • Paul: I have one.
          • Player: What is it?
          • Paul: The cabbages! They must know all about where cabbages come from, if you ask them maybe they can help?
          • Player: That sounds easy. What's the catch?
          • Andrew: Do you know how to speak cabbage?
          • Player: No...
          • Paul: That sounds like your first challenge then.
          • Player: What should I do?
          • Paul: I could explain to you at length the tasks you need to perform, and have you report back to me after each stage so that I can give you the next one...Or we could just let you figure it out for yourself.
          • Andrew: I think it would be more fun to let you figure it out. Quests are better that way!
          • Ian: Don't wander too far though. Everything you need should be on the farm.
          • Paul: This is exciting! A real quest! Off you go!
          • Ian: Come and talk to us if you want to know more about what we do!
        • Not Right Now
          • Paul: Oh. Come back if you change your mind.
    • Can you tell me more about what you do here?
      • Ian: We're cabbagemancers extraordinaire!
      • Player: What's a cabbagemancer?
      • Ian: A cabbagemancer is a wizard who specialises in the magic of cabbages.
      • Paul: Like how necromancy is the magic of necks and pyromancy is the magic of pies.
      • Player: But what do you do specifically?
      • Andrew: We're making a new world! A world of cabbages, where the magic of vegetables never ends!
      • Player: A new world? How are you doing that?
      • Andrew: I use cabbagemancy to grant sentience and mobility to the cabbages.
      • Paul: I use storytelling to weave an imaginary world for the cabbages to live in.
      • Ian: And I create props and scenery to bring those stories to life!
      • Player: What's this world called?
      • Andrew: Well, it's a landscape filled with cabbages, so I named it... Cabbagemud!
      • Player: Cabbagemud? Not... Cabbagescape?
      • Andrew: It's quite a muddy landscape.
      • (Shows previous options.)
    • I didn't want anything else.

After accepting the quest[]

Talking to Andrew[]

  • Andrew: Hello again.
    • Can you help me with the quest?
      • Andrew: Didn't I say it would be better to figure it out for yourself?
      • Player: Yes.
      • Andrew: Good. Quests are better that way. Besides, you have your quest journal.
    • Can you tell me more about what you do here?
      • (As before.)
    • I didn't want anything else.

Talking to Ian[]

  • Ian: Hi.
    • Can you help me with the quest?
      • Ian: I could, but it would spoil Paul's quest. He's very keen on people figuring things out for themselves.
      • Player: Oh, go on!
      • Ian: No, I can't. Sorry.
      • (Shows previous options.)
    • Can you tell me more about what you do here?
      • Ian: I create props and scenery to bring Paul's stories to life.
      • Player: Why?
      • Ian: To make their world more immersive. I've always enjoyed helping my brothers with their experiments. Before we created Cabbagemud, Andrew and I built a castle for the cabbages to live in.
      • Player: What happened to that?
      • Ian: It worked quite well, but we've had a lot more success with the free range cabbages. We even tried sending some of the cabbages into space.
      • Player: That sounds exciting. How did that go?
      • Ian: It never really took off.
      • Player: ...
      • Ian: I also have a special version of Cabbagemud I play with some of the older cabbages. They aren't happy with some of the recent changes and prefer the way it used to be.
      • Player: Do you ever not think about cabbages?
      • Ian: Yes. Sometimes. Okay, maybe not. Nobody really quits Cabbagemud.
      • (Shows previous options.)
    • I didn't want anything else.

Talking to Paul[]

  • Paul: Hi there, haha.
    • Can you help me with the quest?
      • Paul: Well I could, but I think it would be better if you figured it out yourself, haha. I've run this sort of thing with lots of cabbages, and what I've found is that the more information I give them up front the less interested they are. The ideal balance is a limited area with a specific objective and the freedom to experiment. So enjoy!
      • (Shows previous options.)
    • Can you tell me more about what you do here?
      • Paul: I'm making up this game so the cabbages don't get bored! They pretend to be heroes and then I tell them a story about a situation they're in, and then they tell me what they do, and I tell them whether it worked. I call it 'rollplaying' because the cabbages have to roll themselves in order to determine the outcome.
      • Player: What's the story about?
      • Paul: Well the god of balance, Brassica Prime, banished the lesser gods from the world of Cabbanor long ago.
      • Player: Brassica Prime? Lord of all cabbages?
      • Paul: Yes, he's a character I made up.
      • Player: But Brassica Prime is real!
      • Paul: How fascinating! You seem unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Perhaps there is a king of cabbages, that makes sense, but no god.
      • Player: Oh...
      • Paul: Anyway, while Brassica Prime slept, the immortal, alien Rutabagarat came to Cabbanor from another world! Their devious schemes still threaten to undermine all of cabbagedom. My latest quest is called 'Ritual of the Rutabagarat'. The heroes have revived Neepanadra from his long slumber, but will Luswedien use the power of the Stone of Yams to become a god? And what part have the mysterious Carrotkin to play?
      • Player: This all sounds very exciting!
      • Paul: It is, but I'll be honest, some of the cabbages don't really care about the story. They just want to roll around and get experience points. But for me the story is where the REAL magic is. It transforms this simple farm into an incredible world where anything can happen. The cabbages can be heroes. They can be anything. Sometimes I think it's a better world. Better than this one.
      • Paul looks lost in thought.
      • (Shows previous options.)
    • I didn't want anything else.

Making a cabbagespeak amulet[]

Searching the crate inside the farm house[]

  • You find what appears to be a piece of pure essence, but perhaps it's an upside down rune?

Searching the food trough[]

  • You dig around in the trough and find a tough, stringy broccoli root.

Searching the scarecrow[]

  • You find a strange, cross-shaped amulet frame, sort of a cruciferous mounting.

Searching the water barrel[]

  • You find a single, solitary Brussels sprout, perhaps left over from Wintumber celebrations past.

Using the broccoli root on the Brussels sprout, cruciferous mounting, pure essence or life rune[]

  • The broccoli root isn't much use in this form.

Spinning the broccoli root[]

  • You spin the broccoli root into a string.

Using the broccoli string on the cruciferous mounting[]

  • The mounting has no, um, 'gem' in it yet.

Using the broccoli string on the Brussels sprout, pure essence or life rune[]

  • The broccoli string should be attached to the amulet.

Using the broccoli string on the Brussels sprout[]

  • The semi-precious sprout has no mounting yet.

Using the Brussels sprout on the broccoli root, broccoli string, pure essence or life rune[]

  • The semi-precious sprout has no mounting yet.

Using the cruciferous mounting on the broccoli root, broccoli string, Pure essence or life rune[]

  • The mounting has no, um, 'gem' in it yet.

Using the Brassican amulet (unstrung) on the broccoli string[]

  • You add some broccoli string to your brassican amulet.

Using the pure essence on the Brussels sprout[]

  • There's something strange about this pure essence.

Using the pure essence on the broccoli root, broccoli string, cruciferous mounting or Brassican amulet[]

  • Nothing happens, but you feel this essence is important. Perhaps you need to look at it closer?

Flipping the pure essence[]

  • You turn the pure essence over and see a strange symbol engraved on it. Could this be a legendary life rune?

Using the life rune on the Brussels sprout, broccoli root, cruciferous mounting or broccoli string[]

  • It's not the right time to use the rune yet.

Using the life rune on the Brassican amulet[]

  • As you add the life rune to your amulet it transforms from a brassican amulet into a cabbagespeak amulet.

Talking to Andrew, Ian or Paul[]

  • Player: I made a cabbagespeak amulet!
  • Paul: Excellent! Have you tried talking to the cabbages in the field?
  • Player: Not yet.
  • Paul: That does seem like the next logical step!

At the Gower Farm[]

Talking to Crispy the Cabbage[]

While not wearing the cabbagespeak amulet[]

First time[]
  • The cabbages are hopping up and down and seem quite animated.
  • From its proud and authoritative bearing, this cabbage seems to be in charge.

  • Cabbage: PEDEE HAY!
  • Crispy the Cabbage: Eddo ba de gum?

    • Crispy the Cabbage: When be of want?
    • Bouncing cabbages: Right of now!

Receiving pink partyhats[]

Talking to Andrew, Ian or Paul[]

  • Paul: How are you getting on?
  • Player: I spoke to the cabbages. They're rioting because they want party hats.
  • Andrew: Party hats? What?
  • Player: You know, paper crowns like the ones you get in crackers.
  • Andrew: But that makes no sense. Party hats are just worthless pieces of paper.
  • Ian: Oh, you need party hats?
  • Player: Yes!
  • Ian: You're in luck, I have some right here. What colour?
    • Blue!
      • (Continues below.)

  • Ian: Here you go!

Talking to Ian[]

  • Ian hands you a small stack of cabbage-sized partyhats.

Wearing a pink partyhat[]

  • You start to put the partyhat on and then you imagine the sad faces of the 4 cabbages in the field. With a sudden wave of guilt, you lower it from your head.

Talking to Andrew, Ian or Paul with the pink partyhats[]

  • Andrew, Ian or Paul: Go on, take those party hats back to the cabbages. I can't wait to see what happens next in this quest!

  • Player: Well, so I don't get confused, and therefore frustrated, and give up partway through the quest...

Outside of the Dwarven Mines[]

Talking to Crispy the cabbage in your inventory[]

  • Crispy the cabbage: You needs to be of finding way out! Be looking around.

Searching the table[]

Before receiving the rock[]

  • You search the table. Someone left their pet rock here!

After receiving the rock[]

  • There's nothing on top of this table, not even a pet rock. Maybe there's something under it?

Looking under the table[]

  • You look under the table and find a basket filled with oranges.
  • Do you want to take an orange? Yes, it seems so.

Searching the scary wispy thing[]

  • You reach up, then quickly pull back scared. It feels like a spider web, and it felt like there was something large still in it.

Searching the unusual shape[]

  • Moving your hands over it, it feels like a skeleton. It seems to be missing its head.

Searching the wall[]

  • A non-descript bit of wall. High up, you can feel the edges of some sort of depression, but you can't quite reach it to feel what it does.

Using the rock or orange on the bumpy wall[]

  • You lovingly rub the object over the bumpy wall. Feel its texture. Yeah, that's nice. Mmmmm.

Using the rock, orange or tinderbox on the unusual shape[]

  • You put the item on the skeleton for a head, but it doesn't really look very good so you take it off again.

Using the orange on the rock[]

  • You place the orange on the rock, making a sad little excuse for a modern art sculpture.

Using an orange on another orange[]

  • Now kiss.

Using the orange on the scary wispy thing[]

  • This orange is too wet to light.

Using an orange on the wall[]

  • You throw the orange - it hits the depression in the wall but isn't heavy enough to do anything much.

Eating an orange[]

  • You find a small key at the center of the orange. It tastes bitter so you spit it out.

Using the rock on the orange[]

  • You place the rock on the orange, making a bold statement of modern art worth bils.

Using the rock on the scary wispy thing[]

  • No.

Using the rock on the wall[]

  • As the rock hits the depression in the wall, you hear a grinding as if something just opened.

Searching the bumpy wall[]

  • You run your hands along the bumpy wall. You feel a hole in one of the grooves about the size of a key.

Using the small key on the orange[]

  • This orange isn't locked.

Using the small key on the rock[]

  • You place the key under the rock, hence mastering the basics of rural home security.

Using the small key on the scary wispy thing[]

  • You need to do something with this key, and you need to do something here, but not that.

Using the small key on the unusual shape[]

  • Your own 'skeleton key' joke here, but nothing interesting happens.

Using the small key on the wall[]

  • This isn't a bit of wall with an inexplicable keyhole in it. Perhaps you meant a different bit of wall?

Using the small key on the bumpy wall[]

Before using the rock on the wall[]

  • You lovingly rub the object over the bumpy wall. Feel its texture. Yeah, that's nice. Mmmmm.

After using the rock on the wall[]

  • The panel slides back to reveal a tinderbox with a quest icon embossed on the lid, which you take.

Using the tinderbox on the orange[]

  • The orange is too wet to light.

Using the tinderbox on the scary wispy thing[]

  • You reach up with the tinderbox and set the cobweb alight.
  • A skull falls from the cobwebs as they burn away.

Talking to the skull[]

  • A moan escapes from the skull. Despite making a single syllable noise, it sounded like it said it would reward you if you reunited it with its body.

Using the skull on the bumpy wall[]

  • Your own 'skeleton key' joke here, but nothing interesting happens.

Using the skull on the orange[]

  • The skull isn't hungry. Or injured.

Using the skull on the tinderbox or scary wispy thing[]

  • Flaming skulls are nice and metal but won't help you here.

Using the skull on the wall[]

  • You hold up the skull so it faces the wall. If skulls could shrug, this one would mock you.

Using the skull on the unusual shape[]

  • You return the head to the skeleton. As you do it crumbles to dust and a voice seems to hang in the air.
  • Lloigh-Enn: RuneScape is loading - please wait... Welcome to RuneScape[sic]

Talking to Crispy the cabbage in your inventory[]

  • The cabbage has fallen asleep in your backpack. Best leave it alone for now.

Entering The Gate of Lloigh-Enn[]

  • Screen fades to white and then returns; you are in a lighted area standing before Thordur at his desk.

Talking to Thordur[]

First time[]

  • Thordur: Hm... hello? I wasn't expecting anyone today? Welcome to Behind the Scenes.
  • Player: Welcome to where?
  • Thordur: Behind the Scenes [laddie/lass]! RuneScape's home away from home.
  • Player: I don't understand...
  • Thordur: Ah, your first time here is it? Don't worry, we'll soon geet you sorted out. So which is it? Graphical rework? Dead content? Were you killed off in a quest? Or are you unreleased content?
  • Player: I'm not any of those things. I'm an adventurer.
  • Thordur: Oh, right, well look, I have to put something in the box. It's for record-keeping, see, so just pick one.
    • I've been graphically reworked.
      • (Continues below.)
    • I'm dead content.
      • (Continues below.)
    • I was killed off in a quest.
      • (Continues below.)
    • I'm unreleased content.
      • (Continues below.)
  • Thordur: I see, I see. Very good. Well, if you'll step on through you can meet the others.
    • Wait... but what is this place?
      • Thordur: It's Behind the Scenes!
      • Player: -PLACEHOLDER- hilarious placeholder dialogue here[sic] Wait, what? Why did I say that?
      • Thordur: It's the editing. There's no one checking the dialogue, so you just spew any old rubbish.
      • Player: -PLACEHOLDER- the player still doesn't understand[sic] Yuck! That feels horrible!
      • Thordur: Don't worry, you've probably gotten it out of your system now. You may still find yourself saying some pretty weird things though!
      • Player: So... what is this place?
      • Thordur: I'll break it down for you. You're from RuneScape, right?
      • Player: I'm from Gielinor.
      • Thordur: Sure, big rebranding exercise, world building, but same thing. Sometimes in RuneScape things change. People change how they look like. New stuff appears. Old stuff disappears.
      • Player: I've never noticed this happening.
      • Thordur: You're part of the system, see, you don't see it happening. Take Rat Pits, you remember Rat Pits?
      • Player: No. What's Rat Pits?
      • Thordur: It was a minigame, and it was broken, and no one played it, so it got removed. Now for you it's like it never existed.
      • Player: But what does that have to do with this place?
      • Thordur: Well when something gets removed from the world, or before it gets added, this is where it goes. We call it Behind the Scenes. Look, just think of it as like the afterlife. Afterlife-slash-theme-bar.
      • Player: So it's full of dead people?
      • Thordur: Close enough. You go on in. You'll either figure it out or go mad from the trying.
      • (Shows other options.)
    • Off I go, then.
      • You teleport away, into the Behind the Scenes pub.
    • I'd rather stay here for a bit.

Afterward[]

  • Thordur: Well go on then. You don't want to wait around here, do you? It's just a mostly featureless room.
    • Can you explain this place again?
      • Thordur: It's Behind the Scenes!
      • Player: -PLACEHOLDER- hilarious placeholder dialogue here[sic] Wait, what? Why did I say that?
      • Thordur: It's the editing. There's no one checking the dialogue, so you just spew any old rubbish.

At the Behind the Scenes pub[]

Talking to Apropos[]

  • Apropos: This is absurd!
  • Player: What is?
  • Apropos: I'm the wrong colour!
  • Player: What do you mean?
  • Apropos: This is clearly just Hannibus's character model! They didn't even bother to recolour it!
  • Player: Maybe you and that other guy whatsisname[sic] just look really similar? It's not like the humans in this game are that distinct from each other.
  • Apropos: Wrong! It's obvious from canon that Ilujanka have widely varied patterns and colours on their skin, and the chances of Hannibus and Apropos looking identical are so remote as to be practically non-existent! Besides, Apropos is female and most races in RuneScape are highly sexually dimorphic. And why am I carrying a lance? I'm in a drinking establishment! This is an unacceptable lorefail.
  • Player: I'm going to walk away now.

Talking to Clawdia[]

  • Clawdia waves a massive claw at you in cheery greeting, but she never had a chathead built so she can't speak to you. She eats a peanut instead.

Talk to creature[]

  • Creature: not done[sic]
  • Player: Sorry, what?
  • Creature: waiting to be done[sic]

  • Lucien: That too, man!

Talking to man[]

  • Man: Please don't kill me.
  • Player: How could I do such a thing?
  • Man: You adventurers are capable of far worse.
  • Player: No, I mean, your Attack option isn't set, so I couldn't attack you even if I wanted you, or even by mistake when I meant to pickpocket you.
  • Man: Don't pick my pocket either!
  • Player: You also don't have a Pick-pocket option, don't worry.

Talking to Mod Raven[]

  • (Before unlocking the Ravensworn title:)
    • Player: Hello, Mod Raven. Can I get the Ravensworn title without searching the elf city?
    • Mod Raven: Too much effort? Well I suppose I could spread my ravens around a bit.
    • Player: That's not what I...
    • Mod Raven: There shall be one thousand ravens! Each appearing one thousand days after the other!
    • Player: This is just getting silly now...
    • Mod Raven: It will take you centuries to find them all! AHAHAHAHAHAA[sic]
    • Player: Yeah, whatever. Bye.

  • Sueros: Totes.
  • Player: Can you give me an example?
  • Sueros: Well, you know how like,[sic] in your world everything fell apart when that nasty old Zamorak betrayed and murdered Zaros?
  • Player: Vaguely yeah.
  • Sueros: Well in my world, when Zamorak confronted me, I just like,[sic] pulled out my guitar and totally shredded this sweet solo which made the very earth bleed simultaneous tears of joy and sorrow. Then me and Zim-Zam hugged it out, and me, him and Azzy have been best bros ever since. Consequently, my totally sweet empire never fell, and as a consequence the people of my world live in like,[sic] complete peace and harmony and stuff.
  • Player: Why are you here then?

  • Player: What's that?
  • Sueros: Well like,[sic] the heart of drama is conflict, right? Anticipation, tension, confrontation, resolution, right?
  • Player: I guess.
  • Sueros: And like,[sic] being totally perfect and a genius and everything, there just isn't really any conflict in my world, and hence, no drama.
  • Player: You're saying you're bored?
  • Sueros: Well like,[sic] I'm a great writer and stuff, so I can like,[sic] keep people entertained with my amazing plays and novels and stuff, you know, so there's that. Sometimes though, you've just got to keep it real, you know? Like in my world, no one ever dies or suffers or like,[sic] is even slightly uncomfortable in any way. Here though, it's like a total disaster like,[sic] *all* the time. It's very entertaining!
  • Player: I'm glad we amuse you.

    • The operator looks pointedly over to where Araxxor is trying to order a drink at the bar.

    • Player: I honestly can't tell which are which, then.

    • Jessika: I'm not the Underworld Jessika, I'm the alive Jessika who isn't alive.
    • Player: Wate wut.
    • Jessika: When you make a choice, it changes places and people, yeah? So the world's got to know which of us to show you when it's showing one of us alive. And in the Underworld it's got to know which of us to show when it's showing one of us dead.

    • Korasi: When you make a choice, it changes places and people, yeah? So the world's got to know which of us to show you when it's showing one of us alive. And in the Underworld it's got to know which of us to show when it's showing one of us dead.
    • Player: ...okay...

Talking to Vorago[]

  • Vorago: Hoooom.
  • Player: Are you pretending to be an Ent?
  • Vorago: I... talk... very... slowly...
  • Player: You're not skinny enough for an Ent. Besides, Mod Osborne made us take out all explicit references to that film about the one ring... you know?
  • Vorago: That one about the lord and the giant well of lava and throwing it in?
  • Player: Yeah that one!
  • Vorago: Oh, okay, fine. How are you, Player?

First time[]

  • Spiral Orb: Hey you!
  • Player: What?
  • Spiral Orb: I know why you're here. You've noticed the cabbage patches aren't working, and you've traced the problem to here.
  • Player: How could you know that?
  • Spiral Orb: I watched a walkthrough video. Anyway, hi, I'm Spiral Orb, welcome to the Behind the Scenes pub!
    • What's up with the cabbage patches?
      • (Continues below.)
    • Have we met before?
      • Spiral Orb: I don't think so.
        • (If you did not participate in the 2009 Hallowe'en event, 2010 Hallowe'en event, and/or 2011 Hallowe'en event:)
          • Player: Oh, I must have you confused with someone else. Weird that I'd bring it up.
          • Spider Orb: So anyway, what were we saying?
          • Player: Cabbage patch.
          • (Continues below.)
        • (If you participated in the 2009 Hallowe'en event:)
          • Player: You're Minstrel Web, you did that sweet set at Death's house a few years back!
          • Spiral Orb: Oh snap, no way! Did you see me there?
          • Player: Yeah, but you were a bit terse with me, to be honest.
          • Spiral Orb: Oh I am so sorry. I was in such a mood that year, nothing to do with you.
          • Player: So you're calling yourself Spiral Orb now? You seem to be talking a bit differently too.
          • Spiral Orb: Oh, yeah, that. I was a bit tragic back then, wasn't I? So anyway, what were we saying?
          • Player: Cabbage patch.
          • (Continues below.)
  • Spiral Orb: Oh yeah, that thing with the thing. I'll tell you what I know. Something is wrong with the life altar.
  • Player: The life altar?
  • Spiral Orb: Yes, the life altar in the basement.
  • Player: The legendary life altar is in the basement?!
  • Spiral Orb: Yes, in the basement. Problem is, it's broken. It exploded or something. The pieces flew everywhere. I've heard a few people talk about seeing the pieces around.
    • What can you tell me about them?
      • Spiral Orb: Okay, you'd better write this down.
      • Player: Actually I never write anything down. My quest journal just seems to remember everything for me.
      • Spiral Orb: That's handy! How does that work?
      • Player: I have no idea! I think it might be space magic.
        • Tell me about...
          • ...the first piece?
            • Spiral Orb: There's Lucien. I think he knows something.
            • Player: Who is Lucien?
              • (Before Temple of Ikov:)
                • Spiral Orb: This is a Sixth Age quest, technically Lucien is a major part of your backstory.
                • Player: Let's pretend for sake of argument that I haven't looked up the backstory online. Could you describe him to me?
                • Spiral Orb: Tall. Skull face. Big bendy stick.
                • Player: I'm sure I'll recognise him.
                • (Shows previous options.)
              • (After Temple of Ikov:)
                • Spiral Orb: According to your quest variables, you've completed Temple of Ikov. You already know who Lucien is. Besides, this is a Sixth Age quest, so technically you've completed Temple of Ikov anyway.
                • Player: Oh yeah, Lucien. Big guy, skull face, big bendy stick?
                • Spiral Orb: That's him.
                • (Shows previous options.)
          • ...the second piece?

            • Spiral Orb: Yeah, Steve. The chaos elemental.
            • Player: Oh no, the chaos elemental?
            • Spiral Orb: You know him?
            • Player: Only by reputation. Isn't he that guy who talks total gibberish?
            • Spiral Orb: That's mean! I know he has a funny accent, but I've never had any trouble understanding him!
            • Player: Well I'll do my best.
            • (Shows previous options.)
          • ...the third piece?
            • Spiral Orb: Let me think... let me think. Oh, there's Thok.
            • Player: Thok?
            • Spiral Orb: Yeah, Thok. Big viking guy.
            • Player: What's a viking?
            • Spiral Orb: Sorry, uhh, expy viking... Fremen... Fremenuh... Fremethingy.
            • Player: Could you describe him?
            • Spiral Orb: Oh yeah. Bare chest, beard all tied up. Kind of a dish to be honest, gets all my legs tingling.
            • Player: Okay, thok you, I mean thank you.
            • (Shows previous options.)
          • ...the fourth piece?
            • Spiral Orb: There is no fourth piece. Three pieces, three people. Find them all and you should be able to fix it.
            • Player: Funny, for some reason I was expecting four.
            • Spiral Orb: Ah yes, it was going to be four, but we ran out of development time. The good news is, that's one less you have to find!
            • Player: You mean one fewer.
            • Spiral Orb: What?
            • Player: One fewer, not one less. The pieces are discrete and countable.
            • Spiral Orb: Oh whatever, Poindexter.
            • (Shows previous options.)
          • I'll look for them.
            • Spiral Orb: Good luck!
    • I'll take a look around myself.

Afterward[]

  • Spiral Orb: Hello again!
    • Can you go over the life altar thing again?
      • Spiral Orb: You need to find and return all three missing fragments of the life altar.
        • Tell me about...
          • ...the first piece?
            • (As before.)

      • Spiral Orb: I don't think so.

          • Spiral Orb: Oh snap, no way! Did you see me there?
          • Player: Yeah, but you were a bit terse with me, to be honest.
          • Spiral Orb: Oh I am so sorry. I was in such a mood that year, nothing to do with you.
          • Player: So you're calling yourself Spiral Orb now? You seem to be talking a bit differently too.
          • Spiral Orb: Oh, yeah, that. I was a bit tragic back then, wasn't I?

Talking to Crunchy or Tim[]

  • Tim: Hello!
  • Crunchy: 'Hey.'
    • Who are you two then?
      • Tim: The name's Tim.
      • Crunchy: 'And I'm Crunchy.'
      • Tim: We're Crunchy and Tim. Maybe you've heard of us?
      • Player: No, sorry.
      • Tim: We're the guys, you know, from the old website. The skeleton guy and the knight guy. You know?
      • Player: Oh, no way, that was you two?
      • Tim: Yeah!
      • Player: Were you... this tall at the time?
      • Tim: No, there was a bit of a mixup. When they did the competition for the quest rewards, one of the finalists was us as bobbleheads.
      • Crunchy: 'Can you imagine? Us as tiny little people! Crazy!'
      • Tim: They drew up some concept art of it so that people would see how amazing we would be.
      • Crunchy: 'But we still didn't win!'
      • Tim: When it came to our models being made, the bobblehead concept art got used by accident. So that's the story of how we ended up two feet tall.
      • Crunchy: 'It sure is a sad story.'
      • Player: So what do you do here?
      • Tim: We're environment leads!
      • Player: What?
      • Crunchy: 'He said 'we're environment leads'.'
      • Player: What is an environment lead? Is that some sort of petrol pollution thing?
      • Tim: Not L-E-D lead! L-E-E-D lead! Lead, as in, leader!
      • Player: Oh sorry, it can be difficult to tell without voice acting. What does an environment lead do?
      • Tim: Environment artists are a kind of videogame modeller who build the world. See this place? Environment artists built it. They built all of RuneScape, in fact.
      • Crunchy: 'Out of sweat and tears.'
      • Player: Cool!
      • Tim: Our job is to tell the environment artists what to do.
      • Crunchy: 'It means we're real good at building stuff and breaking it down again.'
      • Player: So you're a bit like construction foremen?
      • Tim: That's exactly right.
        • (Shows previous options.)
    • Hey, what's new?
      • (Tim and Crunchy may randomly say any one set of the following:)

Talking to Guthix[]

  • Guthix: Can I help you?
    • Oh my - you're Guthix!
      • Guthix: Oh lord, it's a [fanboy/fangirl].
      • Player: Guthix, it's so good to see you again.
      • Guthix: You do realise Guthix is JUST a character?
      • Player: What do you mean?
      • Guthix: I am an actor. Guthix is just a character that I play.
      • Player: But-
      • Guthix: This is why I just hate doing genre work. The fanbase takes their fictional worlds much too personally and seriously. I never should have taken the role in the first place. I am a classically trained thespian! I believe I was only cast as Guthix due to my appearance. I fear I have become typecast; it is quite impossible to find work elsewhere in Gielinor now.
      • (Shows previous options.)
    • Can you help me fix the life altar?
      • Guthix: Is it a problem which can be solved with superb acting sensibilities and gift for evoking pathos?
      • Player: Er, not really.
      • Guthix: Perhaps another can help you with your task. The chaos elemental, perhaps? I believe his name is Steve.
      • Player: Thanks.
      • (Shows previous options.)
    • Goodbye.

Talking to Romeo[]

  • Romeo: 'A lovestruck Romeo sings a street suss serenade...'
    • That song sounds familiar.
      • Romeo: I've been down here since 2010 and I still haven't gotten used to it.
      • Player: Gotten used to what?
      • Romeo: All the references. Up in RuneScape there are loads of references all the time, but no one ever talks about it.
      • Player: Oh yeah, didn't they remove you from the game because you were too blatant a reference?
      • Romeo: Yes! Down here though it's all pop culture all the time.
      • Player: Why do you think there are so many references in the game?
      • Romeo: There's two good reasons and one bad one, I reckon. Good reason one is to show respect for a source of inspiration. All art is imitative, and a well-placed reference acknowledges that fact without disrupting the flow of the work.
      • Player: Oh, like homages?
      • Romeo: Yes, exactly. Good reason two is to create a sense of camaraderie with the audience. Including a reference signals to the audience that the author shares their life experiences and loves all the same things.
      • Player: What's the bad reason?
      • Romeo: When it's used as a substitute for actual content. Using a lazy reference because you couldn't think of a line yourself is as bad as using a cliche. One other important thing is, the perfect reference is visible to those who get it, but invisible to those who don't.
      • Player: Hm?
      • Romeo: If it's obvious that it's a reference but you don't know what it's referencing, that makes you feel excluded from an in-joke.
      • Player: You must hate this quest then!
      • Romeo: Yeah...
      • Player: You've put a lot of thought into this.
      • Romeo: Surprising, isn't it? I'll be honest though, on any other subject I'm still the same randy old dog as always.
      • (Shows previous options.)
    • Can you help me fix the life altar?
      • Romeo: Oh no, I couldn't possibly.
      • Player: Oh, well, thanks for nothing then.

Talking to Sphenischev[]

  • Sphenishchev: Hello again, tovarisch[sic]
    • Wait, have we met?
      • The penguin sighs deeply.
      • Sphenishchev: This is not first time we have had this conversation and it will not be last.
      • Player: Oh, who are you?
      • Sphenishchev: I will tell you once again, only because I have nothing better to do with time. My name is Sphenischev.[sic] I am, or was, agent of KGP. Its finest agent. Not only for considerable skill at infiltration and safecraking, but because I possess very unique capability.
      • Player: What is that?
      • Sphenishchev: I have rare condition called oblituritis. It means no one can remember interaction with me.
      • Player: Ah, that sounds useful for a spy!
      • Sphenishchev: It was, until fateful day.
      • The penguin gazes into the distance.
      • Sphenishchev: It was 28th January, 2009. I was peacefully doing job of spying, when suddenly adventurers pour from every crevice of landscape! Unable to remember interacting with me, they spot me over and over and over again! So humiliating! The worst abusers were banned, of course, but it was too late for me. I was exiled here because I was 'glitchy'. My very greatest strength had become my greatest weakness. That is my story, friend. Take what you will from it.
      • Player: Have we met? Who are you?
      • Sphenishchev: *sigh*
      • (Shows previous options.)
    • Can you help me fix the life altar?
      • Sphenishchev: I know of this thing of which you speak, but I am afraid I cannot help you. Have you tried speaking to Thok? He has beard.
      • Player: Is the beard relevant?
      • Sphenishchev: I do not know. I am penguin. Beards are mystery to me.

First fragment[]

Talking to Lucien[]

  • Lucien: Oh hey man, what's up?
    • We need to talk.
      • Lucien: Do we know each other?
        • (Before Ritual of the Mahjarrat:)
          • Lucien: Do we know each other?
          • Player: Well, according to my backstory, you're like some kind of ultimate villain or something, but uh, I don't really remember any of that.
          • Lucien: Oh hey, Sixth Age blues, man? I feel you.
          • Player: Sixth Age?
          • Lucien: Sixth Age, man. It's like a philosophy. It means the past is the past. Live for the now. Hakuna matata. Carpe diem. YOLO. Forgive and forget. You know what I mean?
          • Player: I think so.
          • Lucien: That said, you really should complete Ritual of the Mahjarrat.
          • Player: Oh yeah?
          • Lucien: Yeah! I mean a lot of players still consider it RuneScape's best quest. The sheer scope of it as a storyline is just unprecedented, man. It defined a generation. The requirements are a beast but hey, it stars yours truly in his finest hour, so I'd say it's seriously worth the grind.
          • Player: Alright, thanks for the recommendation.
          • Lucien: No problem. But hey, enough about me.
          • (Shows previous options.)
      • After Ritual of the Mahjarrat:
        • Player: Know each other? You killed my friends!
        • Lucien: When was that, man?
        • Player: When you stole the Stone of Jas and tried to use it to become a god!
        • Lucien: Oh, you mean in Ritual of the Mahjarrat?
        • Player: And While Guthix Sleeps, you monster!
        • Lucien: You remember what happened at the end of ROTM?
        • Player: Of course I do! Your arrogance brought down the wrath of the dragonkin!
        • Lucien: Haha, yeah! That scaly dude was all in my face, and I was all like 'Oh no, get it off, urgh, I'm dead!' Good times!
        • Player: Good times? My friends are dead!
        • Lucien: Nah, you're looking at it all wrong! It ain't like that down here.
        • Player: What do you mean?
        • Lucien: Well I'm dead, right?
        • Player: Yes.
        • Lucien: But here we are talking!
        • Player: Yes...
        • Lucien: Up there, it's all a game, man. Nothing but a game. A fretful hour and all that Shakespeare and all that. Down here, death don't mean nothing. I wish I could introduce you to Hazelmere, he'd tell you.
        • Player: Hazelmere's alive?
        • Lucien: Yeah, well, no. I mean it's complicated. He was here for a while, and we were buds, man. I mean we were tight. We used to hit up TDs together and all that. Shoot some pool. Clean torstol. Good times. Then he got a part in Nomad's Elegy, so now he's technically dead, except, you know, he's back in RuneScape so maybe he's, you know, kind of alive in a way? I dunno man, I just miss him, you know? Now I have to clean torstol by myself. Me, I don't think I'm going back. Mahjarrat got no afterlife, see, on account of being divine, so if I'm dead, I'm dead. No takesies backsies.
        • Player: I see.
        • Lucien: Besides, it's the Sixth Age now, right?
        • Player: The Sixth Age?
        • Lucien: Sixth Age, man. It's like a philosophy. It means the past is the past. Live for the now. Hakuna matata. Carpe diem. YOLO. Forgive and forget. You know what I mean?
        • Player: I guess.
        • Lucien: Hey good for you, man. But enough about all that old stuff.
        • (Shows previous options.)
  • Can you help me fix the life altar?
    • (The first time:)
      • Lucien: You're trying to put the life altar back together?
      • Player: That's right! That's just the sort of thing I do.
      • Lucien: Well you're not going to believe this, man. I had one of the pieces right in my hands, but then I lost it.
      • Player: You lost it?
      • Lucien: Well, I say lost, but it was more like stolen. Well, exactly like stolen.
      • Player: Someone stole it from you?
      • Lucien: Yeah man, and then he didn't even do anything with it, he just stashed it in his bank and went off to do something else.
      • Player: The bank?
      • Lucien: Yeah you know, the bank. That place where dudes keep all their climbing boots and hand cannons.
      • Player: Oh yes, I have one of those. Mine is full of junk to be honest. I really ought to clean it out.
      • Lucien: Hey man, frugality is for losers. I have a better idea, man. You should demand more bank space.
      • Player: I will! Good idea.
      • Lucien: But hey, I mean, getting back to the subject at hand and all that, getting that altar piece isn't gonna be a cakewalk. It's in someone else's bank, man, and you can't just open up someone else's bank. It wouldn't be right, for one thing, plus you don't know the bank pin.
      • Player: So I need to find the bank pin?
      • Lucien: Oh no, it won't be that easy. You're gonna have to break in.
      • Player: Whose bank is it? Who stole it from you?
      • Lucien: You won't believe this, man. It was only the Wise Old Man.
      • Player: The Wise Old Man? The notorious bank robber?
      • Lucien: The very same.
      • Player: How ironic.
      • Lucien: If you want that piece, you're gonna have to break in, and if you're gonna break in, you're gonna need a crack team of specialists or something. Why don't you head on into the bank, case the joint and that.[sic]
      • Player: Where's the bank?
      • Lucien: Through this portal right next to me. Look for obstacles and barriers and stuff. Then take a look around the bar and see if you can find anyone to help out.
      • Player: Thanks!

Talking to Claire Hick[]

  • (The first time:)

    • Claire Hick: I'm sorry, your name isn't on the admittance list.
    • Player: But I haven't given you my name yet!
    • Claire Hick: I know.
    • You'll need to find a way to distract her from watching the vault.
      • If you have not yet found all four problems to overcome:
        • You have found X/4 problems to overcome.
      • (If you have found all four problems to overcome:)
        • You have found 4/4 problems to overcome. You should probably go and recruit some people to help you out.

    • Claire Hick: Oh, you again. You shouldn't be in here.
    • The receptionist returns her attention to the vault surveillance orb and her paperwork. You'll need to find a way to distract her from watching the vault.

Talking to Ernie[]

  • Ernie: No admittance except to authorised personnel!
  • Player: But I am authorised personnel.
  • Ernie: Oh, well then I'm very sorry. Let me just...[sic] ...kindly suggest you walk away!
  • You'll have to find someone to make the guard move out of the way.
    • (If you have not yet found all four problems to overcome:)

      • Player: I'm Player.
      • Chaos Elemental: See, now THAT is a stupid sounding name.
      • Player: I didn't mean to insult you, I just meant... Steve sounds quite a mundane name for a chaos elemental.
      • Chaos Elemental: Oh? Oh? Is it? Should I have a name like Xmkptly Kzcymtlk?
      • Player: Yes, that's more what I was expecting!
      • Chaos Elemental: You know what that is? That's elementalist!
        • It's not elementalist!

          • Player: What?
          • Chaos Elemental: I tell people about stuff that's going to happen in the future.
          • Player: Oh, like a fortune teller?
          • Chaos Elemental: Yes, sort of.
          • Player: I think I might have read some of your stuff on the website.
          • Chaos Elemental: Oh! You're familiar with my work? How marvellous!
          • Player: Yes, but I can't understand a word of it. I was surprised you were so comprehensible in person.
          • Chaos Elemental: Ah, it's all a pretense, you see, to keep people interested. If you tell people things straight, even if it's information they need to know, they don't want to hear it. But if you mix it up, make a game of it, that's when people get really interested! I'm mostly retired now though.
          • Player: Oh, why is that?
          • Chaos Elemental: They started doing those BTS videos instead. Now I spend my time using player inspect to spy on what people are wearing.
          • Player: Oh, you're into fashionscape?
          • Chaos Elemental: Yes! I mean obviously I don't wear clothes myself, but I love to see other people expressing their individuality. What do you think of fashionscape? Tell me what you really think.
            • Express yourself
              • Fashionscape is the best!
                • (Continues below.)
              • I love fashionscape!
                • (Continues below.)
              • Fashionscape is my favourite thing ever!
                • (Continues below.)
          • Chaos Elemental: I am glad you like it too!
          • (Shows previous options.)
    • Can you help me fix the life altar?
      • Chaos Elemental: The life altar? Yes. I saw a piece of it fly off when it exploded.
      • Player: Great! Where is it?
      • Chaos Elemental: Would you like me to impart that knowledge in the form of a cryptic riddle?
        • Yes, please!
          • Chaos Elemental: Oh, I was expecting you to say no. I can't just ad-lib those. I'll just tell you.
            • (Continues below.)
        • NO! No, thank you.
          • Chaos Elemental: It's just as well. It takes me forever to come up with those.
            • (Continues below.)
      • Chaos Elemental: The piece I saw got blown into the Grand Exchange.
      • Player: The Grand Exchange?
      • Chaos Elemental: Yes, you know, the Grand Exchange. The GE. The chamber of commerce. The mansion of merching. You know the place.
      • Player: Oh yeah, that Grand Exchange.
      • Chaos Elemental: See the Grand Exchange is just a series of pipes. The piece blew in there and got stuck inside. Just head on in through that portal with all the pipes and see if you can get it loose. You'll probably have to fiddle with the pipes to get it all working again.
      • Player: Thanks.
      • (Shows previous options.)
    • Will you help me break into the bank?
      • Chaos Elemental: Oh no, I'm a law-abiding citizen. You know who isn't though? That penguin by the bar. He looks pretty shifty to me.
      • Player: Thanks.
      • (Shows previous options.)
    • Goodbye Steve!

Thok[]

  • Thok: Helloooo fellow traveller!
    • Thok? What are you doing here?
      • Thok: Thok drinking!
      • Player: But Thok... this is where removed content goes to drink. You haven't been removed, have you?!
      • Thok: No!
      • Player: Then what are you doing here?
      • Thok: Thok like it here. Good beer.
      • Player: Thok, when we're on the surface world I know I won't have the courage to say this. But Thok... did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be.
      • Thok: Thok know that.
      • Player: No Thok, listen. You're the meaning in my life. You're the inspiration.
      • Thok: Thok know.
      • Player: You know it's true, everything I do, I do it for you.
      • Thok: It okay. Thok know. Everyone feel this way about Thok.
      • Player: Good. I just wanted to let you know.

    • Can you help me fix the life altar?
      • Thok: Help with what?
      • Player: The life altar, Thok. I need to fix it.
      • Thok: What is that?
      • Player: It's like... a big rock... with a picture on it. It exploded.
      • Thok: Ah yes! Thok know of this!
      • Player: Do you know where any of the pieces of it went?
      • Thok: Yes! Thok see piece go into Room of Beating. Thok's friend Max in there. He tell you.
      • Player: Where is that?
      • Thok: Through big glowing circle next to unfinished looking blue boxes.
      • Player: Okay, I'll go find and talk to Max.
      • Thok: First have drink with Thok!
      • You clink drinking glasses with Thok.
      • Thok: Skål!
      • Player: Skål!
      • You drink with Thok.
      • Thok: Okay bye now!
      • Player: Bye Thok!
    • Will you help me break into the bank?
      • Thok: No, Thok cannot help with this[sic]
    • Goodbye, Thok.

Crunchy or Tim[]

  • Tim: Hello!
  • Crunchy: 'Hey.'
    • Who are you two then?
      • (As before.)
    • Hey, what's new?
      • (As before.)
    • Will you help me break into the bank?
      • Tim: You want to do what?
      • Player: Break into a bank.
      • Tim: Why do you want to do a thing like that?
      • Player: Quest says I have to.
      • Tim: No other options?
      • Player: Nope.
      • Tim: And what needs doing?
      • Player: I need to blow open a vault door.
      • Tim: Oh that's easy work for environment leads like us. What do you make of it, Crunch?
      • Crunchy: 'I think we should help, Tim.'
      • Tim: Well alright, but you have to do something for us first.
      • Player: Why am I not surprised? What is it this time? You want me to fetch you some shoes? You want me to polish all your belt buckles? You want me to dance for you like a ballerina?
      • Tim: Nothing like that. Building this place was really hard work for the lads.
      • Crunchy: 'You realise it goes on forever in both directions? You know how much work it is to build something infinitely large?'
      • Player: That does sound hard.
      • Tim: It's not just hard work, it's thirsty work.
      • Player: Let me guess. You want me to take a cup of tea to each of the five environment artists hanging around the bar?
      • Tim: That's uncannily accurate.
      • Player: I assume I can buy tea from the bartenders?
      • Tim: It might even be free.
      • Player: Is there some reason the environment artists can't get their own free tea from the bartenders they're standing right next to?
      • Tim: Did I mention that it's *really* tiring work?
      • Player: And you can't do it because...?
      • Tim: Tiny, tiny hands.
      • Player: Right. I'll get on with it...
      • Crunchy: 'I think you have great management potential!'
    • Goodbye.

Guthix[]

  • Guthix: Can I help you?
    • Oh my - you're Guthix!
      • (As before.)
    • Will you help me break into the bank?
      • Guthix: I'm sorry, could you repeat that?
      • Player: I need to break into a bank. Can you help?
      • Guthix: What skills could a washed-up old actor possibly possess that would be of use to such an endeavour?
      • Player: Well, there's a guard that needs distracting.
      • Guthix: I see, I see... and what's your assessment of the morality of this action?
      • Player: I'm stealing back something that was stolen, which I need to save the world... sort of.
      • Guthix: Well, I may be able to put my skills to use in your service, but it seems only fair that you should perform some act of relief in recompense.
      • Player: What do you want?
      • Guthix: I have always striven to maintain a healthy work/life balance. Sadly being out of work has skewed said scales squarely towards the side of life. This has left me quite without direction and purpose and as such though it is a life filled with ample time, it is one bereft wholly of meaning.
      • Player: Oh, you want a job?
      • Guthix: Yes! I wish to act again! I want to strut and fret my hour upon the stage once more. I have heard tell of a company of actors, cabbages they say, who live in this place. Alas I cannot approach them myself, for what manner of distinguished player acts on his own behalf? No, you must be my agent in this matter. Secure a part for me and I will aid you with your trifle.
    • Goodbye.

Lucien[]

  • Lucien: Oh hey man, what's up?
    • We need to talk.
      • (As before.)
    • Can you help me fix the life altar?
      • (As before.)
    • Will you help me break into the bank?
      • Lucien: Sorry man, my nerves are shot these days. Good luck though.
      • Player: Thanks anyway.
      • (Shows previous options.)
    • Not much, man.

Romeo[]

  • Romeo: 'A lovestruck Romeo sings a street suss serenade...'
    • That song sounds familiar.
      • (As before.)
    • Will you help me break into the bank?
      • Romeo: Do a what?
      • Player: Rob a bank.
      • Romeo: Why would I want to do that?
      • Player: It's super important.
      • Romeo: Oh, then of course I'll help. What do you need?
      • Player: I need someone to distract the female receptionist.
      • Romeo: Ah, I've had my eye on her for some time! I am indeed the perfect choice. I must caution you though, that such takes on gender roles are fast becoming trite in the modern age. There is one small problem.
      • Player: Of course there is. What is it?
      • Romeo: If I am to woo this lady, I will need to be at the top of my game! Sadly I fear my talents have atrophied. Find me some up to date advice on matters of the heart! Five pieces of advice, please.
      • Player: Can't you do it yourself?
      • Romeo: Oh, no. I don't want to look desperate.
        • Any idea who I should ask?
          • Romeo: Well, they'd need to be people who've been around for a while. You know, seen a few things. Been around the block a few times. Ideally they'd meet a lot of different people in their day to day lives. And uh... make sure you ask people who inspire loyalty and trust - leaaderly figures, you know.
          • Player: Should they be lovers, not fighters?
          • Romeo: Oh no, definitely fighters too.
          • Player: Anything else?
          • Romeo: I always think the best advice comes from people who are diametrically opposed, philosophically, culturally and politically.
          • Player: Those are quite specific criteria.
          • Romeo: Yes.
          • Player: Good thing the God Wars bosses are standing at a table over there.
        • I'll see who I can find.
    • Goodbye.

Sphenishchev[]

  • Sphenishchev: Hello again, tovarisch[sic]
    • Wait, have we met?
      • (As before.)
    • Will you help me break into the bank?
      • Sphenishchev: Bank, you say?
      • Player: I need someone with a very particular set of skills...
      • Sphenishchev: You want safe cracked?
      • Player: Yes, actually!
      • Sphenishchev: I am in.
      • Player: Don't you want to know what the job is?
      • Sphenishchev: No.
      • Player: Don't you want me to do something for you in return?
      • Sphenishchev: Not really. I love to crack safe. There is small, tiny, teensy, little problem.
      • Player: Of course there is.
      • Sphenishchev: You see, I do not have... dexterity of human hand. Opposable digits, you see. If you able to do work, I will guide you through process. Is deal?
      • Player: I don't see why not. You're the least awkward person I've met so far on this quest.
      • Sphenishchev: Good. I will see you in bank.
      • Sphenishchev teleports away.
        • (If you have yet to recruit all 4 people needed:)
          • You have recruited X/4 people needed.
        • (If you have recruited all 4 people needed:)

      • Player: I wonder who that was?
    • Goodbye.

Gathering romantic advice for Romeo[]

Commander Zilyana[]

  • General Graardor: I don't see why not. Has your 'friend' tried just talking to the lady or gentleman they are courting? Don't go for smarmy chat-up lines. Just get to know them a bit, find out what they like, what they have in common. I like to think of romance as a journey undertaken together rather than a conquest.

At the bank[]

Talking to Romeo[]

After talking to Claire Hick[]

  • I have someone who wants to speak to you.
    • Guthix: Guard! What sort of state do you call this?
    • Ernie: What?
    • Guthix: Your uniform is a disgrace! Is this how you present yourself to the president of the bank? Your helmet is unpolished. Your boots look like they came out of a well. As for your trousers... I'm not even going to discuss them. You are a disgusting worm!
    • Ernie: Sir sorry sir!
    • Guthix: I should have you thrown out of the bank guard's guild!
    • Ernie: Sir please don't sir! I need this job to pay for my twelve starving children sir!
    • Guthix: If you want to keep your job then I suggest you go and clean yourself up right this second!
    • Ernie: Sir yes sir!
    • Guthix and Ernie teleport away.
    • Player: I didn't expect that to work.

After Tim deletes part of the Vault Door[]
  • Sphenishchev: Hello.
  • Player: Wait, who are you?

  • Player: Oh, that's convenient. I need someone to help me crack a safe.

  • Player: Oh, okay.
  • Sphenishchev: Are you ready?
  • Player: Er, I guess, Mr Mystery Penguin.
  • Sphenishchev: Okay I tell you what to do. First you flip little switch on side.
  • You turn to face the safe.
  • Player: Like this?
  • You flip a switch on the side of the safe.
  • Sphenishchev: Yes is correct. Now grab handle, and slowly twist and pull towards you.
  • You grab the handle with one hand, and twist and pull the handle towards yourself with both hands.
  • Sphenishchev: And that is that.
  • Player: Seriously? That was it?
  • Sphenishchev: Yes. Job well done. You take what you want from safe now.
  • Player: Wait, who are you?
  • Sphenishchev: I hate working with other people...

In the Beta Testing room[]

Opening any of the skill room doors before talking to Max[]

  • Player: I think I ought to talk to Max about all this first...

Talking to Max[]

  • Max: Hi there!
  • Player: Oh, hey Max, it's me, the world guardian!
  • Max: Oh hey, world guardian #X!
  • Player: What?
  • Max: [X-1] other players have come through here since the quest was launched.
  • Player: So what are you doing here, Max?
  • Max: Oh well, you know, I maxed every skill in RuneScape, so I've come here looking for new skills to max. This is the beta room, where new skills get developed.
  • Player: Is that why it looks all broken and unfinished?
  • Max: That's right! I sneak in here to do the new skills in advance.
  • Player: But that's cheating!
  • Max: It's not cheating. When the skill goes live, all my beta progress gets wiped.
  • Player: Then why do you do it?
  • Max: I learn all the tricks and training methods. How do you think I maxed Invention so quickly? I knew all those rates in advance, baby.
    • But you took ages to max Invention!
      • A tear appears at the corner of Max's eye and he quickly wipes it away.
      • Max: What do you want, anyway?
      • Player: Thok told me there was a fragment of the life altar in here. Have you seen it? I need it.
      • Max: Oh that, yeah. I have it, but I'm not giving it to you because you were mean to me. If you want the fragment you'll have to make it up to me - I want you to max all the prototype skills in here!
      • (Continues below.)
    • I'm looking for a piece of life altar.
      • Max: Oh, yes, that - I have it.
      • Player: Great! Will you give it to me?
      • Max: Just like that? No, I don't think so. You wouldn't value a thing that comes too easily.
      • Player: What if I promise I would?
      • Max: No, I think it would be better if you maxed all the skills in this room in return for it.
      • (Continues below.)
  • Player: Max all of them? But that will take forever!
  • Max: Go on, give it a go! The balance isn't final anyway.
  • Player: Okay, what skills do I need to do?
  • Max: There's three prototype skills, one in each room. Get all of them to 99 and I'll give you the altar piece.
    • But what skills are they?
      • Max: It's a surprise!
      • Player: Go on, give me a clue.
      • Max: Well... we've got some real classics down here.
      • Player: Like what?
      • Max: I mean these are real top-line, down-and-dirty, old school skills we're talking about here.
      • Player: What? What are they?
      • Max: We're not talking Divination or other random made up stuff.
      • Player: What are the skills? Tell me?
      • Max: These ain't no minigames pretending to be skills.
      • Player: JUST TELL ME!
      • Max: Are you sure you're ready for this?
      • Player: YES!
      • Max: Okay, well first up we've got Bankstanding.
      • Player: Bankstanding?
      • Max: Bankstanding. Fan favourite.
      • Player: I... was not expecting that. What else?
      • Max: Well, we got... Are you sure you're ready?
      • Player: Yes!
      • Max: You don't want to sit down?
      • Player: No! Tell me!
      • Max: It's only... Riding!
      • Player: Wow!
      • Max: And Sailing!
      • Player: Double wow!!!
      • Max: You'd better get on with it!
      • Player: I will!
    • I'll get right on with that then.
After the first time[]
  • Max: You're doing great, kid. Don't get cocky!
    • Remind me what I'm doing again?
      • Max: There's three prototype skills, one in each room. Get them all to 99 and I'll give you the altar piece.
        • But what skills are they?
          • (As before.)
        • I'll get right on with that then.
    • Drop some skilling knowledge on me.
      • Max: You know, I met a man - a JMod, actually - down here, who had a rotten potato.
      • Player: What's that?
      • Max: It's a kind of cheat tool that JMods can use to hack their characters. You can max your skills, complete quests, teleport anywhere in the world, even spawn Jad. All with just a click!
      • Player: Wow!
      • Max: I know, right? Imagine the power!
      • Player: Did you... use it?
      • Max: No, of course not! I mean I'm not saying I wasn't tempted, but... The thing you have to understand about skilling is that it's not the destination that matters, but the journey. If I could just skip to the end, what would be the point? It's not like having 99 Firemaking is actually doing anything for me! People look up to me, and legendary players like Zezima and Suomi, because of the accomplishment, not the levels. It's not what we have that matters, it's what we've done.
      • Player: Thanks Max.
    • I recognise that quote.
      • Max: You do?
      • Player: The line is actually 'That's great kid, don't get cocky.'
      • Max: Sure.
      • Player: It's from a popular sci-fi movie series that we're hesitant to explicitly name for legal reasons.
      • Max: Oh, really?
      • Player: You've never seen it?
      • Max: No. But then technically neither have you.
      • Player: No, I suppose not.
      • Max: No cinema in RuneScape.
      • Player: No, true.
      • Max: It's a real shame.
      • Player: We miss out on a lot of great movies.
      • Max: Yeah.
      • Player: Yeah.
      • Max: So... you should probably get back to it.
      • Player: Yeah.
      • Max: *cough* Nerd.
      • Player: What was that?
      • Max: Nothing.
    • Bye Max.

Opening Barricaded doors[]

Barricaded door [#1][]
  • Player: Looks like someone forgot to turn the ocean off.
Barricaded door [#2][]

  • This door has 'Warning: All The Bees' written on it in shaky handwriting.
Barricaded door [#4][]
  • There is a sign stuck to this door.
  • Lots Of Blood storage room - not a skill, do not develop!
  • Player: There's something written on the other side...
  • Marmelade-Vorratskammer - keine Fertigkeit, Entwicklung verboten!
  • Player: Weird.
Barricaded door [#5][]
  • The door is barricaded unusually firmly; behind it you hear a sound as of a million female voices chanting 'Pargon'.
  • Player: I suspect it would be madness to open that door.
Barricaded door [#6][]
  • It's sticky.
Barricaded door [#7][]
  • Player: Something about the contents of this room brings the word 'squidgy' to mind. Also 'polyp'.
Barricaded door [#8][]
  • Player: Shame development on this one seems to have frozen, I know some people who could do with chilling out.
Barricaded door [#9][]
  • Player: There's a torn note on this door.
  • Don't go in here if you value y[sic]
  • Player: It's got some stains on it.
Barricaded door [#10][]
  • Player: Oooh, maybe they're working on the Spontaneous Combustion skill after all!
Barricaded door [#11][]
  • Eyes watch you from the darkness within this room. Suddenly the barricade seems remarkably flimsy to you.
Barricaded door [#12][]
  • From behind this door you hear beautiful, inspiring music played expertly on a variety of instruments.
  • Player: Shame I can't get in here, it's firmly Bard.
Barricaded door [#13][]
  • Player: Arghh, my eyes! What is this, the Blinding You With Science skill?
Barricaded door [#14][]
  • Player: I can look right through this door!
  • You peer through the opening in the opened barricaded door.
  • Player: No. Nope. No. Uh uh.
  • You pause for a moment.
  • Player: Nooooooo.

In the Bankstanding room[]

Talking to Max[]

  • Max: You're doing great, kid. Don't get cocky!
    • What's up in this room?
      • (If 99 Bankstanding is not achieved:)
        • Max: Bankstanding!
        • Player: Bankstanding...?
        • Max: Bankstanding! One of my favourites, to be honest. Just stand in the bank area to get started. Make sure you're ready to feel the burn, though. Not everyone can handle the pressure!
      • (If 99 Bankstanding is achieved:)
        • Max: You're done here, let's pick another room!
    • Drop some skilling knowledge on me.
      • (As before.)
    • I recognise that quote.
      • (As before.)
    • How are you standing in more than one place?
      • Max: I have multiple clients running.
      • Player: But that's against the Terms of Service!
      • Max: No it isn't. My accounts aren't interacting in any way.
      • Player: Then why are you doing it?
      • Max: I like to max on multiple accounts at the same time. You haven't lived until you've hit a hundred and eight 99s at the same time.
      • Player: That sounds like hard work.
      • Max: I love it!
    • Bye Max.

While Bankstanding[]

        • Max: Riding!
        • Player: OMG Riding!? I thought Riding wasn't possible in RuneScape's engine!
        • Max: Well... I don't want to lower your expectations, but... that's pretty much true. Anyway, just go stand on one of those squares and follow the instructions!
      • (If 99 Riding is achieved:)
        • Max: You're done here, let's pick another room!

Talking to the Riding tutor[]

  • Riding tutor: Hello there, I'm the Riding tutor!
  • Player: Riding? Isn't that just a rocking unicorn?
  • Riding tutor: Ah...well...yes, but we haven't quite got the skill finished yet so this is what we have to work with. It's basically the same, you just have to imagine you're moving. Climb aboard one of the rocking unicorns and copy me to gain XP!

        • Player: OMG Sailing!?
        • Max: I know right!
        • Player: This room is a bit small and... un-oceanic.
        • Max: Well, yeah... It's in a sorry state, to be honest. They didn't have time to make the sea, or boats, or islands... But hey, head to the boarding point, and experience something which is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike Sailing.
      • (If 99 Sailing is achieved:)
        • Max: You're done here, let's pick another room!

  • Max: Well thanks Max.
  • Max: No worries. Here's your fragment.
  • Max hands you a piece of broken stone with strange carvings on it.
  • You found a piece of the life altar!
  • Player: Thanks Max. At first I was annoyed that you didn't just give me the fragment, but now that I've worked hard for it, I really feel like I earned it.
  • Max winks at you.
  • Player: Well I'll be going.
  • Max: See you!
Afterward[]

Life altar[]

Talking to Spiral Orb[]

Before repairing the life altar[]

    • Can you go over the life altar thing again?
      • Spiral Orb: You need to find and return all three missing fragments of the life altar.
      • Player: I have all the pieces!
      • Spiral Orb: Oh nice! Better get on down to the life altar and fix it up then!
      • Player: Where is the life altar?
      • Spiral Orb: You know the big portals? It's one of those, it has all grass and plants around it.
    • Have we met before?
      • (As before.)

After repairing the life altar[]

  • Spiral Orb: Hello again!
    • I repaired the life altar!
      • Spiral Orb: Good job! That's give me inspiration for a new song. I call it 'Broken Rocks, Broken Heart'. What do you think?

          • Spiral Orb: I thought so too.
        • Lame.
          • Spiral Orb: Your face is lame.

  • Black Knight Titan: Hahahahahaha! You fool. You have fallen into my trap!
  • Player: No!
  • Black Knight Titan: Yes!
  • Player: Oh no!
  • Black Knight Titan: Oh yes!
    • So... who are you?
      • Black Knight Titan: Don't you recognise me?
      • Player: Nope.
      • Black Knight Titan: I am... the Black Knight Titan!
      • Player: Oh.
      • Black Knight Titan: I don't think you heard me. I said THE BLACK KNIGHT TITAN!
      • Player: I heard you.
      • Black Knight Titan: I don't think you can have, because if you had, you would have reacted with more genuine emotion.
      • Player: Oh, sorry. Can we go again?
      • Black Knight Titan: I AM THE BLACK KNIGHT TITAN!
      • Player: GASP!
      • Black Knight Titan: Better!
        • (Shows previous options.)
    • What's your villainous backstory?
      • Black Knight Titan: My tale is a tragic one.
      • Player: Please tell me, I'm really interested.
      • Black Knight Titan: Really?
      • Player: Really.
      • Black Knight Titan: You won't spacebar through it?
        • Promise.
          • (Continues below.)
        • I can't guarantee that. It sounds like a long story.
          • (Continues below.)
      • Black Knight Titan: I am not the first Black Knight Titan. Somewhere up there, an ancient fossil runs around with impunity.
      • Player: Who?
      • Black Knight Titan: The original Black Knight Titan!
      • Player: I thought you were the Black Knight Titan?
      • Black Knight Titan: I'm the graphical rework. My predecessor is the ugliest model in Runescape[sic].
        • You're not wrong there.
          • (Continues below.)
        • How dare you!
          • (Continues below.)
      • Black Knight Titan: I am his replacement, and I am *so* beautiful! I was made using industry standard modelling tools, not cooked up in some sort of bespoke contraption! My poly count is higher than your IQ! My textures are UV unwrapped! I'm so unwrapped I make my predecessor look like a burrito. A burrito that's been wrapped up as the prize in pass the parcel! A burrito that -
      • Player: I get it.
      • Black Knight Titan: But the team were too busy working on high priority ninja fixes to put me in game. I just languished here.
      • Player: Is that so bad?
      • Black Knight Titan: You don't understand. The old NPCs here don't want to associate with me. I'm everything they hate! I'm beautiful and they're so ugly! They call me vain! Vain! Me? How can I be vain when I'm so beautiful? So I was forced to live... alone... I tried haunting the ruins of Old Falador but Guthix kept wandering around singing 'I Dreamed A Dream' to taunt me. That's not even from Phantom of the Opera! It's from Les Mis! I don't belong down here. I belong up there, up where they walk, up where they run, up where people can appreciate me.
        • (Shows previous options.)
    • Why were you hiding at the life altar?
      • Black Knight Titan: Indeed you have surmised that the altar is the key to my plan. Life runes are what the people of this place use to respawn. But the altar is too powerful! Without needing essence, it generates life runes constantly. The cabbagemancer regulated it, transforming the excess life runes into cabbages and sending them to the surface. Cabbages are so tasty that people are eager to consume them and thus maintain the balance.
      • Player: What happened to the cabbagemancer?
      • Black Knight Titan: I killed her!
      • Player: You monster!
      • Black Knight Titan: It's okay. She was a botter *and* an account sharer. So who's the real monster?
      • Player: Well, maybe. Presumably you didn't kill her just for that though?
      • Black Knight Titan: Indeed not! Without the cabbagemancer, there was no one to control the flow of life runes! They got out of control! The altar exploded. With the supply of delicious cabbages cut off, I knew someone would investigate, leading them, inevitably, here. And whoever arrived would bring with them my ultimate goal... A disk of returning!
      • Player: No... You lured me?
      • Black Knight Titan: Yes! I bet you feel stupid now.
      • Player: Not really. This whole quest has been so linear.
      • Black Knight Titan: That may be, but breaking the fourth wall will not save you now.
        • (Shows previous options.)
    • Can we just get on with the boss fight?
      • Black Knight Titan: Indeed! Let's you and me fight! I shall slay you, loot the disk of returning from your gravestone, and use it to ascend to the surface! Prepare to taste the wrath of my high-res broken looking sword thing!
      • Black Knight Titan attacks.

Talking to Crispy the cabbage in your inventory[]

  • Crispy the cabbage: Altar of livings is better now, but Titan is much of need killings.

Whilst fighting the Black Knight Titan[]

  • Black Knight Titan: DIE!

Defeating the Black Knight Titan[]

First time[]

  • Black Knight Titan falls.
  • Player: That was surprisingly easy...
  • Black Knight Titan rises.
  • Black Knight Titan: Guess again!
  • Player: Gasp!
  • Black Knight Titan: Respawn!
  • Black Knight Titan attacks.

Second time[]

  • Black Knight Titan falls.
  • Crispy the Cabbage: Yay! You is of finding altar of life.
  • Player: The problem is, the Black Knight Titan is trying to kill me and he won't stay dead!
  • Black Knight Titan rises.
  • Crispy the Cabbage: Is life runes. Life runes is into spawnings.
  • Player: He's using life runes to respawn? But there's hundreds of them.
  • Crispy the Cabbage: Needs of cabbagemancer!
  • Player: She's dead. The Titan killed her.
  • Crispy the Cabbage: Is of need new cabbagemancers!
  • Player: Aren't the Gower brothers cabbagemancers?
  • Crispy the Cabbage: Yes! I fetch! You is of toss. Toss me up ceiling! Keep of fighting until I into return!
  • You toss Crispy the Cabbage upward. Black Knight Titan attacks.

Third time[]

  • Black Knight Titan falls. Screen fades out and then back in.

Fetching the Gower brothers[]

  • Crispy the Cabbage is at the Gower Farm.
  • Crispy the Cabbage: Player is in trouble! No time into explaining!
  • Andrew: Player in trouble?
  • Paul: We need to help!
  • Ian: Let's do this!
  • Paul: Er, do what?
  • Crispy the Cabbage: Jumps into cabbage patch! Cast of life-rune-to-cabbage!
  • Ian: Let's do this!
  • Gower brothers dive into the cabbage patch. Screen fades out and then back in.

Returning to fight the Black Knight Titan[]

  • You prepare to fight. Black Knight Titan has risen. Andrew jumps in.
  • Andrew: We're here to help!
  • Paul: You hold him off!
  • Ian: We'll make cabbages!
  • Andrew, Paul, and Ian cast spells on life runes. Black Knight Titan attacks.

Defeating the Black Knight Titan[]

Fourth time[]

  • Black Knight Titan falls.
  • Player: This is exhausting.
  • Black Knight Titan rises.
  • Black Knight Titan: Defend yourself!
  • Player: Can't we just... take a breather?
  • Black Knight Titan: No!
  • Player: Then can we mix it up a bit?
  • Black Knight Titan: Yup! Let me introduce you to this broken lance thing I have!
  • Black Knight Titan attacks.

Fifth time[]

  • Player: No, that didn't really help. Your lance is very nice but a melee attack is still just a melee attack.
  • Black Knight Titan rises.
  • Black Knight Titan: Yeah, I suppose.
  • Player: You got anything else?
  • Black Knight Titan: I could make lines of fire that you have to avoid standing in?
  • Player: Better than nothing but kind of cliché.
  • Black Knight Titan: I could make a black hole that sucks you in?
  • Player: No good. Not enough graphics budget.
  • Black Knight Titan: I've got it! I'll use both weapons at the SAME TIME!
  • Black Knight Titan attacks.

Sixth time[]

  • Black Knight Titan falls.
  • Andrew: Finished!
  • Black Knight Titan: Why can't I respawn?
  • Player: Finally!
  • Black Knight Titan: It hurts. Is this... what *dying*... feels like?
  • Paul: Who is this?
  • Player: The graphically reworked Black Knight Titan.
  • Paul: Why were you fighting him?
  • Player: He wanted my disk of returning so he could escape to RuneScape.
  • Andrew: Is that all? I have loads of them. Here, you can have this one.
  • Black Knight Titan: I can just have it?
  • Andrew: Of course, why not?
  • Black Knight Titan: So many evil plans, so much loneliness. I should have just asked nicely. Thank you so much!
  • Andrew: You're welcome. Make sure you pay it forward!
  • Black Knight Titan: I will. Here I go!
  • Screen fades out and then back in. Black Knight Titan is gone.

After the Black Knight Titan leaves[]

  • Player: That wasn't exactly how I expected that to end.
  • Andrew: So what is this place?
  • Player: The life altar, the place where all life runes were created.
  • Paul: The life altar! I always wanted to see that go into the game. Hm... what did I just say?
  • Player: Oh yeah, we're Behind the Scenes. You'll keep saying weird, fourth wall-breaking stuff. You get used to it. I think I may have a quest for you three now. The Titan killed the old cabbagemancer to lure me here and that let the life altar get out of control. What do you think about staying here as caretakers? Saviours of the universe, and you'd have an infinite supply of cabbages for your game.
  • Andrew: That's a great idea!
  • Ian: I'll be honest, I never did like living on a farm.
  • Paul: Plus, it's like a secret lair, which is super cool!
  • Andrew: It's settled then. We fix up the life altar and move in here.
  • Gower brothers: Huzzah!
  • Paul: What a happy ending to my quest! Who would have thought when we started out that it would take such an unexpected turn?
  • Player: Not me. I was sure Sliske was going to show up or something.
  • Ian: I do love a happy ending!
Congratulations! Quest complete!

    • Player: Thanks.
    • Andrew gives the player a cabbagespeak amulet.
    • (Continues below.)
  • (If the disk of returning is not owned:)

    • (Continues below.)
  • Andrew: All's well that ends well.
    • (If you have not yet claimed an XP lamp from Paul:)
      • (Transcript missing. edit)
    • Can I use the life altar?
      • Andrew: No, I'm afraid not. It's very dangerous.
      • Player: Oh, that's a shame. I was assuming it would unlock as a quest reward.
      • Andrew: You don't know any spells that need life runes, do you?
      • Player: No.
      • Andrew: No need to worry then!
      • (Shows previous options.)

Talking to Paul[]

    • Can I be a pmod for Cabbagemud?

      • Player: Awwwwwww...
      • Paul: Tell you what, you can be an honorary pmod! How about that?
      • Player: Yay!
        • (Shows previous options.)
    • (If you have not yet claimed an XP lamp from Paul:)
      • I was hoping for more of a reward.
        • Paul: Oh. Didn't you enjoy the quest?
        • Player: It's not that, it's just, you know, I like XP, so I was wondering...
        • Paul: Oh I see. Well, okay. Since you did help us out and everything. Level all your free to play skills to 30 and I'll find a lamp for you.
          • (If you already have all free to play skills at level 30 or above:)
            • Player: All skills at 30? No problemo. Already done.
            • Paul: Oh, well done! Here's your lamp as promised then.
            • Paul hands you a lamp.
            • (Shows previous options.)

      • Ian: Cool! Glad you like them.
    • (If you have not yet claimed an XP lamp from Paul:)
      • (Transcript missing. edit)
    • Can you return me to the surface?
      • Ian: You should talk to Andrew about that. I think he knows a teleport spell.
        • (Shows previous options.)
    • Goodbye.

Talking to Black Knight Titan[]

Old Black Knight Titan[]

  • Black Knight Titan: I don't know what happened! I was just standing out in the world one minute, and then stuck here the next!
  • Player: You've been graphically replaced.
  • Black Knight Titan: Oh. That makes me sad. Is there anything you can do to help?
    • Send the old Black Knight Titan back to RuneScape?
      • Yes.
        • The new Black Knight Titan replaces the old one.
        • Black Knight Titan: Oh no, I'm back! What did I do wrong this time?
      • No.

New Black Knight Titan[]

      • Yes.
        • The old Black Knight Titan replaces the new one.
