Starting out

Talking to Father Aereck

• Father Aereck: Welcome to the church of holy Saradomin.
  • Who's Saradomin?
    • (Non-quest dialogue)
  • Nice place you've got here.
    • (Non-quest dialogue)
  • I'm looking for a quest!
    • Father Aereck: That's lucky, I need someone to do a quest for me.
      • (Quest noticeboard opens)
        • Accept Quest
          • Father Aereck: Thank you. The problem is there's a ghost in the graveyard just south of this church. I would like you to get rid of it. You'll need the help of my friend, Father Uhrney, who is a bit of a ghost expert. He's currently living in a little shack in the south of Lumbridge Swamps, near the coast. My name is Father Aereck, by the way. Pleased to meet you.
          • Player: Likewise.
          • Father Aereck: Take care travelling through the swamps. To get there just follow the path south, through the graveyard.
          • Player: I will, thanks.
        • Not Right Now
          • Father Aereck: Oh, well. If you do have some spare time on your hands, come back and talk to me.
  • Can you tell me about the crater?
    • (Non-quest dialogue)

Talking to the dead

Talking to Father Aereck before talking to the ghost

• Father Aereck: Have you gotten rid of the ghost yet?
• Player: How was I supposed to do that?
• Father Aereck: Well, you should go find Father Uhrney as he knows all about ghosts. You can get to the swamp he lives in by going south through the cemetery. You'll have to head south through the swamp - stick to the coastline and you'll find his house in no time.

Talking to the Restless Ghost

Without the Ghostspeak amulet

• Player: Hello, ghost, how are you?
• Restless Ghost: Wooo wooo wooooo!

    • Restless Ghost: Woooooo!
    • Player: Never mind.
  • Ooh, that's interesting.

                  • Goodbye. Thanks for the chat.

                    • Player: Well, if you insist.

      • Yea, that's what I thought.
        • Restless Ghost: Wooo woooooooooooooo...
          • Goodbye. Thanks for the chat.

  • Any hints as to where I can find some treasure?
    • Restless Ghost: Wooooooo woo! Wooooo woo wooooo woowoowoowoo
      Woo wooo. Wooooo woo woo? Woooooooooooooooooo!

Before talking to Father Urhney and the Restless Ghost

Searching the coffin.

• You search the coffin and find some human remains. There's no point in disturbing them.

Searching for the skull

• There's nothing there of any use to you.

Talking to Father Urhney

• Father Urhney: Go away! I'm meditating!
  • Well, that's friendly.
    • Father Urhney: I said go away!
    • Player: Okay, okay. Sheesh, what a grouch.
  • If Father Urhney has not yet given you a Ghostspeak amulet:
    • Father Aereck sent me to talk to you.
      • Father Urhney: I suppose I'd better talk to you then. What has he got himself into this time?
        • A ghost is haunting his graveyard.
          • Father Urhney: Oh. The silly fool. I leave town for five months and he's already having problems. *sigh* Well, I can't go back and exorcise it - I vowed not to leave this place until I've spent a full two years praying and meditating. I'll tell you want I can do, though - take this amulet.
            • If you do not have at least one free inventory space:
              • Player: Sorry, that's not really possible. I don't have space to carry anything. I'll be right back!
            • If you have at least one free inventory space:
              • Father Urhney gives you an amulet.
              • Father Urhney: It is a ghostspeak amulet. It's called that because, when you wear it, you can speak to ghosts. Many ghosts are doomed to remain in this world because they have some important task left uncompleted. If you know what this task is, you can get rid of the ghost. I'm not making any guarantees, mind you, but it's the best I can do right now.
              • Player: Thank you. I'll give it a try.
        • You mean he gets into lots of problems?
          • Father Urhney: Yeah. Even when we were trainee priests he kept getting stuck up bell ropes. Anyway, I don't have time for chit-chat. What's his problem this time?
          • Player: A ghost haunting his graveyard.
          • Father Urhney: Oh. The silly fool. I leave town for five months and he's already having problems. *sigh* Well, I can't go back and exorcise it - I vowed not to leave this place until I've spent a full two years praying and meditating. I'll tell you want I can do, though - take this amulet.
            • If you do not have at least one free inventory space:
              • Player: Sorry, that's not really possible. I don't have space to carry anything. I'll be right back!
            • If you have at least one free inventory space:
              • Father Urhney gives you an amulet.
              • Father Urhney: It is a ghostspeak amulet. It's called that because, when you wear it, you can speak to ghosts. Many ghosts are doomed to remain in this world because they have some important task left uncompleted. If you know what this task is, you can get rid of the ghost. I'm not making any guarantees, mind you, but it's the best I can do right now.
              • Player: Thank you. I'll give it a try.
  • I've come to repossess your house.
    • Father Urhney: On what grounds?
      • Repeated failure to make mortgage repayments.
        • Father Urhney: What? But I don't have a mortgage - I built this house myself.
        • Player: Sorry, I must have got the wrong address. All the houses look the same around here.
        • Father Urhney: What? What houses? This is the only one. What are you talking about?
        • Player: Never mind.
      • I don't know, I just wanted this house.
        • Father Urhney: Oh, go away and stop wasting my time.
  • If Father Urhney has already given you a Ghostspeak amulet:
    • I've lost that ghostspeak amulet you gave me.
      • If you are wearing a ghostspeak amulet or have it in your inventory: 
        • Father Urhney sighs.
        • Father Urhney: What are you talking about? I can see you've got it with you.
      • If your ghostspeak amulet is in your bank: 
        • Father Urhney sighs.
        • Father Urhney: Why do you insist on wasting my time? Has it even occurred to you to look in your bank? Now go away!
      • If your ghostspeak amulet has been dropped/lost/destroyed: 
        • Father Urhney sighs.
        • Father Urhney: How careless can you get? Those things aren't easy to come by, you know! It's a good job I've got a spare.
        • Father Urhney hands you an amulet.
        • Father Urhney: Be more careful this time.
        • Player: Okay, I'll try to be.

After talking to Father Urhney yet before talking to the ghost

• Father Aereck: Have you got rid of the ghost yet?
• Player: I had a talk with Father Urhney. He has given me a funny amulet for talking to ghosts.
• Father Aereck: I always wondered what that amulet was. Well, I hope it's useful. Tell me when you get rid of the ghost.

Talking to the Restless Ghost

Without the Ghostspeak amulet after receiving it

• Player: Hello, ghost, how are you?
• Restless Ghost: Wooo wooo wooooo!
• Player: Why can't I understand you? Oh, yeah, it might help if I wear this amulet!

While wearing the Ghostspeak amulet

• Player: Hello, ghost, how are you?
• Restless Ghost: Not very good, actually.
• Player: What's the problem?
• Restless Ghost: Did you just understand what I said?
  • Yep. Now tell me what the problem is.
    • Restless Ghost: Wow! This is incredible! I didn't expect anyone to ever understand me!
    • Player: Okay, okay, I can understand you.
    • Player: But have you any idea why you're doomed to be a ghost?
    • Restless Ghost: Well, to be honest, I'm not sure. I should think it's because I've lost my head.
      • (Continues below)
  • No, you sound like you're speaking nonsense to me.
    • Restless Ghost: Oh, that's a pity. You got my hopes up there.
    • Player: Yeah, it is a pity. Sorry about that.
    • Restless Ghost: Hang on a second - you can understand me!
      • No. I can't.
        • Restless Ghost: Great. The first person I can speak to in ages... ...and they're a moron.
      • Yep, clever, aren't I?
        • Restless Ghost: I'm impressed. You must be very powerful. I don't suppose you can stop me being a ghost?
          • Okay, but do you know why you're a ghost?
            • Restless Ghost: Nope. I just know I can't do much of anything like this. I should think it's because I've lost my head.
              • (Continues below)
          • No, you're scary!
            • (Same as below)
  • Wow, this amulet works!
    • Restless Ghost: Oh! It's your amulet that's doing it. I did wonder. I don't suppose you can help me? I don't like being a ghost.
      • Yes, okay, but do you know why you're a ghost?
        • Restless Ghost: Nope. I just know I can't do much of anything like this. I should think it's because I've lost my head.
          • (Continues below)
      • No, you're scary!
        • Restless Ghost: Great. The first person I can speak to in ages... ...and they're an idiot.

• Player: What? I can see your head perfectly fine. Well, see through it at least.
• Restless Ghost: No, no, I mean from my REAL body. If you look in my coffin you'll see my corpse is without its skull. Last thing I remember was being attacked by a warlock while I was mining. It was at the mine just south of this graveyard.
• Player: Okay. I'll try to get your skull back for you so you can rest in peace.
