Halloween 2010

Introduction
It's time for a monster mash at Grim's house! Pumpkin Pete has organised a party at the Grim Reaper's house, but, as is the way with prima donna celebrities, the musicians have requests. They won't perform until those requests are met, but Pumpkin Pete has his hands full with keeping the party-comers happy. Can you help out at Hallowe'en? |
 |
To start the Hallowe'en event, you will need to find the black house portal located north-west of Port Sarim. Here Pumpkin Pete waits for any adventurer who might want to help out for free (or, at least, for an item reward).
Note: It would be wise to bring Eek the Spider from the Halloween 2009 event, as she will offer some words of wisdom on your trip.
When you arrive in Death's house, you'll find yourself in the main reception hall. Talk to Pumpkin Pete to get the party started!
Partying is Such Sweet Sorrow
It should become clear that three problems stand between you and the party to end all parties.
Don't Blame it on the Workshy...
Minstrel Web - the bath tub-dwelling spider of Halloween 2009's event - has been put in charge of lighting, dancefloor and background music, which is too many jobs even for an eight-legged spider. So, she has employed assistant spiders who have disobeyed their master and gone missing, unwilling to help.
To get the spiders back to work, you'll have to find them in the mansion. This means searching any furniture around the house, and trying to convince spiders that they need to do their job. There are four spiders in the open and four spiders hiding, while one of the spiders out in the open will have to be scared into returning to the dancefloor!
Once all eight spiders have been found, they will appear on the dancefloor at the bottom of the mansion. Your objective is to move each spider to the dancefloor tile that corresponds to their colour. This is a difficult task, as moving one spider (which can be done by simply left-clicking) will often move another, so it is wise to keep track of their effects and plan accordingly. The puzzle will only complete once the spiders are on their respective tiles.
Don't Blame it on the Moonshine...
The werewolf backing singers are concerned about their voices, and haven't had a drink for many moons. This would be simple if they didn't ask for moonshine: a drink that few know how to make, and even fewer can drink without dying a grisly death.
You'll need to gather the moonshine ingredients from the buffet table in the main hall of the mansion, and then talk to the three werewolves about the order that they are placed in the vial. Each will offer a clue to creating a correct potion, and failure results in you having to start the potion all over again!
Blame it on the Boogie!
It's hard to imagine Grim being a fanboy of anyone or anything, but it seems he has one guilty pleasure: the music of Zabeth Corvid and his band, Adamantite Damsel. Now the band are in his house, and Grim has developed butterflies in his ribcage; he wants an autograph from Zabeth, but doesn't have the guts (quite literally) to ask him for it.
To get an autograph from Zabeth, you will need to overcome Zabeth's biggest impediment: he is always one conversation ahead of you. To complete a full conversation with Zabeth, you will have to listen to what he says and then guess what dialogue option he is responding to. For example, if he were to say "I'm fine, thank you", he is likely responding to the future question of "How are you?". Keeping this in mind, you should be able to have a full conversation that ends in Grim getting an autograph.
Rewards
With the party popping and everyone dancing, a trip to Pumpkin Pete will end the matter. There are rewards in it for you, including the bone brooch, which turns you into a pile of bones with a single touch, and the Puppet Master emote.
