A woman cries as a man lays dying, desperately they beg you to stop a cryptic killer before their friends suffer a similar fate. Welcome to Halloween 2016!
This event is available in both members and free-to-play worlds.
Make your way to Lumbridge Swamp, speak to the grieving Abigale and she'll lend you her boat to track down this mysterious killer.
Unfortunately, the boat isn't very sturdy. You'll need to leave all your items in the bank if you wish to stop the killer.
Rewards
Should you manage to survive the night, for completing this event you will be rewarded with a scream inducing mask and a set of robes to match, as well as the killer's own blade.
And, as always, you'll also receive all of the rewards earned from previous Halloween events:
- Anti-Santa's new, comfortable attire.
- A new, deathly wallkit for your player-owned house.
- The Ash emote.
- These two additional skin colours from the Makeover Mage:
- Skeleton outfit.
- Scythe.
- Jack lantern mask.
- Zombie head.
- The Scared emote.
- Black h'ween mask.
- Grim reaper hood.
- Pumpkins.
- Red, blue and green h'ween masks.
- An additional green skin colour from the Makover Mage.
