Walkthrough

1. Travel to the Outpost north-west of West Ardougne (directly south of the Tree Gnome Stronghold) and speak to Jorral.

1. Agree to help him. A cutscene will play in which he explains the history of the Outpost and the threat from King Lathas.
2. You must now gather three pieces of history. The three characters (Erin, Droalak and Dron) can be visited in any order. You do not need to return to Jorral until you have all three items.
3. Erin – Enchanted Key & Journal
   Go to East Ardougne market and talk to the Silver merchant Erin at the north-western stall.

1. Ask Erin about the Outpost. He will mention his great-grandfather and an Enchanted key.
2. Ask to borrow the Enchanted key. Erin will give it to you. The key changes temperature as you walk (colder or warmer depending on distance).
3. Travel to the Castle Wars area. Cross both northern bridges and walk to a point roughly four steps north of the east side of the second bridge.
4. When the Enchanted key begins to steam (the message “The key is steaming, it must be right below your feet” appears), dig with your spade to uncover a chest.

1. Use the Enchanted key on the chest to open it and receive a Journal.
2. Droalak – Scroll
   Travel to Port Phasmatys. If you have not completed Ghosts Ahoy you must pay two ecto-tokens to the town guards (or use a charter ship). It is recommended to use Fenkenstrains teleport tab then head east to get to the port.
3. Equip your Ghostspeak amulet (or Morytania legs 2 or higher).
4. Find Droalak near or around the general store in Port Phasmatys and talk to him.

1. Droalak will ask you to give a strung sapphire amulet to his wife Melina.
2. Go to the building directly east of the general store and speak to Melina. Give her the sapphire amulet.

1. Return to Droalak and speak to him again. He will give you a Scroll.
2. Dron – Story of the Outpost
   Travel to Rellekka. Speak to Blanin (found near the dairy churn, east of the Longhall).

1. Blanin will tell you information about his brother Dron on the condition that you do not reveal you spoke to him.
2. Go north of Skulgrimen’s Battle Gear (near the northern-most dock) and speak to Dron.

1. Start the conversation by saying you are after important answers, then tell him he is the famous warrior Dron.
2. Dron will quiz you. Answer every question correctly. The correct answers in order are:
   • He wields an iron mace in battle
   • He eats rats for breakfast
   • He eats kittens for lunch
   • He eats bunnies for tea
   • His favourite drink is red spider blood
   • He is 36 years, 8 months (21 days) old
   • He studies the Fifth and Fourth ages
   • His house is on the north-east side of town
   • His brother’s name is Blanin
   • His pet cat is named Fluffy
   • 5 plus 7 is 12
3. If you answer incorrectly Dron ends the conversation and you must start the quiz again. After answering everything correctly he will tell you the story of the two friends who fought at the Outpost and later became Guthix followers.
4. Once you have the Journal from Erin and the Scroll from Droalak (and have heard Dron’s story), return to the Outpost and speak to Jorral.
5. Give Jorral the Journal and the Scroll. He will write a letter for King Lathas.
6. Travel to Ardougne Castle. Go upstairs to the 1st floor (UK) / 2nd floor (US) and speak to King Lathas. Give him the letter.

1. King Lathas will give you a reply letter promising not to demolish the Outpost.
2. Return to the Outpost and give the letter to Jorral.
3. Jorral will turn the Outpost into a museum. Speak to him one final time to complete the quest.
