Starting out
Speaking to Thormac
First time
- Thormac: Hello I am Thormac the Sorcerer, I don't suppose you could be of assistance to me?
- What do you need assistance with?
- Thormac: I've lost my pet scorpions. They're lesser Kharid scorpions, a very rare breed. I left their cage door open, now I don't know where they've gone. There's three of them, and they're quick little beasties. They're all over Runescape.
- So how would I go about catching them then?
- Player: So how would I go about catching them then?
- Thormac: Well I have a scorpion cage here which you can use to catch them in.
- Thormac gives you a cage.
- Thormac: If you go up to the village of Seers, to the North of here, one of them will be able to tell you where the scorpions are now.
- What's in it for me?
- (Same as below)
- Ok, I will do it then.
- Player: Ok, I will do it then.
- What's in it for me?
- What's in it for me?
- Player: What's in it for me?
- Thormac: Well I suppose I can aid you with my skills as a staff sorcerer. Most battlestaffs around here are a bit puny. I can beef them up for you a bit. If you go up to the village of Seers, to the North of here, one of them will be able to tell you where the scorpions are now.
- So how would I go about catching them then?
- (Same as above)
- Ok, I will do it then.
- (Same as above)
- So how would I go about catching them then?
- I'm not interested then.

Afterward
- Thormac: How goes your quest?
- If [Player lost or destroyed the cage]

- Thormac: Ok, here's another cage. You're almost as bad at losing things as me.
- If [Player has not caught all the scorpions yet]
- Player: I've not caught all the scorpions yet.
- Thormac: Well remember to go speak to the Seers, North of here, if you need any help.

- The seer smoothes his hair with his hand.
- Seer: I can see a scorpion that you seek. It resides in a dark place, between a lake and a holy island. There by the entrance shall you find it. So close and yet so far.
- Player: That was cryptic. Can't you just tell me where it is?
- Seer: Where would be the fun in that?
- I need to locate some scorpions.
- Player: I need to locate some scorpions.
- Seer: Well you have come to the right place. I am a master of animal detection. Do you need to locate any particular scorpion? Scorpions are a creature somewhat in abundance.

Obtaining the Dusty key
- Velrak the explorer: Thank you for rescuing me! It isn't very comfy in this cell.
- So... do you know anywhere good to explore?
- Player: So... do you know anywhere good to explore?
- Velrak the explorer: Well, this dungeon was quite good to explore ...until I got captured, anyway. I was given a key to an inner part of this dungeon by a mysterious cloaked stranger! It's rather tough for me to get that far into the dungeon however... I just keep getting captured! Would you like to give it a go?
- Yes please!
- Player: Yes please!
- Velrak reaches somewhere mysterious and passes you a key.
- No, it's too dangerous for me too.
- Player: No, it's too dangerous for me too.
- Yes please!
- Do I get a reward?
- Player: Do I get a reward? For freeing you and all...

- Player: Hi, I've retrieved the first scorpion.
- Seer: Well, I've checked my looking glass. The second Kharid Scorpion has been spirited away by a brute of a man. He runs a shop in a village two canoe trips from Lumbridge. That's all I can tell you about that scorpion.
- Player: Any more scorpions?
- Seer: It's good that you should ask. I have information on the last scorpion for you. It seems to be in some sort of upstairs room. There's some brown clothing lying on a table nearby.
- Player: Oh come on now! Brown clothing? That's not a clue!
- Seer: Alright alright! The clothing is adorned with a golden four-pointed star. Happy now?
- Player: Not really.

- I've heard you have a small scorpion in your possession.
- Player: I've heard you have a small scorpion in your possession.
- Peska: Now, how could you know about that, I wonder. Mind you, I don't have it anymore. I gave it as a present to my brother Ivor when I visited our outpost in the west. Well, actually I hid it in his room so it would nip him. It was a bit of a surprise gift.
- Player: So where's this outpost?
- Peska: It's a fair old trek to the west, across the White Wolf Mountains. Then head west, north-west until you see the axes and horned helmets.
- Player: Thanks for the information.
- Peska: No problem! Tell Ivor I said hi!
