The Ring of Malkav

  Quest Description

  As the shroud of the Underworld grows thinner, more and more creatures as well as artifacts come through to our side. One of the most recent discoveries is that the Ring of Malkav, that has been stored in a sealed temple in the Underworld for centuries, has gone missing.

  As Malkav went into torpor, he left several artifacts behind him, one was this ring. Both known as Ring of Malkav as well as the Ring of Insanity, it is a powerful item that twists minds in unspeakable ways. The location of the temple, from which is disappeared, is located in the Underworld's equivalent to the King Black Dragon's dungeon. This is, however, no coinsident. This particular realm of the Underworld has been under the power influence of the ring for a long time, and its madness has managed to slip through to our side, which is a speculated cause of the immense power the King Black Dragon holds.

  Wraiths, enslaved by Malkav to watch over his ring, have claimed that the ring has simply slipped through the shroud. If that is true, the ring must be located directly in the King Black Dragon's lair.

  Your mission is to retrieve this ring, which looks just like any normal gold ring. But it's not quite that simple. You see, this is a ring of high supernatural powers. It bends and tears brains apart into a deranged mess. To be able to carry the ring, your own mind must be protected from its powers. To do so, you may not carry anything made out of metal -- no armour, no weapon, no amulets, no shield. The power of runes disrupts your aura and enables the ring to affect you, but there is one exception -- Mind Runes. Mind Runes have the opposite affect -- they protect you.

  So this is what you need to do:
  You must not wear anything made out of metal, you must carry 1,000 Mind Runes with you, but no other runes, and you must collect the ring from the King Black Dragon's lair. When you have the ring, you must get rid of it. You shall do so in a place where no one is likely to find it -- the swamp of Lumbridge. Drop it there, and let it sink into the ground.

  (To ensure that you have taken the correct ring, and without wearing anything made out of metal or any runes besides the 1,000 Mind Runes, you must take a screenshot of your inventory as you pick up the ring in the Black Dragon's Lair. Your character must also be visible, so that it's clear that he or she is not wearing anything made out of metal. Then take another screenshot as you drop the ring in the swamp. Again with the inventory and your character fully visible. Then post the images on the forum. If you don't know how to upload an image, just do it here: http://www.imageshack.us/.)
