Starting out: Talk to Abigale or Hewey in the south-eastern corner of Lumbridge Swamp, near the fishing spots.

There is no written introduction to this one yet. The walkthrough, requirements, items and rewards below are complete.

A self-contained murder mystery on its own island, with three riddles and a puzzle fight. Everything you need is found on the way.

1
Speak to Abigale south-east of Lumbridge Swamp and board the rowboat south of her.
2
Through the gate, pick up the bucket by the fountain to the west, then head north to trigger the first murder cutscene.
- Bucket
3
Use the bucket on the barrel of rainwater, then search the barrel for the manor key.

1
Inside the manor, take the knife from the table and try the door with the red topaz knob to the north. A cutscene plays and the killer slides a note under the door.
- Knife
Pick the note up and read it. The quest does not advance until you have actually read each note.
2
The riddle points at the painting in the room to the south-west — mountains, a blue river, sun on the horizon, on the east wall. Use the knife on it and search it for a ruby key.
3
Doorknob colours match key gemstones throughout the manor, which is how you know which door a key opens.

1
Climb the wall and go north of the manor for another cutscene. You are asked to name the vampyre of South Misthalin; no answer saves Lacey, so pick anything.
2
The second note points at the piano in the north-eastern corner. Get in through the damaged north-eastern wall.
3
Back inside, open the emerald door where the first note was, then try the kitchen doors for the third cutscene and note.
4
The third riddle hides its answer in the first and last letters of each line. Read down the edges rather than the sentences.

1
Open the westernmost door to confront the killer. He hides in wardrobes and throws knives, and a brief black shadow marks which wardrobe he is in.
2
Push the mirror into the same row or column as that wardrobe, then push it at least once more towards it so it faces the wardrobe.
Lining the mirror up is not enough. If it is not turned to face the wardrobe the knife deflects harmlessly instead of coming back at him.
3
Reflect a few knives back at him to finish the fight.
