Intrigue, murder and devious plots! Things are afoot once again at the Sinclair Mansion. The family has vanished without a trace. None of their neighbours are very sorry to see them go, but suspicions are aroused when King Arthur and his knights disappear as well...

Your help is needed once again to unravel the Sinclair family's plots. Those of you who have solved the Murder Mystery will be called upon to put your Defence skill to the test: as you act as the defence attorney and disprove the case you built up against them in the first place. All is not as it seems, though, and more people are involved in the kidnapping of King Arthur than is at first apparent.

If you're successful, you'll be invited to train with the Knights of the Round Table. If you can keep up with them, you'll be well rewarded...

Will you be able to deliver a King's Ransom?

Summary

Requirements to start King's Ransom

Black Knights' Fortress
Merlin's Crystal
Holy Grail
Murder Mystery
One Small Favour

Level 45 Magic
Level 65 Defence

In other news...

Seers' Village has undergone a graphical rework and now looks more impressive than ever. If you're in the area, have a look to see the improvements to this thriving little village.

The Party Room previously in Seers' Village has moved to the north-east of Falador, which means all of our free players can now attend other players' parties or host their own! Stop by to celebrate with Party Pete and arrange a balloon drop, or perhaps dance the night away with our expert dancer Megan and dancing knight cabaret.

We've added a feature to the hiscores that you can read about here. This will let you extract your character's stats to use as a signature on other sites with much less effort than trying to link the "full" version of your stats.

If you're lucky enough to catch one, ninja implings can now drop certed dragonhides instead of filling your inventory with the uncerted version. Happy hunting!

Thanks Jagex for doing something for the fan sites for once. This new light version of the high scores will make things much better for both parties. It's faster and uses less bandwidth and server load for everyone.

I've already converted our site over to the new light version. This update gets a 5 from me just for that.

The quest also looks interesting. Another one not for pures

Wonder if the change to the party room also affects scaperune :wink:

Pretty decent, and the prayers are very good too. It'll be hell getting the black armour at peak time though. Buy it now if you're gonna do it, I had to world switch for an hour.

First thing that happened to me after logging in after the update was evil bob. I was pretty surprised actually.

Pity it was the fishing one. >.>

4/5 from me. The miniquest was a little too easy.

The quest look interesting, but it will take some time till I finish it

The Partie Haus moving is great news for F2P'ers

5/5 just because it makes the highscores work more easily.

I can't understand my page (http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=Nightgunner5), but if you can, that's great!

It's simple; first number is your rank, second is skill and third is XP. All skills are in order of highscores.

Yay for expansion of the Camelot quest storyline!

These prayers look interesting, gonna finish this quest and see how good they are.

Pfkninenines · Global Moderator 12/4/08

The prayers are THE best thing to happen to Prayer since the POH. I can't wait till I do the quest...I just have to finish Holy Grail first :oops:

Oh - 60 defense to do the new quest? Hello rants, is that another pure moaning :lol:

I really wanna do the quest but Im too lazy to do it without someone telling me the needed items or a guide to read from.

Ranging God · **Posted:** July 24th, 2007, 9:49 am

I want to do the quest but I need to do one small fav... Which takes a long time I think.

I believe the items needed are;
A lockpick
A lump of Granite (any size)
Bronze Med
Iron Chainbody
Full Black Armour (except shield)
-

So not very much at all. Ardougne and Camelot teleport runes are good too.

gah! party pete's in f2p is a Pmod's worst nightmare. (not to mention tons of noobs wanting "phr33 st00f pl0x" and pulling lever like mad)

Well, at least f2p gets to taste membership once again.

You don't need a lockpick. You can telegrab the guard that's looking in a mirror and get a hairclip.

Anyone know where to find a guide for this quest?
