Slug Menace, The

1. Speak to Sir Tiffy Cashien in Falador Park and ask him for a job. He will tell you to report to Col. O'Niall, a retired Templar Knight, in the Witchaven village. You will be told to remember the password, "In Falador, the geese fly backwards on Tuesdays." Before he permits you to leave, he will update your Commorb to a Commorb v2 for the new mission.
   
   Note: If you have previously lost or destroyed your Commorb, then Sir Tiffy Cashien will give you one.

2. Make your way to the fishing village of Witchaven, east of Ardougne and head towards the fishing pier in the far northeast part of the village. Talk to Col. O'Niall about the mission. He will tell you that Mayor Hobb has been acting weird and that villagers are disappearing and then reappearing the next morning in a dazed state. Ask him who the important people in the village are and he will tell you to speak to Mayor Hobb, Brother Maledict, and Holgart the fisherman.

She will then tell you that the markings on the door are ancient Saradomin runes and that you will need to take a Door transcription to Jorral at the Outpost northwest of West Ardougne. Before you leave, pick up the Dead sea slug from the ground. Savant will contact you and scan the Dead sea slug.
   
   Note: Do not touch the imposing doors or you will take 50 damage.
