A dark house portal has appeared to the south of Falador once again. Tremble as you approach it, for it leads to the house of the Grim Reaper, Death himself!

In this year's Halloween event, Death has a problem with an uninvited guest. Choose to help out and you will journey to a realm rarely trod by creatures with only two feet, and converse with its irritable monarch.

Completing the event will reward you with two new wearable items – one of which has a mind of its own – so seek out the house of Death...if you dare!

We've also created a wallpaper based on this event, which you can download here.

In other news...

We’ve made some improvements to the way banks calculate your free space. Free-players who used to be members will no longer have to dump all their members items to be able to use their banks and everyone can now see their usage in more detail on the interface. For more information, please read the Controls - Banks page.

We've updated the bank to make it automatically resize to fit your screen better. The interface will automatically extend downwards to show you more of your bank items.

Zahur in Nardah, who's moved to the building east of the bank, will now decant all of your potions (in any combination) into 3-dose vials for you. He charges a small fee for this service to cover the cost of any extra vials needed.

We've swapped two tasks in the Ardougne Achievement Diary. The medium diary might look a little odd if you've already completed it, but you should still be able to wear the cloaks for their effects.

An auto re-pick feature has been added when harvesting your mushrooms, berries and fruit from Farming patches.

When collecting a single item at the Grand Exchange, left-click will now withdraw the actual item and right-click will withdraw it as a note. Withdrawals for multiple items will behave as before.

awesome tweaks!!

I found the event quite amusing. Some parts were irritating but the rest was smooth sailing.

No quest, no new emote, stupid reward. Oh well. Thanks Jagex! Here is the reward for it though.
I'll go add the rewards to the submission forum.

i got about halfway through it in the 10 minutes before i left for work...does anyone know what the cape/eek are used for? or if they have any special things to do with them?

Eeek talks to you, and you can interact with him thats it. the cape just looks cool. oh I forgot to check what the emote was *slaps head*

Haha, awesome indeed.

Cape just looks cool. Eek (the spider) is kinda like the Imp from the X-mas event from last year. Not sure if it will go away after the event or not. We have no new emote this year.

NO EMOTE ahhhh that sucks oh well

And I think he will stay if he's one of the rewards then he must be permanent

Well the emote is the fright (whatever the bat thing is) for players who didn't attend the last Halloween event. I unlocked that.

Here's something you can do with Eek the Spider. I had a chat with him

Eek is pretty much used for chatting to, if you're as bored as I was earlier. I've heard it's a "she", which I think has been made more obvious by some complete over-reactions and over-enthusiasm in the way she speaks.

You can dismiss her, but you can get her back from Diango. Unlike the Imp.

And I found the event quite cute and fun, just got majorly frustrated with the Web, and the amount of lag i had whilst "webbing"

What are you implying about us?

The quest was short and sweet, but the rewards are kinda lame - another cape and another pet :/ and I already have the emotes

It's the perfect example of me!
Also, my friend dismissed "Eek!" and it said "Are you sure you want to dismiss her?" or something of the such-like.
I have been having far too much fun with her random conversations.

Ya it's cool now F2p have a pet and a new cool cape, personally I really like the event would be nicer if the cape had some stats but oh well kudos to you jagex

This will be the first holiday event in years that I will not be doing on either character I run. This is partly because I was sick for so much of the time it was available and partly because I loathe maze puzzles, so the web thing was just annoying for me, not fun or clever... and it seemed to go on quite a while. I don't have anything to prove, so why go on with it?

I will be going back to trying to finish up the ardougne achievement diary when next I play... that was fun.
