Ernest the Chicken
Introduction:
Ernest and Veronica are lost, so Ernest goes into the Manor to ask for directions. That was a while ago, so Veronica is worried. She wants you to go into the manor and find Ernest for her.
Items needed:
- Spade (got during the quest)
Length: Medium
Difficulty: Easy
Requirements: Ability to avoid/kill a level 22 skeleton
Location: Beginning of the path to Draynor Manor
The Guide
- Talk to Veronica at the entrance to the Draynor manor Courtyard. She will tell you about Ernest. Agree to help and proceed into the mansion.
- Go up the 2 sets of stairs and talk to professor Oddenstein. He will tell you a machine malfunctioned and turned Ernest into a chicken. He needs you to collect 3 parts to fix the machine.
- Go down the 2 flights of stairs and through the north door. Next, go through the bookcase and down the ladder into the basement.

The Oil Can
- Pull the A and B levers and go through the northeast door.
- 4A.Pull the D lever and go through the southwest door then proceed through the south door.
- 4B. Pull the A and B levers again and open the northwest door then go through the west door followed by the north door.
- 4C. Pull the F and E levers and open the east door then continue through the next east door.
- 4D. Pull the C lever and head back through the northwest door and then through the west door.
- 4E. Pull the E levers and open the east door then the south door followed by another south door.
Rubber Tube
- Now onto the Rubber tube. Head back to the ground floor and go to the southeast corner grabbing a spade in this room.
- Go outside through the door in the back of this room and head around the mansion to the other side. On this side you will find a pile of compost where you will have the option to search it. Either use the search option or use your spade on it and you will find a key.
- Head back into the house and open the door to the small room behind the staircase. This room has a level 22 Skeleton but don’t worry about it. Run in and grab the tube then head back out. You now only have 1 more item to go!

Pressure Gauge
- Lastly is the Pressure gauge. Go back up the staircase and go to the room south of the stairs. Grab the Fish food in this room and go back down the stairs.
Head over to the west side of the mansion and go into the small room next to the kitchen where you will find some Poison, grab it and head outside. - Use the Poison with the Fish food and use your new Poisoned fish food with the fountain in the southwest corner of the lawn, if you want to call it that.
Once you get a message saying the fish have been killed search it and you will find a Pressure gauge.
Go back into the mansion and talk to Professor Oddenstein. He will thank you for the items and turn Ernest back into a human. Ernest is glad he is no longer a chicken and will reward you for your help.
QUEST COMPLETE!
Rewards:
4 Quest points and 300 coins.
I really really think that the blog should have discussion posts and posts with recent runescape updates rather than some really old ftp quest guides on the main page. =P
Move them back to a secondary page if you agree.
Also, do a kind of RSA Behind the Scenes without giving away too much. Ask rita for permission first.
If you don’t get the permission, make a blog post about all the summer updates for runescape, thinking about how good summer was in terms of updates, and rank it. Either that or do it for the entire 2009 year (until the present day of course).
We need remarkable blog posts. Also, do a little experiment with a blog post that can turn rather interesting. Go onto a secondary account and ask people for help. Then hop into your main and wear your sara or zammy and try and ask people for the same help. You will most likely find that the people that don’t really need the help, are the ones that do get it (the rich high levels). Will also make for an interesting blog post, dontchu agree?
One more idea would be looking at how profitable fishing, woodcutting and mining were last summer, and compare it to this summer. Then you will find that they either are more or less profitable, try and track causes, try and precidt the future, and all that.
Some ideas. I’ll be away until the 7th, so bye bye.
