Day 1
Woke up this morning soaked in sweat, I think I might've had nightmares again. This time though, I don't remember a single thing. For a while I've been having this recurring dream that I'm wcing yews in wc guild when all of the sudden Zamorak appears in front of me in all his glory and faces me with a riddle. Every time it's about something related to OSRS and every time so far I've failed, at which point Zammy would start chasing me. I'd run towards ladder leading to upper levels of redwoods and then he'd catch me after which I'd wake up in absolute horror, screaming.
The creaky, claustrophobic stairway descending to basement of my house leads into a small corridor which then splits into two separate rooms; the room on the left is marked with a letter D and on the inside is covered with pipes, boxes of used toys, books etc. while the room on the right has a large "Do not disturb" sign and a small Runescape logo beneath. I never venture to D room unless I absolutely must, I dislike the damp, musty stench of decomposing paper and rusty pipes. The letter D I found to be mysterious ever since I was a kid. When my parents bought the house, the D was already carved on the door like 10 inches above the handle, possibly by previous house owner.
Today, my mom rushed into Do not disturb room after she heard screaming. She quickly opened the door and then slowly entered the room, crouched next to my bed, took out small woolen kerchief from her pocket and wiped off the sweat from my forehead. Her teary, wrinkled eyes were scanning the room for plastic bottles, pizza boxes, cigarette butts etc. but today she found none. I could see tense muscles around her eyes relaxing a bit, as she experienced relief. "P it's been 10 years since your father passed away..." she said with utter exhaustion, her head tilted down towards smudgy wooden floorboards, her eyes focusing on the smudges, her arms resting on my stretched legs on the bed.

"When will you contact J for that job at the supermarket?". Her eyes now fixed at my face. "Mom this isn't the right moment to talk about this, I just had another nightmare and..." "You're 27 years old P." she interrupted me, "...if now's not the time, when can we discuss something as important as your future?" She raised her voice a little bit as she was saying that, even though she knows perfectly well it can induce an anxiety attack. "Just leave okay? I don't need any of your bullshit right now. Leave the fucking room." After I said that she stood up, her face looking completely indifferent now, and exited the room. "...and close the door after you leave, thank you." She closed the door and couple seconds later I could hear the stairs creaking. It took her forever to climb. The sounds gradually diminished into complete silence which was my signal to leave the bed.
After this unfortunate episode with mother, I felt like I needed something asap to calm myself down. I turned on my pc and opened Runelite. I spawned right where I should be, in wc guild bank. I got so many things to do today but I decided to get 68 wc first before I go for my daily farming run. I clicked on a yew tree and went afk for a bit, to get dressed. I sat on my bed and as I was putting on my left sock, I saw a guy standing next to me in OSRS. I saw a yellow text above his character, he was typing something. Still undressed, I approached the pc table again.
"P, you here? Having trouble sleeping lately?" - the guy said. He was lvl 126, wore full zammy robes, had a long black beard and long hair. Around his neck he had a small glowing zammy icon, an item I never saw before. Puzzled by his question, I replied: "How do you know? Who are you?". Zammy69 emoted laughter and then said: "You finally solved my riddle P." The yew tree I was chopping got chopped down in the same tick as he typed that. "Go to the D room, P. Open the box with books. Inside you will find a large black book called "Necronomicon". Turn on the page 666, look at the 6th row on the left page. The 6th word in that row will tell you the item you must obtain next in the game."
After he said that, he logged out before I was able to ask him any further questions. How did he know I was having nightmares? I never told anyone about that except my mother. If he was trolling, how did he know about the D room? How did he know about the riddles? Driven by curiosity, I logged out from OSRS and left my room, a sock still hanging loosely from my left foot. I slowly approached the D room, walking through a faintly lit hallway. As I've opened the door, I immediately got overwhelmed with unpleasant smell. The box with books was conveniently placed right next to the entrance. I snatched the box and left the room immediately. As I was walking back to Do not disturb room, I tripped on my loose sock and the books scattered all over the floor of the corridor. My focus immediately turned to large book which was opened close to its end. The page was 666. I took the book and searched for the 6th word of the 6th row. 6th row read as follows: "...the One with red eyes, Torso as mighty and strong as the beasts of old...". So the word Zammy69 was referring to was "Torso". Does an item like that exist in OSRS? There's only one way to find out...
