Starting out

Talking to Sir Tiffy Cashien before starting the quest

• Player: Hello.
• Sir Tiffy Cashien: What ho, sirrah. Spiffing day for a walk in the park, what?
• Player: ...spiffing?
• Sir Tiffy Cashien: Absolutely, top-hole! Well, can't stay and chat all day, dontchaknow! Ta-ta for now!
• Player: Erm... goodbye.
• (End of dialogue)

Talking to Sir Amik Varze

• Player: Hello Sir Amik.
• Sir Amik Varze: Hello, friend!
• Player: Do you have any other quests for me to do?
• Sir Amik Varze: Quests, eh? Well, I don't have anything on the go at the moment, but there is an organisation that is always looking for capable adventurers to assist them.
• Sir Amik Varze: Your excellent work sorting out those Black Knights means I will happily write you a letter of recommendation.
• Sir Amik Varze: Would you like me to put your name forwards to them?
• Start the Recruitment Drive quest?
• Yes.
  • Player: Sure thing Sir Amik, sign me up!
  • Sir Amik Varze: Erm, well, this is a little embarrassing, I already HAVE put you forward as a potential member.
  • Sir Amik Varze: They are called the Temple Knights, and you are to meet Sir Tiffy Cashien in Falador park for testing immediately.
  • Player: Okey dokey, I'll go do that then.
  • (End of dialogue)
• No.
  • Player: No thanks, that doesn't sound like the kind of thing that would interest me...
  • Sir Amik Varze: As you wish adventurer, let's say no more about it.
  • (End of dialogue)

Talking to Sir Amik Varze again

• Player: Hello Sir Amik.
• Sir Amik Varze: Hello, friend!
• Player: Do you have any other quests for me to do?
• Sir Amik Varze: No, I am afraid not. I suggest you go meet Sir Tiffy in Falador Park, he will be expecting you.
• (End of dialogue)

Talking to Sir Tiffy Cashien after starting the quest

• Player: Sir Amik Varze sent me to meet you here for some sort of testing...?
• Sir Tiffy Cashien: Ah, [player name]! Amik told me all about you, dontchaknow! Spiffing job you did with the old Black Knights there, absolutely first class.
• Player: ...thanks, I think.
• Sir Tiffy Cashien: Well, a top-notch fellow like yourself is just the right sort we've been seeking for our organisation.
• Select an Option
• Testing...?
  • Player: ...testing? What exactly do you mean by testing?
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Jolly bad show! Varze was supposed to have informed you about all this before sending you here!
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Well, not your fault I suppose, what? Anywho, our organisation is looking for a certain specific type of person to join.
  • Player: So... You want me to go kill some monster or something for you?
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Not at all, old bean. There's plenty of warriors around should we require dumb muscle.
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: That's really not the kind of thing our organisation is after, what?
  • Player: So you want me to go and fetch you some kind of common item, and then take it for delivery somewhere on the other side of the country?
  • Player: Because I really hate doing that!
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Haw haw haw What a dull thing to ask of someone, what?
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: I know what you mean though, I did my fair share of running errands when I was a young adventurer, myself!
  • Player: So what exactly will this test consist of?
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Can't let just any old riff-raff in, what? The mindless thugs and bully boys are best left in the White Knights or the Guards, we look for the top-shelf brains to join us.
  • Player: So you want to test my brains? Will it hurt?
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Haw Haw Haw That's a good one!
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Not in the slightest... Well, maybe a bit, but we all have to make sacrifices occasionally, what?
  • Player: What do you want me to do then?
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: It's a test of wits, what? I'll take you to our secret training grounds, and you will have to pass through a series of five separate intelligence tests to prove you're our sort of
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: adventurer.
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Standard puzzle room rules will apply.
  • Player: Erm... what are 'standard puzzle room rules' exactly?
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Never done this sort of thing before, what?
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: The simple rules are: No items or equipment to be brought with you. Each room is a self contained puzzle. You may quit at any time.
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Of course, if you quit a room, then all your progress up to that point will be cleared, and you'll have to start again from scratch.
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Our organisation manages to filter all the top-notch adventurers this way. So, are you ready to go?
  • (Shows other options)
• Organisation...?
  • Player: This organisation you keep mentioning... Perhaps you could tell me a little about it?
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Oh, that Amik! Jolly bad form, did he not tell you anything that he was supposed to?
  • Player: No... He didn't really tell me anything except to come here and meet you...
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Well now old sport, let me give you the heads up and the low down, what?
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: I represent the Temple Knights. We are the premier order of Knights in Asgarnia, if not the world. Saradomin himself personally founded our order
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: centuries ago, and we answer only to him.
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Only the very best of the best are permitted to join, and the powers we command are formidable indeed.
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: You might say that we are the front line of defence for the entire kingdom!
  • Player: So what's the difference between you and the White Knights?
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Well, in simple terms, we're better! Any fool with a sword can manage to get into the White Knights, which is mostly the reason they are so very, very incompetent, what?
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: The Temple Knights on the other hand have to be smarter, stronger, better than all others. We are the elite. No man controls us for our orders come directly from
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Saradomin himself!
  • Player: Cool, you mean I get to meet Saradomin?
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Well, uh, not exactly... Sir Vey Lance, our head of operations, is the only one of our order who has ever personally met Saradomin, but everything he tells us to do is done with
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Saradomin's implicit permission.
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: It's not every job where you have more authority than the king, now is it?
  • Player: Wait... You can order the King around?!?!
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Well, not me personally, I'm only in the recruitment side of things dontchaknow, but the higher ranking members of the organisation have almost absolute power over this kingdom.
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Plus a few others, so I hear....
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Anyway, this is why we keep our organisation shrouded in secrecy, and why we demand such rigorous testing for all potential recruits. Speaking of which, are you ready to begin your
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: testing?
  • (Shows other options)
• Yes, let's go!
  • Player: Yeah, this sounds right up my street. Let's go!
  • If the player does not have an empty inventory or has equipped items:
    • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Well, bad luck old [gal], you'll need to have a completely empty inventory and you can't be wearing any equipment before we can accurately test you.
    • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Don't want people cheating by smuggling stuff in, what?
    • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Come and see me again after you've been to the old bank to drop your stuff off, what?
    • (End of dialogue)
  • If the player has an empty inventory and no equipped items:
    • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Jolly good show! Now, the training grounds location is a secret so...
    • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Here we go! Mind your head!
    • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Oops, ignore the smell! Nearly there!
    • Sir Tiffy Cashien: And... Here we are! Best of luck!
    • (End of dialogue)
• No, I've changed my mind.
  • Player: Well... I don't know... This doesn't really sound like my kind of thing...
  • Player: To be honest, I'd rather go kill stuff for loot than use my mind to work things out...
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Well, it takes all sorts to make the world spin, what? Maybe you'll find a nice job with the Guards sometime.
  • Sir Tiffy Cashien: Sad though, your intelligence file seemed quite promising. Should you change your mind, you come back and let me know, what?
  • (End of dialogue)

The tests

Upon failing a test

• Sir Tiffy Cashien: Oh, jolly bad luck, what? Not quite the brainbox you thought you were, eh?
• Sir Tiffy Cashien: Well, never mind! You have an open invitation to join our organisation, so when you're feeling a little smarter, come back and talk to me again!
• (End of dialogue)

Talking to Sir Tiffy Cashien after attempting the tests once

• Sir Tiffy Cashien: Ah, what ho! Back for another go at the old testing, what?

• Yes, let's go!

• Sir Spishyus: When you have done that, your task is complete.
• Player: Is that it?
