MishMash's Adventures in Ironman Runescape

Welcome to the Mish Mash Ironman Runescape!


Occasionally, someone on the Mish Mash discord server has an idea. Usually, those ideas are terrible.

This idea was no exception.

This thread is to keep updates on our quest to play Runescape together, but in a mode that prevents any kind of meaningful collaboration. Anyone is welcome to join!

This is Generic McGenericson. Everything about him is completely generic, aside from his orange boots, which he purchased to make himself stand out from the crowd and which he is rather proud of.
Unfortunately, he has had to go by the alias MSCaptMeme due to issues with name length and (amusingly) uniqueness.

Up until now, he has never done anything out of the ordinary - but this unlikely hero is about to begin a journey that will change Gielinor forever...
...Maybe. Depends on how much he's willing to grind.

Spoiler: Tutorial Island
Image

Tutorial Island awaits!

Image

and already Genericson is outperforming real life Meme

anyway, it's time to learn some useful skills!

Image

Woodcutting, the very definition of adventuring. The instructor wants one log, but Genericson isn't here to mess about - he's been chosen as an adventurer, so he's going to adventure to the full!

Image

a path of destruction begins to emerge as Genericson really starts getting into it

Image

it appears that the game does not approve of Genericson's excessive deforestation. Screw the game, this is Genericson's adventure and he gets to decide when he's done

Image

...well, I guess there's a limit on everything. Time to move on to the next task!

Image

um
if you say so

Image

the game is now criticising Genericson for carrying out the stated task. I have some complaints about this tutorial.
anyway, time to learn cooking!

Image

Hrm. Not exactly unexpected given the amount of fire there is here.

Image

Fire's died down a bit and mission successful! Genericson has been sent to learn more elsewhere.
...but he has a great many leftover logs and no clue what to do with them.

Image

it's scorched earth time! Genericson will be the last person to benefit from this beautiful island!

Image

while the island goes up in flames, Genericson hides in a convenient cavern - which also happens to contain the Smithing and Combat instructors! Quite the happy coincidence.

Image

Image

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA SMITHING INSTRUCTOR YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE UNLEASHED ON THIS WORLD

Image

Uhm. These skeletons are evidence that the combat instructor is maybe not as good as he's hyped up to be.
No worries, with the power of the bronze dagger Genericson will prevail!

Image

Victory is ours! Time to move on to the next quest.

Image

wait what

Image

this is too real can we skip this part

hang on... this room doubles as a bank, surely they have some money somewhere?

ahaha I see it

Image

sounds like a challenge
and one that I have the perfect answer to

Image

SCORCHED EARTH GO

Image

dammit
you win this one runescape

anyway, one quick meeting with the prayer and magic instructors later and it's time to leave this island behind!

Spoiler: Blood Pact
Image

Time to go talk to whoever this is!

Image

Um... Genericson is slightly concerned about this person's willingness to rope in the first person to walk past her to deal with cultists, but they'll be no match for the power of the bronze dagger. Letsa go!

Image

this person is supposedly a combat master
why is she following me and not the other way around

Image

well, thanks a bunch, you've been very helpful
but no matter, Genericson is prepared and unafraid

dagger powers activate!

Image

well that was easy

Image
Image

no you can go, I'm aware that it was a bit unfair to come at you with the dagger right off the bat

Image

go away you don't get a say in this

Image

ahhh... this next one is employing the strategy of not being right next to me
this is particularly effective because it removes my ability to use the dagger =/
we will have to resort to inferior weaponry

Image

second cultist dealth with, on to the thi...

Image

STOP FOLLOWING ME

Image

AND STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO

Image

okay apparently she will not let me go down the staircase without doing that
but I have a cunning plan
first we will equip the staff and click on the stairs
and then we will re-equip the dagger once that is done!

SUCCESS! YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR MY EXPLOITS OLD WOMAN

Image

and you are no match for my dagger, old man!

Image

Image

I tried to let this guy go free but he killed himself
rip

Image

no thanks to you
and wait a second, are you saying that as a reward for me doing this quest for you you'll give me the items I already have?

this was a waste of time, none of them compare to the bronze dagger anyway

time to head off to Varrock!

not everything has to end in violence
now they have seen the power of the bronze dagger they will realise they are nothing in comparison and will go back to living normal lives instead of trying to summon Zamorak or whatever these guys were trying to do

Spoiler: Demon Slayer
Image

Varrock! City of the Grand Exchange, something I'm not allowed to use because ironman :(
anyway, time to do some adventuring!

Image
Image

....oooookay then. I guess I'll go do the quest the game wants me to =/

Image

this is the man I'm supposed to go to
he looks like a man with good taste

Image

nevermind
clearly he doesn't appreciate the power of the bronze dagger

but
sigh
if you insist

Image

honestly a sword that shiny is just for showing off
the real hard hitters don't have to look like that

apparently I have to go through three trials to obtain it

Image

bronze dagger time

Image
Image

bring it on scrubs I could do this all day

Image

hm
one of the few problems that cannot be solved with a bronze dagger

Image
Image

alright that's dealt with
trial 3 was trivia and it was over before I got any screenshots

Image

Silverlight is mine! Time to go to the dungeon where this demon apparently is.

Image

this feels wrong

Image

much better
these cultists are probably prepared for someone carrying a huge shiny sword, with a bronze dagger I can stealth and catch them unawares

Image

it worked and the cultists are dead but apparently this dagger has gained the ability to cook dead people (!?)
their corpses all morphed into cooked meat

Image

but what the hell, I'm not a fussy eater

Image

alright, back to Silverlight because the game won't let me use the dagger
I suppose it has to make some fights difficult

Image

#rekt

off to Burthorpe I go!

Image

Hopefully the other players will catch up to me here and the next update will have some guest appearances

Spoiler: Shadow Over Ashdale
Image
I'm happy to announce that we're finally playing multiplayer!
Menno is in the cool armour, I'm in the weird purple suit, and the person on the right was some random player photobombing us
Menno's armour is apparently purely cosmetic so I have better equipment #getrekt

Image
...buuuuuuttttt it also looked cool so now Genericson is a mennoknight also

Image
also Genericson is very disappointed by his lack of a premium beard but his mum won't give him her credit card

anyway
Image
on to the quest!

Image
you may notice a lack of McMenno
it was at this point we realised this quest was instanced and so there was no multiplayer possible
so now we will resume our normal scheduled lonely programming

Image
apparently this godsforsaken isle has been invaded by horrifying creatures!
well, you called the right incredibly generic adventurer for the job! This is nothing the good ol' bronze dagger can't handle.

Image
The dastardly creature emerges!

Image
...and is very quickly dispatched. But clearly there will be more of them.

Image
excuse me sir if you could kindly move out of the way, I have an infestation to deal with

(this was supposed to be a rat killing montage but I only got one picture so I've used some clever techniques to make it look like more than one)
Image
Image
Image
Image

phew. the infestation is finally dealt with and we can return to the surface!

Image
excuse me sir could you please stop blocking the ladder

Image
The surface! but that spiral staircase looks intriguing. Genericson is not one to leave an area unexplored!

Image
Oh gods, it lead to a puzzle.

Image
Image
on we go!

Image
sirs, please, we have gone over this. You're making a scene.

we will now call a short intermission to find out how our multiplayer partner is doing

Image
Image
get rekt

intermission ends

Image
goddammit not another one of these

sir please move out of the w

Image

bloody hell

um, let's just pretend that never happened

Image
as I was saying, Genericson successfully activated the spike traps and continued on his way

Image
alright, there are the citizens being held hostage by the rats
Genericson needs to be prepared for one hell of a fight here

Image
Bronze dagger - Check
Food (quintessential Bread & Fish to take advantage of the infamous Galilee duplication bug) - Check
Cow remains & iron ore - not sure why these are necessary, but Check
Gemstones looted from the village while the villagers were still down here - Check (hey, it's basically an advance payment for saving them)
Backup sword in case the dagger doesn't work - completely unnecessary, but Check[1]
all good to go!

Image
these rats are getting quite large now
has science gone too far

Image
Image
Image

Huzzah! Bronze dagger wins the day again!
I think there was supposed to be a cutscene here but I skipped it by trying to screenshot, so instead I will post this screenshot that I apparently took somewhere and don't remember the context of
Image

anyhow, the citizens of the realm are free!

Image
Image
Image

time to get out of here before they notice the missing Gems

Image

\o/

Image

and with that, Runescape's Tutorial phase is over! The game is no longer directing Genericson's path - from here he will venture out on his own...

oh wait, this was supposed to be multiplayer
Here is Menno's side of the story!

Image

thank you Menno!

Anyway, the game is no longer directing Genericson's path - from here he will venture out on his own...
Image
where will it take him? Find out in the next episode!
(it will probably be somewhere quite noob friendly)



[1]Observant readers will notice one extra item in the inventory. That is apparently a troll and I have no idea what it does, but once it was realised that the quest was singleplayer, Genericson decided to keep it with him to remind him of Menno.

Spoiler: Ernest The Chicken (True Co-op!)
not sure what to do with the giant tutorial arrow no longer present, Genericson decided to wander around and talk to the local populace

Image
Image
Image

these merchants seem to have gone to the Skyrim school of dialogue variance

thankfully there was one person he could talk about his feelings too

Image
Image

anyway, enough about that. Menno came in and suggested the Ernest the Chicken quest as an appropriate test of Genericson's abilities

Image

most importantly,
it's not instanced
! We co-oping!

Image
we will ignore your lack of eyeballs for the sake of this quest, strange woman

Image
spooky houses are no problem for those with bronze daggers!
no monster can stop the great Genericson!

Image
Image
Image

Image

Image
Image

Image

Image

let's... not talk about that. In any case the oil needed for the quest was successfully obtained.

oh look here's some success!

Image

the key lead to an evil skeleton, guarding the piping needed for the quest...

Image

who was no match for the bronze dagger!

the next step was to poison some piranhas in the fountain so a valve could be retrieved from it

Image
Image

hmmmm

anyway, long story short, Genericson then had all the items and easily won the quest with no mistakes whatsoever

Image


Image

Image

A victory is Genericson's! The next quest awaits...
