- Duke Horacio: Great! Thank you!
- Duke Horacio: So, I have seen how much extra work the Lumbridge citizens are putting in recently, what with so many new adventurers in town. I'd like to give them something back.
- Player: And here comes the but...
- Duke Horacio: How did you know? But... I have to stay here in my room as I have so much paperwork to do.

- Player: What do you mean... not quite?
- Duke Horacio: Well, I don't want them to see you deliver it.
- Player: What? Why? How?
- Duke Horacio: Well it kind of looks lazy on my part doesn't it. I'd like you to disguise yourself... as a tree.
- Player: A TREE?
- Duke Horacio: Yes, a festive tree, as if I'd planted the tree near them and it's holding a present for them... isn't that a wonderful idea?
- Player: If by wonderful you mean awful... I suppose you want me to cut bits off trees and stick them to myself and decorate it with something shiny?
- Duke Horacio: How did you know?

- Where do I get the tree branches from?
- Player: Where do I get the tree branches from?
- Duke Horacio: The snowy trees out there look so treemendously festive, you should just use some of their branches, but leave the big one alone. Just take something sharp to them. A knife or some shears should do the job.

- Duke Horacio: Hey, I have a town to run, it's not all it's cracked up to be you know.

Questions about the list
[edit | edit source]- (Options are presented in a scroll interface instead of the chatbox.)
- I have questions about:
- 1: Present for Hans.

- (Lumbridge task list interface opens.)
- 2: Present for Count Check.
- Duke Horacio: Count Check... he's a bit of an odd one isn't he? He's obsesed[sic] with counting. He loves counting, especially shiny things. The other day I was chatting to him and he was completely unable to take his eyes off the golden
- Duke Horacio: rings on my fingers. Perhaps he'd like some of those. However, they're not normal gold rings, like you would make. These I get specially from the apprentice near the furnace.
- (Lumbridge task list interface opens.)
- 3: Present for Gillie.
- Duke Horacio: The lovely Gillie. Such pure white milk she brings us daily. But she is so run off her feet. She often suggests that we should find a magic spell to duplicate her! What a notion. I'm surprised we don't hear the same
- Duke Horacio: complaints from Bob.
- (Lumbridge task list interface opens.)
- 4: Present for Farmer Fred.
- Duke Horacio: Fred? Such a wholesome farmer. He does his job with the chickens and cows well. However, it wasn't his first choice of profession. He wanted to grow fruit trees you know. The one planted in the castle grounds sure did
- Duke Horacio: catch his eye.
- (Lumbridge task list interface opens.)
- 5: Present for Doom Sayer.
- Duke Horacio: He's so gloomy, everything is doom doom doom. He needs some light entertainment. I heard he used to be a friend of Party Pete, in Falador, maybe ask him.
- (Lumbridge task list interface opens.)
