Begin Quest: Start by speaking to Rat Burgiss who is located south of Varrock at the forks in the road.

Speak to Rat Burgiss, located next to a broken-down cart at the forks of the road south of Varrock. He will tell you he was attacked by a band of outlaws and that papers valuable to him were stolen! Your job is to get them back.

Rat will give you a folder in which you need to place five papers. Head up to Varrock. If your agility level is high enough, walk around the western side of the castle to the shortcut under the wall. If you cannot use the shortcut, travel around the outer wall of the castle until you come to the western side. Head a little southwest from the wall, and you will find the outlaw camp. Kill five outlaws and retrieve the paper each one drops. Use them with the folder until the folder is full. Take this back to Rat.

Rat will take the folder from you and ask you to deliver a letter to Surok Magis, located in the library of Varrock Palace. After a couple of insults, Surok will take the letter from you, only to destroy it! Surok will tell you he's discovered a spell that turns clay into gold bars, but to cast it he needs you to retrieve a bowl and a metal wand infused with chaos magic. Surok will give you the metal wand and Sin'keth's diary. He tells you to take the wand and 15 chaos runes to the Chaos Altar and use the wand on the altar. You will also need to have either a chaos talisman or a chaos tiara to complete the infusion. Surok also tells you of a tome somewhere in the library that will help you get to the Chaos Altar while avoiding the wilderness. Search the bookcases until you find the tome. Read the tome, and then read the diary Surok gave you. It tells of a tunnel built under the statue of Saradomin east of Varrock that leads to the Chaos Altar.

Follow the path east out of Varrock and head north. There you will find the statue of Saradomin. Try excavating the statue, and Anna Jones will tell you that you need a bronze pickaxe to excavate, due to the spells of protection placed upon the statue. Acquire a bronze pickaxe and excavate the statue. Climb through the open hole and now you will be in the tunnel! Make sure you either have your chaos talisman, or you are wearing your chaos tiara. Also, be sure to have your chaos runes with you. Follow the tunnel to the portal and step through it. You will be transported one level above the chaos altar. On your minimap, click the patch of dirt on the northwestern side that has the ladder; this is the correct ladder you need to go down to get to the altar. Now, use your wand with the altar. You should now have an infused wand! If you go back up one level to the portal you entered through, you will be taken back to the tunnel. However, if you use the portal east of the altar, you will be taken to level 9-10 wilderness! Varrock teleport will be handy to have here.

Now, take your infused wand and the bowl back to Surok. He will tell you he needs time to prepare his spell, and give you a letter to take to Rat. If you read the letter, it reveals that there is a plot to overthrow King Roald! Give the letter to Rat, and he will reveal to you that he is not a trader, but the Commander of the Varrock Palace Secret Guard! Rat will tell you that the spell Surok was working on was not to turn clay into gold, but a mind control spell he plans to use on the king, and the components you brought him were the things he needs to complete the spell! To undo the wrong you unknowingly commited, Rat tells you to visit one of his contacts in Varrock: Zaff, the mage that runs the staff shop just west of the fountain in Varrock Square. Speak to him, and he will tell you he has created a spell to remove the mind control from the king. For the spell to work, King Roald must be severely weakened. Zaff tells you that once you have the king weakened, summon him and he will cast the spell. He gives you a beacon ring and some instructions. Read the instructions. Now you're ready to confront Surok!

Go back to Surok and talk to him. You will basically tell him the jig is up! He will, of course, resist arrest, and he tells you the king is under his control now. You must now fight King Roald (level 47). Fight him until you get the message, "Now would be a good time to summon Zaff!" Operate the beacon ring and Zaff will appear and cast the spell upon King Roald, thus setting his mind right again. Together, the two of you will attempt to arrest Surok. He will, of course, try to teleport out of the palace, but Zaff has set a block upon the library, and Surok's spell is corrupted. Zaff tells you Surok will remain in the library under guard from now on. Go back and talk to Rat, and you're done!
