Finished Dealing With Scabaras quest

This was a long quest - lots of running backwards and forwards between the bank north of the agility pyramid, Sophanem, and the archeologists. The section with the golem and the four rooms was the trickiest - it took me several attempts to do the agility room, eventually needing an agility potion to give me a boost. The strength room was easy, and the giant scarab was simple as well. The puzzle room wasn't difficult, but I then realised that I hadn't pulled the lever in the scarab room, so I had to run back in and pull that one. Luckily the scarab did not respawn ...

After finishing the four rooms, I went back to the bank and picked up a prayer pot, super anti-poison and a Recilym's Balm to counteract the disease attacks that were to come. I headed back down into the dungeon and entered the room full of Scabarites. Running past them all, I was poisoned and diseased, but managed to make it to the High Priest. After a brief cutscene we started talking, and I was attacked with melee, so I prayed melee and fought back until he came back to his senses. He then attacked with range, so I prayed range and fought back until he stopped a second time. The next time, he attacked with mage, so I prayed mage and fought back, but this time he didn't stop. Eventually my prayer ran out, despite the pot that I took with me, and my food started to run low, as I fought off the High Priest and the three scarab swarms that he summoned. As his health headed down to zero, so did mine, and just before I could deliver the final blow, my ring of life kicked in and sent me back to Falador - thank goodness for the ring of life!

I decided to take a quick break and do the (very easy) new quest - All Fired Up - which gave a quick 20k gp bonus.

Then back to Scabaras - and this time I loaded up with two prayer pots just in case, and headed back down into the dungeon. This time the Scabarites were a lot more agressive, and I took 40+ damage as I headed to the High Priest. When I got in to the room with the High Priest, I expected another long, gruelling fight, but was suprised to find that I didn't need to do anything. The High Priest apologized for besting me in combat, and promised that the Scabarites would be nice to everyone from now on. Wow - that was easy :)
