Some of the planning on Adyna the Harlequin
Ancient Spellbook
Homecoming ApocalypseMany lives were spent during the war erasing Him from memory; desecrating His name and burning the remnants.
Stories from the time before Guthix speak of an Age of Darkness and that a matrix that was constructed to conceal the shadows; to imprison them and the filth that dwelt within. Though the matrix has remained sealed since, the feuding lords would not risk otherwise. And so efforts were made to conceal the matrix and prevent the empty rising. Keys scattered. Locks disguised. The shadows would forever be His prison.
But more than the likes of the light dwell within the unblinking darkness.
Each guardian within the quest is to be treated as a miniquest in itself, not merely a task within a quest. Storylines and such may be miniquest specific. Such as Malak, the creature you fight my not actually be the Guardian; combat isn't even necessary, as with Raunton.

Rambling;
- Spoiler:
- The miniquests as a whole make up six chapters; the conclusion to Desert Treasure, the four beacons, and an ultimatum.
In each of the four beacon chapters there will be a particularly difficult boss and a legendary item (and, possibly, a curse spell - but they may just all be unlocked at the end).
Thorg's Axe, melee weapon.
Robert's Strongbow, ranged weapon.
Dragonhead Gauntlets, multi-class weapon (lol, the guantless aren't armour).
So, do we have armour? Or a magic weapon? Magic does kinda have the whole spellbook... the only other thing left really is prayer, defence and summoning.
I mean, we could have several new familiars based on the enemies... sandworms ftw? So they're covered. We could make the beacons recharge prayer with a 50% boost (since they were originally an entrance to the gods' guild, we might as well still make them godly). All that's really left now is defence. But which class? Maybe Magic, since Melee and Ranged have god-armour for the old gods; "Ancient Robes", to match the Ancient Staff. That way, it's magic and defence! And I think the difficulty of this quest matches the difficulty to obtain Bandos' and Armadyl's... kinda.
The Dragonhead Guantlets is two-handed weapon. Their design is of two Dragonheads... only of dragons more similar to Draco from Dragonheart (the film; the shape is less slender/snake-like... and more bulky). These would be like huge caricature fists! The melee attack is obvious; the ranged attack has it spit ash; and the magic attack fires small bursts of dragonfire (basically a more yellow fire blast/wave).Requires level 70-90 in all classes, and is like the Salamander (only better).
Fog Robes (Magic and Defense, Fog Guardian)
Dragonhead Gauntlets (universal weapon, Ash Guardian)
Thorg's Axe (melee weapon, Lightning Guardian)
Robert's Strongbow (ranged weapon, Gust Guardian)
Spells... all of them (magic weapon, All Guardians)
Familiars, a few new ones. (summoning, Specific Guardians)
Prayer boost at beacons (prayer, Quest Completion)
Some of the planning on Adyna the Harlequin
- Spoiler:
- She could create a duplicate version of Brimhaven dungeon, only, magical. And instead of chase the ticket, chase Adyna.
Then a chamber of mirrors, only the reflections in the mirrors are somewhat alive. In that, if you try to walk through, ouch! Even if the reflection is of you! The reflections should also beckon you, like; "Here, come this way!"
The final fight would be direct, only, as well as any other attacks, she'll make use of the Illusory curse. She will only use it periodically, but it has a somewhat altered effect to that which players will be able to use. When Adyna uses Illusory, she stops attacking. All her duplicates will swarm you, like in usual multi-combat, including Adyna, all appearing to be attacking you... but you'll receive no damage. If coding must, you'll have loads of 0 splashes, else, it'd be invisible nothing (this is so it's still treated as combat). When you select one of the replicas, or the real, as a target, it will retaliate and do real damage. If you choose the real Adyna, all replicas disappear, if not, only that copy does. The spell wears off itself after about 30 seconds.
With the player version of the spell, the replicas are incapable of damage entirely. If you attack a clone, it vanishes, wasting the attack (since RuneScape uses a turn-based combat system). The user of the illusory spell can either peg it, or stay and fight. Now normally, the highest hitting target attracts the auto-retaliate feature; so you'd pick out the caster if he stayed. However, Illusory's fake attacks trick the system into thinking they are all hitting random high-damage (though
you'll lose no health). So your player would randomly shift around attacking random ones, never the caster.
Ancient Spellbook
- Spoiler:
You may only have two of the four chapters open at any one time. When
you pray at ones respective altar, you will be given the choice as to
which you wish to replace. The teleports and curses are open exempt to
any chapter, though the curses are PVP only (excluding Castle Wars and
Duel Arena).

Segment one contains the battle spells.
Segment two contains the teleportation spells.
Segment three contains the curse spells. PVP only (not PVP-world only, there's a difference).
You can reposition a segment by dragging it's divider bar (up or down).
X1 orders the spells by element.
X2 orders the spells by level.
All five chapters are graded between 1 and 5; and when the player chooses their chapters, the spells will be alternated, such as; Smoke, Ash, Shadow, Sand, Blood, Stone, Ice, Bone, etc. Aside from spells in the lowest and highest grade, all spells would have two possible levels (depending on which chapter they are paired with).

Anyway, here's Miasma!
Due to the nature of the environment and Miasma, this could be the chance to use the "mirror" idea, in a sense. Adyna could slow down the player (both Movement and Attack Speed - Pace? -) and teleport around the chamber.
I have thoughts for the final fight, let's say that I drew inspiration from Dream Mentor...

You fight Adyna in your head and in reality, fragmented cutscenes?

Since the Mountain guardian is an Agility Course of sorts, Adyna will cast Occulsive Spells, causing you to run funny. I think this is enough.

Did you post Ramesh? Note, Ramesh is the only form where Adyna isn't involved directly (whilst she is directly part of Zuriel, Drystan, Mud and her own). With Ramesh, she is merely encountered outside and Ramesh is never seen until after.

She steals the Miasmic Diamond and she drops the correct 5th Diamond for the Desert Beacons, Facade.

Facade - Since this fight would take place in the Forthinry Dungeon, I think Adyna would run around casting Facade spells to cut off your path and to box you in with monsters. Simply catch up and hit her enough. (Ice Spells are super effective!)
Illusory - Since she just tormented Drystan by creating many copies of herself, I'd imagine should would switching places with her copies (similar to that Ball and Cup game). If you attack the wrong clone, it will retaliate before disappearing, hitting Adyna herself would cause all the other clones to disappear.
Miasmic - Due to the nature of the Ramesh's lair and Miasma, this could be the chance to use the "mirror" idea, in a sense. Adyna could slow down the player (both Movement and Attack Speed - Pace? -) and teleport around the chamber.
Occulsive - Since the Mountain guardian is an Agility Course of sorts, Adyna will cast Occulsive Spells, causing you to run funny.
Mind - In the final beacon, Adyna will cast Mind spells, which cause your attacks to hit (insert object fitting with the area) and they will retaliate. Moreover, Adyna will periodally connect minds with you as you fight. When this happens, you will see a glimpse of Adyna's past adn you will have to force her out of your mind, as she is still attacking you.

Appearantly, we do need a Soul Guardian. I still like the Spirit World idea.

Yeah, sounds aboooooot right. 
And yes, us and Dusk haven't yet finished him throwing ideas at me and me not liking it.
I still like the Spirit World idea. Perhaps combine them... the real-world version is a Phoenix, and the spirit-world is a business man.

I say we could have some more back story on the Revenants, the duality element of the Spirit World could make this very interestin.

Revenants are quite solid aren't they? The magic of the war imprinted them so hard into the terrain...
M'yeah, anything really. Duality is just the cool part.

We can simply make a guardian who was cursed along with the Revenant.

Well, the guardian could have been a scourge of the battlefield, killing all those around him. Although Zamorak gave him the Soul Diamond, as he would be a powerrful guardian, he continued to slaughter all. However, the Soul Diamond reacted poorly to the continuous release of souls and switched the Guardian's soul with his victims: he was forced onto the Spirit Realm, and the spirits of the realm were bound to this one.
