She says her finace, Ernest, and headed into the Maynor because they were lost and needed directions. Ernest went in to ask, but that was an hour ago. She asks you to help.

Head into the manor and up the stairs. On the second floor, grab the fish food that is in the room with the ghost, then head up another floor using the stone steps. You'll see Ernest (a chicken) and Professor Oddenstein.

Talk to Professor Oddenstein and you'll find out that Ernest was helping him with his experiments and he accidently turned him into a chicken. He can't turn Ernest back unless you help him get three items: a rubber tube, an oil can, and a pressure gauge, all of them scattered around the house due to gremlins.

The Rubber Tube

To get the rubber tube and go back down to the ground floor. You cannot leave the manor from the front entrance - you have to use the back entrance in the southeasternmost room. Head to this south-eastern room and get a spade and leave the manor.

Talking to the Cook in Lumbridge castle

Head north-west around the manor until you find a compost pile. Use your spade with the compost pile and you'll get a small key.

Head back into the Manor, and on the first floor use your key with the door to the room with the skeleton inside (near the staircase). Run inside, grab the tube, and run back out!

You can battle the skeleton if you want, but you don't have too.

The Oil Can

The oil can is the hardest item to obtain. On the first floor, go to the southwestern room, and search the bookcase. You will find a secret entrance. Once in the "secret" room, go down the ladder. Now, you will have do to a combination with the levers and doors to get to the oil can in the locked room. All the levers have names. Pull them in this order:

Lever A | Lever B | Lever D | Lever A | Lever B | Lever E | Lever F | Lever C | Lever E

When you have pulled the levers in the above order, you can enter the western room with the oil can.

Pressure Gauge

To get the pressure gauge, grab some poison from the room with the range in it, on the first floor.

Use this poison with your fish food and head outside. Go to the fountain, and use your poisoned fish food with the fountain.

Return to Professor Oddenstein and give him the items. He'll change Ernest back into a human. Talk to Ernest for your reward.
