Notable features	Runs the Prison random event

Prison Pete is the NPC in the Prison random event in ScapeRune. Evil Bob appears and teleports the player to a prison in ScapeRune. The player must then locate balloon animals that resemble those shown to them when they pull the lever on the wall. A prison key is obtained in the player's inventory. If the key is used on Prison Pete, he will try to unlock the exit gate. The player must give him three correct keys in a row to leave the cell and escape to freedom. Once back in their original location, the player will receive a Random event gift from Prison Pete.

It appears that Prison Pete is the ScapeRune counterpart of Party Pete. Not only do they appear similar, but the prison is a darker, more twisted version of the Party Room with balloon animals instead of inanimate balloons.

Before the Random Events update

Before the Random events update, Prison Pete would not give a Random event gift as a reward. Instead, he would give one of the following (which would be noted if they were not stackable items):

• 10 law runes
• 5 sapphire gems
• 4 uncut ruby gems
• Chaos runes
• 4 Grimy Snapdragon (Rare!)
• Coins
• 3 uncut diamonds
• 6 Grimy Toadflax
• 527 coins
• 2 Ugthanki kebabs
• 47-50 Mithril arrowtips

Trivia

• If you log out during the random event, and return more than 24 hours later, most of your stats will drop down to zero. You will receive a message saying "Your time in prison leaves you strangely weakened."
• If you are mining in the gold mine from Between a Rock and take off your helmet during the random, you will go back to the area without the helmet but wont be teleported out. And if you put the Gold helmet on, you will teleport back.
• If you examine the skeletons in the room, you will find that they have odd descriptions...
  • A tall, skinny.
  • Alas, poor Yojllik, I knew him backwards! (Yojllik is Killjoy backwards)
  • This one's not very fresh.
  • That must be one hungry chicken.
  • The chicken's pecked him clean.
  • He fell foul of the fowl.
  • Endoskeleton Expose.
  • What magnificent femurs!
  • A handy source of calcium, among other things.
• When the teleport spells received a graphical update, this random event did not.
• If a player talks to Prison Pete after he escorts someone else back to RuneScape, he will say, "Don't mind me, I was just leaving."
• The balloon animals don't show up as yellow dots on the minimap.
• Before its update to include a locked gate, the keys originally disabled three magical barriers which blocked the exit, which did not have a door at all.
• Unlike most other NPCs, Prison Pete cannot be walked through.
• If a player trys to use an item on Prison Pete, he will say, "No thanks, I don't want that right now."
