Talking to Lady Grey or Zommy 'Brains' Walker

Lady Grey: Hey there! So, word on the street is that you're the one helping us dead folk to settle here.
Player: Er, sure, I guess you could put it like that. Player's the name, pleased to meet you...
Lady Grey: You can call me Lady Grey - that's my stage name, any road - and I wonder if you could help me bring some LIFE back to this place...
Player: I'm not sure that's how this works. I think you have to pretty much be dead to come here, save for a couple of exceptions.
Lady Grey: No, no, no. Not life; LIFE! Music! Jazz! I want to get my old band back together - won't you be a doll and lend a hand?
(If the player isn't able to open interfaces:)
- You cannot do that right now.
- (Repeated in a pop-up:)

  - Not Right Now
    - Lady Grey: Well, I'll be here should you change your mind.
  - Accept Quest
    - Player: An undead jazz band? I mean, sure, why not?
    - Lady Grey: That's aces! All I need is some cool cats to play with and my old axe, and we're golden.
    - Player: Cats can play instruments?
    - Lady Grey: Not actual cats! I just need my sidemen - I'd say a trumpeter, pianist and drummer would do it.
    - Lady Grey: But let's just start with my axe - once I start noodlin', we'll get some interest. If we build it, they will come.
    - Player: So you want an axe? We talking hatchet or battleaxe here? Dual-wield or a two-hander?
    - Lady Grey: What? No, a guitar, silly.
    - Player: Oh, you need a guitar? I can do that.
    - Lady Grey: Not just any guitar, my new friend. I want MY old axe back...from when I was alive.
    - Lady Grey: My mortal instrument, if you will. Ghost guitars just don't cut it.
    - Lady Grey: I left instructions for me to be buried with it. It was my most favourite thing in the whole world.
    - Lady Grey: They said I couldn't take it with me, and I guess they were right...but maybe you could bring it to me instead?
    - Player: I can but try. So, er, where were you buried? I can just pop to the surface world and rob your grave now.
    - Player: Just, you know, respectfully?
    - Lady Grey: Oh, that won't be neccesary^[sic]. My mortal remains are interred in Lumbridge Catacombs, but I loaned my guitar to an old necromancer friend.
    - Lady Grey: Dragith Nurn - he started out bad, but learned the error of his ways and made amends.
    - Player: Oh, so I should just go to Lumbridge Catacombs and ask Dragith Nurn for your guitar back?
    - Lady Grey: Oh, no, you'll have to beat the ectoplasm out of him...and you MUST use necromancy to do so! His mind has deteriorated over the centuries and he's no longer himself.
    - Player: I'll try to be gentle.

Lady Grey: You found her! My guitar!
Hand guitar to Lady Grey?
- Yes.
  - Player has Lady Grey's guitar removed from them.
  - Player receives Necromancy XP lamp (My One and Only Lute).
  - 10 souls fly over to power the vessel.
  - Congratulations! You have completed: 'My One and Only Lute' - Complete this miniquest.

  - Lady Grey: My axe, friend - my gui-tar!
  - Lady Grey: And look who else I found while you were away...our fifth band member, Big Al!
  - Player: What? Where?
  - Big Al: Down here. Under foot.
  - Player: Apologies, I thought you were just a footrest? Hi, Big Al!
  - Big Al: I get that a lot. Hello.
  - Lady Grey: Now I'm good to start jamming, I wonder if you could help me with the rest of my band...
  - Ask about which band member?
    - (If you haven't helped the trumpeter:) Trumpeter.
      - (Before the trumpeter arrives:)
        Lady Grey: Last time I saw my old trumpeter - Murray - he was diving off the ritual site to escape that necromancer dude.
        
        Lady Grey: Always was a quick thinker, that one. I reckon you just need to entice him back with a communion ritual.
        
        Lady Grey: Though he gets bored easy, short attention span. You'd need to add a bit more speed to your rituals, I'd say!
        
        (Without at least 45 Necromancy:)
        Player: A speed alteration glyph might work, but I'm not experienced enough to use one of those just yet.
        
        To entice Murray back to the City of Um requires level 45 Necromancy.
        
        (Shows the previous options.)
        
        (With at least 45 Necromancy:)
        Player: A speed alteration glyph might work! I'll draw one of them next time I perform a lesser communion ritual.
        
        (Shows the previous options.)
      - (After the trumpeter arrives:)
        Lady Grey: Hey, you convinced Murray to join us in Um. You should talk to him about his instrument.
        
        (Shows the previous options.)
    - (If you haven't helped the pianist, without at least 50 Necromancy:) Pianist.
      - Lady Grey: Ah, my pianist, Zommy. Last I saw him, he was hanging with the former Master Crafter. I expect they'll both join us soon enough...
      - To have Zommy arrive in Um requires 50 Necromancy.
      - (Shows the previous options.)
    - (If you haven't helped the pianist, with at least 50 Necromancy:) Pianist
      - Lady Grey: Hey, Zommy's finally showed up. You should talk to him about his instrument.
      - (Shows the previous options.)
    - (If you haven't helped the drummer:) Drummer.
      - Player: What about your drummer?
      - Lady Grey: Last time I saw ol' Rhythm, they were hiding away inside that hulk, Hermod...
      - Player: Inside? How does that work?
      - Lady Grey: Oh, yeah, Rhythm is a phantom, can hide in pretty much anything. I say you should beat the snot out of that Hermod bully and rescue my drummer!
      - (If you haven't completed The Spirit of War:)
        To rescue Rhythm requires level 65 Necromancy and completion of The Spirit of War quest.
        
        (Shows the previous options.)
      - (If you have completed The Spirit of War:)
        Player: How will I know what to look for?
        
        Lady Grey: Once you find their drumsticks, bring them to me!
        
        (Shows the previous options.)
    - None right now.

      - Player: What's wrong with it?
      - 'No Gums' Murray: It's just...dead. Like, a relic, you dig?

      - 'No Gums' Murray: Splitting hairs, daddy-o. I mean it's got no soul...er, [brother/sister].

Player: Do you need me to find another instrument? What does Zommy play?
Lady Grey: Piano!
Player: Er, you know, I can fit an absurd amount of stuff in my backpack, but I don't think a full piano is going to be possible...
Lady Grey: Not to worry, Zommy just needs to remember what it looks like and...
(Quest Overview interface opens.)
- Not Right Now
  - Zommy 'Brains' Walker: ...nothing interesting happens. What's up, Zommy, forgotten what pianos look like again?^[sic]
- Accept Quest
  - A keyless piano appears on the bandstand in front of Zommy.
  - Lady Grey: There! One piano!
  - Player: Huh, so that's how remembering things into existence here works?
  - Player: Give me a moment, just trying to remember what a blue party hat looks like...
  - Lady Grey: Sorry, it only works for us dead folk.
  - Lady Grey: Oh, hold up... What's that, Zommy?
  - Zommy 'Brains' Walker: Keeeeeeeys.
  - Lady Grey: What good is a piano without keys? Where are they?
  - Zommy 'Brains' Walker: Keeeeeeeys.
  - Lady Grey: Yeah, I suppose that could work.
  - Zommy 'Brains' Walker: Keeeeeeeys.
  - Lady Grey: I'll tell them, don't be so impatient.
  - Lady Grey: So, Zommy told me he arrived at the same time as the Former Master Crafter. They might be able to help make some new keys.
  - Lady Grey: They should be over in the pottery just north-east of here, in the alley beside the house boat. If you hit the boathouse you've gone too far?
  - Player: Behind the house boat, not the boathouse. That's confusing.
  - Lady Grey: There's a spinning wheel there; it should be marked on your map.
  - Player: Alright, to the spinning wheel it is!
  - Player: Okay, I'll go see if I can get some white and black piano keys from the Former Master Crafter.

Talking to Former Master Crafter

Before crafting any piano keys

Player: Hi.
Former Master Crafter: What do you want, young'un?
What would you like to say?
- Ask about piano keys.
  - Player: Hi, I was wondering if you might be able to help with some piano keys. I'm in need of a full set and, apparently, you might be able to craft some?
  - Former Master Crafter: Wait, would this be for Zommy and the band? I would love to help out, I'm a big fan.

    - 25 souls fly over to power the vessel.
    - (Repeated in a pop-up:)

      - (Continues below.)
  - Former Master Crafter: If you are happy to go and collect some materials, I'd happily make some piano keys for you.
  - Player: What materials do you need?
  - Former Master Crafter: I reckon some necromancy runes would do it - a true jazz pianist needs a touch of that old black magic, and Zommy is a real one.
  - Player: More specifically?
  - Former Master Crafter: Hmm, I'd say some bone runes for the white keys, and some flesh runes for the black keys.
  - Player: Flesh and bone describes Zommy to a tee. How many of each?
  - Former Master Crafter: Let's say ten runes per key, so that would be 520 bone runes and 360 flesh runes. Feel free to bring them in batches.
  - (If you have any 10 batches of bone runes:)
    - Former Master Crafter: Say, do you want me to craft some of those bone runes into white piano keys for you?
