Defeat and collect three Skeletons from the Underworld.

== Quest information ==
=== Objectives ===
* Enter [[the Underworld]].
* Use the [[Everlasting Mobstopper]]s to trap [[Skeleton of Dhuum|Skeletons of Dhuum]].
* Bring 3 [[Captured Skeleton]]s to the Mad King's steward {{sic|'steward' is lowercase}} for a reward.

=== Reward ===
* 10,000 [[Experience]]
* 1,000 [[Gold]]
* 25 [[Trick-or-Treat Bag]]s

== Walkthrough ==
Similar to the previous quest, you will need to enter the Underworld by the regular means. The [[character]] must be [[Ascension|Ascended]], [[Weh no Su]] or have completed [[Hunted!]] to be able to enter the Underworld (but see [[#Notes|Notes]]). All foes in the Underworld will return to their regular [[spawn]]s and [[patrol]]s. The closest Skeleton of Dhuum can be found immediately at the starting point.

Explore The Underworld until you encounter a Skeleton of Dhuum. After weakening the Skeleton of Dhuum (to approximately 25% health) or simply killing it, double-click on the Everlasting Mobstopper in your [[inventory]] to capture it. Dead Skeletons of Dhuum can only be captured while its corpse is still visible. Multiple players are able to capture the same Skeleton of Dhuum. After capturing the Skeletons of Dhuum, you can continue in The Underworld or [[map travel]] to the Mad King's Steward for your reward. The quest requires at least three Captured Skeletons to complete, but nothing is preventing you from capturing all of the Skeletons of Dhuum in The Underworld.

== Dialogue ==
=== Initial dialogue ===
;Mad King's Steward
:''"The Mad King, whom I serve most obediently, appears more concerned about dripping pie filling on his invisible pony than the possible return of Dhuum. Though I am unworthy to speculate about the thickness of his head, I can see in his empty eyes that he doesn't consider one skeleton evidence of an uprising. Would you mind capturing a few more of Dhuum's minions? Naturally, I will reward you for every batch of evidence you bring."''
{{offer dialog
|accept = I'm on my way.
|decline = You're all insane. Stay right here while I go way over there.
}}
:If your character has at least one Everlasting Mobstopper in inventory or your inventory is not full:
::{{Ask}} '''Ask:''' ''"Use an Everlasting Mobstopper {{sic|Should be 'Everlasting Mobstoppers' or '3 Everlasting Mobstoppers' instead of 'an Everlasting Mobstopper'}} to capture 3 [[Minion of Dhuum|minions of Dhuum]] {{sic|Should be 'skeletons of Dhuum'}} in the Underworld."'' {{sic|Should be 'skeletons of Dhuum'}} (The following appears in your [[chat window]]: ''"Mad King's Steward hands you 3 Everlasting Mobstoppers."'')
:If your character does not have a Everlasting Mobstopper in inventory and your inventory is full:
::{{Ask}} '''Ask:''' ''"Use an Everlasting Mobstopper {{sic|Should be 'Everlasting Mobstoppers' or '3 Everlasting Mobstoppers' instead of 'an Everlasting Mobstopper'}} to capture 3 minions of Dhuum {{sic|Should be 'skeletons of Dhuum'}} in the Underworld.Your {{sic|No space between the period and 'Your'}} inventory is full. Please make room and speak to me again."'' (The following appears in your chat window: ''"Mad King's Steward tries to hand you 3 Everlasting Mobstoppers, but your inventory is full."'')

=== Reward dialogue ===
;Mad King's Steward
:''"Well done! On behalf of my liege, I thank you. The more crystallized skeletons I show him, the brighter his candle burns. For this reason, my offer remains open: capture more minions and claim more rewards."''

== Notes ==
* The [[Quest Log]] displays ''"Mad King's Steward (Lion's Arch)"'' even if your character acquired this quest in Kamadan.
* A character that cannot enter the Underworld can still complete this quest as long as another character on the [[account]], that can enter the Underworld, collects and places the [[Captured Skeleton]]s in [[storage]] so the other character can turn them in.
* If you collect 402 Captured Skeletons, you can gain the Legendary [[Survivor]] title by taking the quest, accepting the reward, switching [[district]]s and repeating.
* The quest [[Unwanted Guests]] is very efficient for the purpose of farming this quest, being available quickly and spawning 15 skeletons that each [[aggro]] separately.
{{bug|If your character has {{Cost|99001}} or more, you will only be awarded experience and Trick-or-Treat Bags but not any gold. Usually an [[NPC]] will not give a quest reward until your character has enough space for the gold and/or items.}}
{{bug|If you have enough filled mobstoppers in your inventory to complete this quest, but less than 3 in the first inventory slot, you will be unable to accept the reward because ''"your inventory is full"''.}}

==Trivia==
* Introduced in [[Halloween 2009]].
* Prior to the [[Game updates/20091030|October 30, 2009 update]], the gold reward was 2,000.
* The [[/2009|original]] dialogue was rewritten in 2010.
* The Mad King Thorn's invisible pony is introduced as [[Gum Drops, the Noble Steed]] in [[Halloween 2011]] with the challenge mission [[Scarred Psyche]].
