[edit] Cold War
Cold War starts with you going to Ardougne Zoo and talking to Larry, the penguin keeper. You find out that Larry is a bit crazy about penguins and he wants you to help him find out about their habitat. You and Larry then journey east of Relekka where he takes you on a boat to the Iceberg. Once there you build a lookout so you can observe some penguins without them knowing your there. After watching the penguins, Larry makes you build a clockwork suit to find out more about what the penguins are doing. After you have built a clockwork suit and travel back to the Iceberg, you and Larry discover that the Lookout has been destroyed and the penguins are gone. Larry blames the penguins so he takes you back to Ardougne. Larry magically shrinks you down and you get into the penguin suit. You then talk to the penguins in the Ardougne Zoo and ask where the outpost is. You have to do a mission in Lumbridge first before they tell you. After doing the mission, the penguin tells you that their outpost is on the Iceberg itself and the password to the outpost is cabbage.
You and Larry then travel back to the Iceberg. Larry turns you back small again and you find a way into the outpost. You have to trade an ID with the guard first. When you are in outpost you have to do an agility course. Just before you do it, you find out that the penguins are not just trying to fly, but are building an army. After you complete the agility course, you go back to Larry and tell him what you saw. He tells you that he needs you to find out what they are planning. You go back to the outpost and try and go into the planning room, but when you try the guard says that you do not have a high enough rank to do so. You then go to two musical penguins called Ping and Pong for help and they say that they need some instruments. You don't know how it will help but once you have gotten them, they distract the guard by playing and you go into the planning room. Once you are there you find out that the penguins are planning to take over Runescape. The magic in the room exposes you and you are thrown in a cell with a bunch of monsters. You find a way to escape and you report back to Larry.
[edit] Hunt for Red Raktuber
Hunt for Red Raktuber starts from where Cold War left off. When you go speak to Larry, he is being tied up and can not move because the Chief Zookeeper thinks that he is insane. Larry tells you that he has found massive footprints in Taverly and that there is a submarine. You go and search Taverly and you find massive footprints! You go report back to Larry and tell the Chief Zookeeper that Larry is not crazy. You show the Chief the massive footprints and he lets Larry free. You and Larry go back to the Iceberg to investigate more about the penguins. Once there you go into the outpost and you find out that the penguins have captured another penguin. You talk to the captured penguin and try and make him tell you the information about the submarine. After some talking he tells you all the information and you then go get some penguin hats and a horn from the evidence crate in the same room. You then have to make your way to the war room, but like in Cold War, you can't because your rank as a penguin is not high enough. You then get Ping and Pong to play the guard a tune so he will go to sleep then you open to large door. You go into the war room and you find some dwarfs slaves. They want to escape and don't believe that you are human, so you go get them some penguin suits. When you give them the suits back they then give you tools for disabling the submarine.
After that you go tell Larry what you have found. He tells you to go get an ID from a penguin called Noodle. After that you go search the filing room and find some telegram about the submarine. You then are supposed to meet Larry east of Yanille by the sea. You are then turned back into a penguin and you have to use the hat and a horn that you got from the evidence create to call for the submarine. After a small while a massive submarine appears. You then enter it. After searching you will meet Captain Marlin who has been captured by the sea slugs. He takes your tools off you and you are left in the submarine control room. You then have to find items that are like the items in the toolbox. When you have found them you then go and disable the submarine, but find out that you have just changed its route! You then end up on a desert island in the middle of the ocean and the penguins have captured Larry! You find out that the King Penguin has just used you all this time! He used you so he could take over the submarine and continue his plots! The dwarves where not slaves at all in the end, they were helpers from the Red Axe! They wish to get rid of humans and take over the whole land. After the cutscene Larry is taken to the homeland and you are left there to die slowly. But hope is not over, a polar bear agent that has been working with Larry is there. His name is Chuck and he takes you back to Ardougne to finish the quest.
