Description
Negolash is a hungry giant.
When the giants destroyed our ship, Negolash went straight for my kitchen. He wasn't hungry for crew like the other giants. Negolash wanted wine...and my Barbecued Buzzard Wings. They're my specialty, and I had to go all the way to the Badlands for the recipe!
If you want to lure the giant, then get some wine and a heap of buzzard wings. Put them in our old lifeboat, southeast of here along the coast. When Negolash smells all that food, he'll come for sure!

Did you get my cutlass, your name?
Completion
You got my cutlass from Negolash! I can't believe my fortune, your name! Meeting you has turned my luck to the better, make no mistake there!
Thank you! And if I ever get a new ship and you're looking to sail the seas, you would be my honored guest.
