Description

You might've heard of Black Conrad, he's a famous pirate around these parts.

Well, he had a thing for gambling on my fights. He had a thing for not paying, too.

I'd love to collect, but trouble is... he's dead.

I was about ready to write the whole thing off, when I came across this...

<Taruk unfolds a map of the Isle of Spears with an X on a northeastern plateau.>

He hid his treasure on tuskarr land. I want you to get it. I'll be damned if I let that bilge sucker get away without paying.
