I think I was able to translate what Rotgill's Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle meant, when I triggered him.
'You no take trident.'

The finishing quest text is sooo sad. It seems that even creatures like the annoying murlocs have feelings. I feel horrible for him. :'(
I have never met a murloc so well-versed in basic Common homophones before. This could mean great strides for the entire field of Murlocian Anthropology!

Description
<From the scratches he makes in the rock, you see several symbols: a trident, a mur'ghoul, the sun, a wrecked ship, and a rough stick-figure of yourself.> <Puzzling out what the murloc is conveying takes a while. Obviously he wants you to get a trident from the Chillmere Coast, but the image of the sun is puzzling. That is until you realize he means his son.> <His son was changed into a mur'ghoul! He wants you to find him to the south near the wrecked ship and return with his trident.>
