Lost at Sea

A sailor staggered in here one day and started telling this story

"       I was somewhere in the sword sea, I have no way of knowing the
EXACT location for I had been sailing in a wild storm for close to a day.
Out of nowhere, I saw flashes of brillant lights in the distance.  The next
thing I knew I saw the outline of a small island.  Once upon dry land I
found the Lord of the Island.  He must have seen me coming from afar, for
when I entered the large dark cavern I could see nothing.  The only thing
I remember was the sound of bones crunching beneath my feet, and then a
loud bellowing sound....."

He fell asleep after that, so I never did find out how it ended.
