The foreman looks after the Ship Yard on Karamja. He can be found walking around on the southern tip of the docks.

During The Grand Tree, players need to either talk to him or kill him to get the lumber order. If the player decides to talk to him, he will ask three questions about Glough to which players must answer correctly to proceed.

The combat sounds and death cry of the foreman were changed from that of a gnome to that of a regular human male.

Trivia

  • His respawn time is very fast, due to him being a quest NPC, and thus players need to talk to him, which could be hard if someone continually killed him and he took a while to respawn.
  • He gives an unusually small amount of combat experience when fighting.
  • Giving a wrong answer on Glough's favourite food will result in foreman responding with "Our survey said.... Bzzzzzz! Wrong answer!" This is likely a reference to Family Fortunes, a British TV-game show based on the American version of Family Feud.
