Never been found. Some think it might refer to the crumpled scroll. Not sure if it's intended to be implemented at some point. I wrote a little story behind the HMV scroll that mentions it, for anyone interested:

(intended as a Mad Minstrel song be to sung after killing Filk)
And what about a strange scroll from HMV? The one with Lubaf and etc.? What is this for?
Your mighty kick causes severe structural damage to the stairway.
The dungeon suddenly shakes and everything starts to break down.
You are crushed by tons of rock.
You die...
Supposedly there was going to be a red rooster inn where you would get the trident originally, but that has been changed to Khelavaster having it in Terinyo. As the game has changed over the years I'm sure that there have been things that have been added and dropped and changed.
If you hex edit the 1.1.1 EXE (Winbeta 4) you find the following, starting at 000DDE82:
You enter the Red Rooster Inn. It's completely empty...You enter the Red Rooster Inn as the sun is just rising. Alganon, the innkeeper, welcomes you with great joy and honors you for helping the ancient dwarf. As a reward he grants you a long item wrapped in a sheet. He winks at you and mumbles "Ye know what'ta do with dat, don't ye?". Due to some urgent business Alganon then leaves.
Seems like it was a reward for helping Thrundarr.
And that text is never actually referenced... which is a good reason to believe that it was taken out with the intent to add it later, but that never happened.
Sounds plausible, but as we know thats not the way to get the TotRR...
It could be an obsolete idea, or it could be a deliberate red herring for code-divers.
