The Pirates' Cove
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | One-Shot
About the adventure
In the quiet village of Elden Hollow, nestled between a dense forest and a serene lake, something unnatural has appeared. One night, a blinding blue flash split the sky—when the light faded, a temple stood where none had existed before. Its watchful stone eyes loom over the town, unblinking, silent, ancient. The bravest villagers attempted to explore its halls. Some never returned. Those who did emerged blind and broken, ranting about huge insects, whispering voices, and hundreds of staring eyes. Fear grips the town. The leaders plead for help. Someone must unravel the mystery before more are lost. In this level 5 adventure, you are experienced but unprepared for what awaits beyond the temple’s threshold. The dangers inside are not of this world, and survival will require more than just steel and spells. You must uncover the truth. You must face what watches in the dark. And most importantly, you must not look away.
Game style
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

This was my very first game of Dungeons and Dragons, and it was amazing! Our GM was a wonderful storyteller, and I truly wished our game could last more sessions. I definitely recommend him for your next adventure.

I played a one-shot with GM Clay. Had a lot of fun doing a pirate adventure. Strongly recommend checking out one of his games. The game was filled with adventure and a little roleplay. Beginner and Veteran friendly.

I just have to say this has been such a good experience: great atmosphere, chill vibes, and great storytelling. Clay is a fantastic GM for both old and new players alike, so if you're looking for a great new adventure with amazing world-building, I highly recommend.

I want to give a shout-out to my DM, who has been instrumental in teaching me the basics of DnD 5e. His passion for the game and willingness to spend extra time helping me outside of sessions has made all the difference. I truly appreciate his support and look forward to our next adventure!
