About the adventure
This campaign includes: 🌴 New & Experienced Player Friendly! 🌴 Survival on a Perilous Island: Face hunger, exposure, and the looming threat of the pirate vessel’s return as nature itself tests your will. 🌴 Serpentine Mystery & Pirate Horror: Uncover why a warship stalks only certain vessels and why it needs survivors alive. 🌴 Deadly Wildlife & Unseen Beasts: Venomous swamps, territorial predators, intelligent apex hunters, and creatures warped by ancient magic. 🌴 Lost Temples & Forbidden Ruins: Unmarked shrines, submerged catacombs, puzzles of forgotten cultures, and relics that should never be awakened. 🌴 Rescue, Leadership & Fragile Alliances: Save other shipwrecked souls, build bonds or rivalries, and negotiate with a secretive island tribe whose help may cost more than gold. 🌴 Puzzles That Shape the Story: Solve temple mechanisms and cultural riddles that may lead to new paths, powerful tools… or deadly traps. 🌴 A Gateway to a High-Seas Campaign: If you escape the island, the ocean might become the true battleground. 🌴 Game Player Level: 6 - 10 Across the southern sea, off the trade routes no sailor dares to chart, something hunts beneath the waves. It flies no flag of known nation, only a serpent’s skull twisted into a pirate sigil, fangs crossed like bones. When the silent vessel appears from the morning fog, cannons roar like thunder and its crew strike with inhuman precision. Survivors speak only of scales, toxin-coated blades, and eyes that glimmer like emerald hatred. Few live long enough to warn anyone at all. You never saw the final blow. One moment; chaos, fire, splintering wood. The next; sand in your mouth, salt in your lungs, and wreckage washing ashore around you. You awaken on an uncharted island where ancient stone towers peek above treetops like watchful sentinels and strange calls echo from the jungle. Your story begins on the beach, among broken timber, scattered corpses, and faint groans of other survivors.

About me
𝓗𝓸𝔀 𝓓𝓸 𝓨𝓸𝓾 𝓦𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓣𝓸 𝓓𝓸 𝓣𝓱𝓲𝓼? Hey I'm Posh Josh 👋🏻 The irony being I'm not actually posh just British! I'm new player friendly 🫶🏻 I don't bite...the monsters do 🧌 My first D&D game I ran was in a storage closet under the stairs in a church community centre (unfortunately no Hogwarts letters arrived for me!🦉) that group started 8 years ago and evolved into a group still running and fumbling dice consistently to this day. 🎲 I like to run a balanced game of combat, roleplay and puzzles. I really REALLY am invested in the Theros setting, since reading it earlier this year (2025) I have been engulfed! If nothing I have listed suits your schedule then message me, I will definatley run a custom game for you! I do one shots so you can try before you buy 😉
