The Treasure of Lady Hellion Hacke

One of the greatest pirates to ever sail the seas called herself Hellion Hacke. Stories of her abound, but her infamous legend ended on a lonely volcanic island where she left a huge chest brimming full with gold coins and magic items. Now, a down-on-his-luck dwarven captain has come into possession of a map that may lead the way to this fabled cache... all he needs is an able-bodied crew of adventurers!

This adventure was created for the Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition RPG Dungeon Master’s Guild as a stand-alone adventure. It can be used in almost any campaign setting, and is intended to be played in a single session, lasting roughly five hours. The encounters are suited for a party containing between four and six first-level characters. Use of the Player’s Handbook, the Dungeon Master’s Guide, and the Monster Manual is required; monster stats in particular are not given.

This pirate-themed adventure begins on a ship, but the majority of the story unfolds on land. Ship-to-ship combat rules are not necessary, and full-aquatic combat is unlikely.
