This is the eighth adventure in the series. This 66 page PDF file is a D&D 5E adventure for a group of 8th level Player Characters (PCs).
In this adventure the party teams up with the spirit of the Pirate Queen who takes them on her ghost ship to an uncharted isle, where the heroes must face deadly undead guarding forbidden treasure.
Even if you have no intention of running this adventure, it provides tools you may find useful in your campaign.
This adventure is in 4 parts. The two major parts are:
1) “The Ghostly Galleon” where the PCs explore a ghost ship, and every room they enter is first an old and neglected ship inhabited by a crew of ghostly figures. When they enter each room there is a chance that time will move back about 300 years into the past, where there is a party going on. Or, it may switch to a time in the future where the ship is much more corrupted and is infested with a variety of monsters.
2) “The Hidden Temple” which is basically a dungeon crawl where the PCs fight monsters, solve puzzles, encounter traps, and strive to locate another fragment of the Clock of Aeons.
It has 15 new monsters and a new magic item, the “Wand of Age Humanoid”.
The Digital Accessories Pack includes images of encounter locations and Monsters along with maps and monster tokens you can use in your virtual table top game.

The next adventure will be “AT-09: The Prehistoric Portal.”

    For a beginning DM your adventures are a GREAT source of inspiration. Like it very much. So thank you for this.

    I am actually looking forward to episode AT-09. Do you know by any chance how I can get a notification for it ?

    Thank you in advance.

      I really appreciate it that you are finding these adventures useful. Thank you for your kind comment. I have two separate replies:

      First. No I don’t currently have a way to automatically notify individuals regarding specific future posts. The best way to be informed of every new post would be to subscribe to the blog. You will then receive an email every time I make a post. I don’t typically post more often than once a week, and many weeks I don’t make a post at all, so your in-box won’t be flooded by these.

      Second. I regret to announce that, based on my current work load, and the amount of time involved in creating these, it looks like I won’t be able to return to working on the “Its About Time” adventure path before 2017.
