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”.

Revision 1 (June 11, 2024): On page 1, I changed “The PCs start this adventure with 1 Time Point.” to “The PCs start this adventure with 2 Time Points.”
I want to give a shout to to Jan Veenendaal. He has a web site that I used to create the stat blocks I used in this adventure. Here is how he describes it:
I created a website where you can create statblocks really easy: you enter the texts, the site does all the formatting. It will allow you to create PNG files, and a few other formats.
The site is free, does not collect data (everything stays on your computer), and is completely open source. Also, it is fine to publish whatever you create using it under Wizards’ Fan Content policy.
After posting my NEW Time Travel Rules, I realized that an adventure where these new rules were used might be helpful. So here is what I came up with. This also gave me a chance to create an adventure containing what I like for adventures that I run to contain. Let me know what you think about it.
AT-00 Time Travel Rules is basically a re-post of the time travel rules I posted last month. I re-formatted it and made a couple of minor additions.
AT-01 An Ancient Evil is the first adventure in a series of adventures that I intend to publish here, that will make up the “Its About Time” campaign arc. It also provides a framework for the players to incorporate the use of time travel into the game by using supplement AT-00 Time Travel Rules. These adventures will take a group of adventurers from level 1 to level 20. It starts with our adventures arriving in the small fishing village of Saltport Cove.
This adventure takes place after a Total Party Kill (TPK). It allows a group of DEAD PCs to earn a second chance by fighting their way through the first layer of Hell to retrieve a stolen artifact. It is unlike other modules in that it is written to accommodate a party of any size and any level (1 to 20).
This is a complete re-write of the module I posted previously. I updated the entire module to work with D&D 5E rules. It also includes converted monsters that are not in the 5E Monster Manual – on new color reference sheets – Abishai Devils, Kaorti Devils, Nupperibo Devils, Cranium Rat Swarms, and Winged Fiend Swarms (a new monster of my own creation), and Charon (Boatman of the Lower Planes).
I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please post any comments you may have. Let me know if you find any of this useful.
