Shipwreck/Island adventures

In WotC's Cliffhanger series of free (mini) adventures, there was one involving a haunted lighthouse and a ship wreck. I think it was pretty low level (max 5) - I don't remember the name, though...
 

The old 1e module C4 the Lost Island of Castanimir is set up as a shipwreck railroad to lead into the adventure, it is for levels 1-3, but even though it has some interesting monsters I wouldn't recommend it straight, it involves a lot of collected stuff from the multiverse including vacuum robots and other tech oddities as conceived of in the early 80s.
 

I Loved that 0 level shipwreck adventure. Highly recommended. I also used a free lighthouse one from Wizards' site. I believe goblins were in there, but there is also another one with a hag or somesuch.

Anyway, it worked in our campaign.

There is another about diving to a shipwreck in a Dungeon mag. That was very cool...and quite creepy. Scared the bejeesus out of the players a couple of times with that adventure.

There are MANY set on island, but the best thing about that Treasure Island (o lvl) is that the shipwreck is part of the adventure. The fight with the evil captain on the beach using whatever you can get your hands on was really fun.

Gibbs: Look alive, men! It's not for naught it's called Shipwreck Island where lie Shipwreck Cove in the town of Shipwreck.
Jack Sparrow: You know, for all that pirates are clever-called, we are an unimaginative lot when it comes to naming things.
Gibbs: Like?
Jack Sparrow: I once sailed with a geezer lost both his arms and part of his eye.
Gibbs: What did you call him?
Jack Sparrow: [pause] Larry.
 


Also thought of another. I believe it was an old basic module (red cover) and I think it was called something like "Drums on Firetop Mt".

It involved tribal, jungle-dwelling, canoe-paddling meso-American like green orcs. I liked that a lot. :) Don't think I ran the whole adventure, but I got a lot of ideas for my island hopping jungle orcs for my home campaign.

I picked up Dungeon Crawl Classics #55, Isle of the Sea Drake, this weekend. Its 4E, a little rough in place, but it is an interesting stranded on a tropical island adventure.

That sounds cool. I'd love to know which one that was.

I've picked up the PDF but I haven't had a chance to do more than skim it. I vaguely recall having this years ago and thinking it was cool. Otherwise, though, its pretty close to being the sort of thing I'm looking for -- especially the part about fighting the evil captain on the beach with whatever you can get your hands on. :devil:
