Shrine of the Sahuagin: Captain Grisly's Treasure Hunt Part 2

Captain Grisly's Treasure Hunt is a Fifth Edition adventure for three to six 5th to 7th-level characters, optimized for a party of four 6th-level characters. This adventure is set on the isle of Asboro but can easily be fit into any setting with a mysterious island with minor changes. After getting their hands on the treasure map of the infamous Captain Grisly, the party must follow its instructions to locate the pirate's fortune. This adventure takes place on Asboro, Isle of Oddities, but can be adjusted and placed into almost any campaign setting that includes a tropical island. Can they overcome the obstacles of Asboro Island on their way to Bear's Head Cave, where the treasure is supposed to be buried? If they find the cave, will they be able to defeat the sahuagin who have beaten them to Grisly's treasure?

Background

After a long career of lucrative piracy, Captain Grisly sought to bury much of his wealth on Asboro, Isle of Oddities, an island well known for its mysterious and dangerous reputation. Following a week of scouting, Grisly decided that the perfect place to bury his treasure was a small, well-hidden cave on the southeastern shore of the island. He called the location Bear's Head Cave, as it resembled the profile of a bear's head when approached from the appropriate angle. 

Soon after burying his wealth, Grisly and his crew wrecked their ship on the shores of Lake Dread and were murdered by the orcs of the surrounding jungle. The treasure did not remain undisturbed for long. After a few years, a tribe of sahuagin stumbled upon Bear's Head Cave through its interior river that runs to the shoreline. When the movement of the tides shook loose some gold pieces, the sahuagin searched for more, and soon unearthed the entirety of Grisly's treasure, including a gem-encrusted golden idol of a great white shark. The sahuagin interpreted this as a sign from their god and established the cave as a shrine and shoreline outpost from which they could launch coastal raids, decorating it with the treasure they found there.  

The adventurers have found Grisly's treasure map and can use it to find Bear's Head Cave, but once there, they'll have to pry the treasure away from the sahuagin that beat them to it.
