Challenge #04850-M101: Treasure Trouble

Menson V'lek has inherited a map where his father buried a pirate fortune. The story goes that after a shipwreck during a great sea chase, the old man buried the gold he could not carry and high tailed it out of there. But something doesn’t quite add up with the old man’s story or his map, leading Menson to travel to the isle to unravel the truth. -- Deathshead419

All his life, Menson had heard dad's tall tales of his adventures. The most re-told was how he wrecked a pirate ship and took all the gold for himself. Then how he had to bury the treasure because the boat he could make to escape the island was too small to carry it and his supplies for the journey.

There was a map and everything. A poorly-made map, but a map all the same. It could vaguely match several islands on the expert-level maps.

None of the features on dad's map matched any of the features on any of the islands. A couple were close, but there were no exact links. Which, as time went by, drove Menson slowly nuts.
