The Hunt for Ivor Secret-Congregation's Stolen Treasure

Legend has it that in the 17th century, rebel preacher Ivor Secret-Congregation drew in crowds of dissenters with his powerful words. But when he learned of a spy among his followers, he burned his membership list and fled the town with a sack of donated gold coins. His treasure remains hidden on a tidal island off the coast of Sussex, waiting to be found by the most adventurous treasure hunters.

Now, the Exploration Society has discovered Ivor's journal in the cellar beneath the Town Hall, containing a map and scrawled notes that pinpoint the location of the buried coins. But only the bravest and most skilled adventurers will be able to follow the clues and unearth the gold.
