Can a player advance further on the Pirate Lair mission track than the number of gold hexes?
A single reply gives this reading; no official ruling.

Yes. Defeating a lair moves every involved player one step, the top roller takes a further step, and a lone defeater takes two steps, so a player can move past the gold-hex count.
