One of the harder modules to find in the B series, this one is a true classic. The vast, mist-enshrouded hill is infamous for providing foolish adventurers with wealth and an early demise; a bustling trade steading has sprung up across the river to beckon the unwary. But no one has ever learned why the mysterious hilltop itself has always remained undiscovered! This adventure is huge - there is a wilderness expedition, a 100-room dungeon, and a final climactic encounter no 1st level PC will ever forget (let's just say Bilbo had it easy)... highly recommended.

This module was from the early days of D&D. It has a small village, which could be a good base of operations. Across the river, a ruined monastery beckons. Inside there are skeletons, goblins, kobolds and a dragon. I've used parts of this adventure so many times and it was always a great time. Highly recommended!

An adventure combine dungeon and wilderness. It is rather difficult to play for very beginning adventurers. (let's say, a group with only Level 1-2 characters) The story is good, interesting, but not great. It may be your first time to meet DRAGON! (though it is small and not so strong.)

This is an excellent module. Perfect for a party just getting used to the D&D world. Probably a bit too hard for 1st level players unless the party is large, and even then expect a few casualties. I played it with a party of 5 3rd level players and my PC's loved it. A good 'wilderness' section without being too large for the party to get lost and thus lose interest, and an excellent dungeon crawl section with lots of hobgoblins to bash. My only criticism is the juvenile Red dragon at the end is too easy to kill at 22 odd HP. To my chagrin, the thief PC was able to sneak up and kill it outright without a breath of flame to be unleashed on the party! An excellent module. Classic!
