[Publisher blurb:] Once again evil threatens the town of Melford and only you can help! An AD&D adventure for character levels 2-3. [from the Introduction:] If the adventure is played as part of the series, the events of the preceding adventures (The Spider Farm, The Melford Murder, and The Shrine of the Oracle) will need to be taken into account. This adventure follows The Shrine of the Oracle in sequence. [...] The player characters hear rumours of a barrow to the north that is supposed to house an evil mage and his minions! The players will certainly find great riches and danger in the dungeons beneath the barrow. Shortly after hearing of the barrow, a trusted person offers to give them (or sell them for some reasonable price) a map to the area where it can be found. The hunt is on!
