"You, Same "The Spade" Lonetree and your band of expediters are given the task of locating the key to a magical book for a powerful Wizard. The key - of which he can give only a vague description - is located in a castle that to all appearances is haunted. Strange things do happen, and your employer informs you that two previous parties have failed to return. Muttering something about talking artifacts and black birds, the Mage says, "I have no choice; it's a job for The Spade. Good luck.""
From the web:
The official AD&D tournament dungeon from Wintercon VIII, based on available maps and photographs of Hedingham Castle in Essex, England, 48 pages long, with full-color, heavy-duty cover. The "dungeon" contains the key to a magic book; this key is the subject of a quest by the players. Five detailed dungeon levels with keyed rooms and secret passages are provided, as is a list of pre-rolled characters from the tournament. These characters are mostly members of a thieves' guild, a spoof of the old private detective sagas, led by Sam "The Spade". Also included are some new magic items such as magic card decks, and a labyrinthine set of caverns beneath the castle (also keyed and populated). This product has been officially approved for use with AD&D.
