Looking for a specific adventure

[Abraxas]

Wondering if someone around here can help.
I am looking for a specific adventure that may be called "The Winter's Glade". The main villain is a wizard type who can only be killed by stabbing him with an icicle. Does this ring any bells with anyone? I was told it is a Dungeon mag adventure, but I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

In issue #22 there is an adventure called "Tomb it May Concern". It is a solo adventure for a single paladin character who has received a head trauma and as a result has amnesia. The paladin finds himself in a dungeon called The Winter Glade and must not only rediscover that he is a paladin but determine that he came to the glade to slay an undead wizard who muffed an attempt to become a lich (instead became a juju zombie). I don't recall anything about the icicle thing, but that is the only adventure I can remember that takes place at a location called Winter's Glade.

Incidentally there is a much older adventure in Dragon magazine called "Valley of the Earth Mother" which pursued a theme similar in that I believe it was about a wizard who screwed up an attempt to become a lich and became a "semi-lich" instead, but it wasn't set in Wuinter's Glade (it was in the Valley of the Earth Mother) and I don't remember anything about an icicle in it either. It had a very Celtic theme. I only bring it up because of the similar villain history which could have resulted in confusion between the two if someone had seen them both long ago.

Other than that I can't think of anything that involved a "Winter's Glade".

You're probably referring to the defenders of daybreak storyline by piratecat?

if so issue 34 had Euphoria Horrors
by Alan Grimes (Can you find a little boy's missing friend? The description he gives you is very strange. An AD&D Forgotten Realms adventure for character levels 1–2.) which sounds like the "drake" adventure. And issue 28 had Night of Fear by Mark Lucas (Most country inns are noted for their charm, peacefulness, and security. But not this one. A D&D adventure for character level 1.) which looks like the doppleganger storyline.
Ought to give you a rough timeline of when the correct adventure was printed....

The tomb it may concern sounds pretty accurate to the description given in the storyline.

Thanks - I'll check out Issue 22 tonight

Yep - This bit from the "Defenders of Daybreak - The Early Years" thread sounded interesting. I'm thinking of using it for a new Eberron campaign I'll be starting soon.

Not sure if the other two will work - but I have used the Elzid tower adventure that is also mentioned in the DoDtEY thread numerous times before and will probably use it again - my players hate quasits because of that adventure.

Thanks Folks
