Can anyone give me any more information on this series of Forgotten realms adventures?
I second that motion. I DM'd all three scenarios (changing the setting to Greyhawk, so the last one became 'The Eye of Nerull'...) with four 2nd Ed. PCs-an archer-ranger, a wild mage, a fighter and a rogue. The Yuan-Ti, lizardfolk and especially the black dragons were memorable villians, plus I threw in a Dungeon mag Side Trek about Sutholo the lizardman shaman infected with mummy-rot-can't recall the issue number. The PCs befriended and healed him, and he became the archer-ranger's follower. As good as any later FR adventure arc, IMHO.

Gave my issues to the dm who runs the Faerun campaign what i do remember is that the first adventure involved a fort home to a group of female mages who had an astronomy fixation which introduced the Eye of Myrkul it turned out an undead druid was trying to wipe out the place and the head of the order was a 1st edition form of undead something about a floating woman's head that fortunately for us didn't kill everyone who failed a saving throw (as it apparently does under 1st edition), the next part I believe involved a shrine run by priests of helm who were kidnapped to persuade a group of Pcs to go into the mere to find the twin crowns.
Tht group got lost literally so a second group went in, pretty much found the place instantly (by travelling in from the sea) and there my cleric was aged 60 years by the ghost of a long dead black dragon. Got ambsuhed on the way out as the dm decided the PAIR of black dragons had no interest in returning the captives (alive anyway) even though my cleric insisted the first crown would only be handed over in return for one of the captives they claimed to have them as proof of their "word".The mage fireballed them after we slew one of the dragons and this we elarned later immolted the two captives the dragon actually had in the bag he was carrying.
The remaining priests were left to drown nd were found by a new player character who went into the swamp for another reason alongside some troops though only she survived the battle before meeting with the rest of us after we cleared out a temple of Yu'Anti.
My character had to die to recover from that aging effect and that was after a full year of adventuring to get the money for the cure after being told it would cost 28,000gp because the dm decided the faith didn't care for its priests multiclassing even though an 80 year old cleric in full plate wasn't going to be moving anywhere fast.
Sorry got a little carried away there, hope this helped.

The more interesting question for me is where to get these Dungeon issues!
I am very interested in this classic FR adventure series and was quite disappointed when I found out that only one of the mentioned issues is still available at Paizo.
So maybe, MAYBE, M-A-Y-B-E there will be finally pdf-versions of these issues available from Paizo??? :-))
