Hi folks,
one of the players in my Council of Thieves campaign has suggested an excellent side quest:
His character, a dwarven innkeeper / rogue, has caught a rumor of a recipy for a magical ale that effectively functions as an elixir of truth.
I intend to provide a side adventure that allows the party to find this long-forgotten recipy.
However, before I start writing up my own adventure, I thought I'd ask around to find out which was the most fun Treasure Hunt-style adventure that you've ever played, and please do tell why it was such great fun. I'm hoping I can borrow some elements from your stories.
it's ok if the module was set in 1e or 4e or a totally different game system altogether, I'm mainly interested in the name of the published adventure and a little note explaining why that particular story was such great fun.
I'm looking forward to hear from you :)

Are you looking for low level, mid level, or high level adventures?
any - the PC's are level 4 now but I'm more interested in attaching a good storyline to the main story.
Do you want to tie it in with the main story? If so you are better off asking in the AP forums under council of thieves. You might get a more targeted response.
Its a long shot but if you can get hold of the old UK gaming magazine White Dwarf #40 [or Best of White Dwarf Scenarios III] it has a little known but truly excellent adventure called The Eagle Hunt that I reckon is one of the all-time great treasure hunt adventures.
Its an old AD&D adventure. Basically an up & coming assassin's guild steal a potent magic item. Detectives are hired to get it back. They too go missing. Detective agency hires PC's to solve the whole mystery. The Green Eagle itself is never detailed - allows GM's to make it whatever fits into their campaign. As written parts are gradually recovered along with clues to the fates of missing personas etc.
Adventure is a hoot - pretty dangerous for 1-3rd level characters [as printed] but is a great one; loads of roleplay and combat, urban street level adventure. One of my all time faves and like I said pretty unknown wee gem. Could easily fit into your CoT AP, hell the dwarves truth ale could easily be the Green ????? of the title. Assassins front a bar and warehouse as part of their headquarters - could be a offshoot gang/guild of teiflings?
One of the best treasure hunt adventures I've played is Golgordand's gauntlet found HERE. It's 3rd edition and for 1st level characters so it would need some conversion done though, but I really recommend it.
