Brian Cortijo's "Arena of Souls" – You've been abducted! Fight your way through the arena and find a way to escape. Beware! You start out weaponless and imprisoned.

An adventure for 3rd or 4th level characters.

Ed Greenwood's "Lost Coins and Flying Bones" – Many years ago a group of merchant traders met a very sticky end.

Steven Schend's "Keep Away From the Borderlands!" – It has been two nights since Corith's Watch, a holy night that occurs only once every 120 years.
