The Lost Vault of Tsathzar Rho (DCC02) (3.5e)
In The Lost Vault of Tsathzar Rho¸ a defenseless village asks the characters to slay an out-of-control ogre. Sounds easy enough. But the ogre¸ who used to be nothing more than a nuisance¸ has become crazed and psychotic. When the characters arrive at its cave¸ they find a subterranean portal has connected the cave to a much larger underground complex. Something in that complex has transformed the ogre and many other local creatures into fiendish marauders. In fact¸ it's the lost vault of Tsathzar Rho¸ an ancient wizard and prophet of the Outer Gods¸ who are gathering their foul minions for battle.

Each adventure is 100% good¸ solid dungeon crawl¸ with the monsters you know¸ the traps you fear¸ and the secret doors you know must be there somewhere.
