Short 2e adventure
LOST HATCHLING (4-6 PCs of 5th-7th level)
Black Aliss, a powerful witch in the Burrwood, is attempting to acquire a hatchling emerald dragon to use in her researches. Her agents managed to capture a hatchling, but were destroyed en route by the angry mother.
The hatchling, Kelley, is wandering lost and hurt in the forest. Aliss has sent out hunting parties of goblins from a tribe under her control (the Witches' Arrows) as well as the Mad Hunters adventuring party to recapture the hatchling. But Kelley's mother, Thundershock, is also searching the forest for her child. Aliss has decided to recruit a second group to kill or at least delay the mother dragon.
Aliss will approach the party pretending to be a local druid. She asks for the group's help in stopping a dangerous green dragon that she claims is running amok in the area of forest she watches over. If the party agrees to help she gives them an arrow +1, claiming that its actually an arrow of green dragon slaying. She will then head back to her cottage, leaving behind her owl familiar to spy on the party.

Looking over this I notice that I tended to avoid putting many details in my adventure notes up until I would be more certain of when or if I'd ever use the adventure. Things like hit points, AC, spell loads and so on. I also wonder where I have the witch's spell book written down, as thats a detail I always worked out for wizard types...
