Indeed, two of the party were captured and sacrificed to the Elder Elemental God. Recommendations for an adventure depend, I guess, on what level your party are at. Starting levels: Lost City of Barakus - has a large mix of urban, wilderness and dungeon adventure. The main dungeon is vast - the first level has a stack of encounter sites with kobolds, bandits, ghouls and a - ah, but that would be telling. As players head deeper into the complex, they discover that the city is a huge trap. There's also Wizard's Amulet (free download from Necromancer Games) - Crucible of Freya - Tomb of Abysthor if you want linked - and deadly - adventures against the Cult of Orcus. I'd also recommend The Whispering Cairn in Dungeon 124 - first part of the AoW Adventure Path (12 adventures taking brave PC's from novice adventurers to Epic-level heroes) which I consider to be the best first level adventure I've seen in a long while. It will finish with PC's at about 3rd Level, IIRC. 4th-Level or so: Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil isn't bad, having played in it, but there is a lot of material to assimilate. I haven't got Red Hand of Doom but it seems to be universally well-regarded. The Grey Citadel is a good pick, there's urban adventure, investigation and a mammoth dungeon to explore. I'll just mention the supplementary adventure available <a href="http://www.darkloch.com/darkloch2006/Eamonvale_House_of_Bones.pdf" target="_blank">here for free </a>which I wrote - it adds a little to the way of life (and death!) in The Grey Citadel and expands on the nefarious activities of one of the original work's villains.  6th-8th Level or so: The Banewarrens wins here. All the material needed to run it is included in the book (you don't need Ptolus to run it - thankfully) and it has a number of difficult challenges. I'm already foreshadowing this one in the new Barakus campaign I'm running (and the PC's are only at L2). Hope this helps.</blockquote>
