I'm looking for the name of a critter from a Dungeon adventure from the late 80's-early 90's. I believe the adventure was a side-trek and the setting was an inn in the wilderness. It was supposed to be an eerie adventure, and the PCs were supposed to figure out what the critter was that was sucking the blood of the other travellers. It turns out that the critter was a blood sucking ooze, and it was hiding outside in the wet snow between feedings. At least that was what I remember. What was the name of the adventure, the issue, and the name of the big bad ooze, and where was it found? I'd really like to use the monster elsewhere, even if I have to convert it to 3-3.5e, but I can't remember what it is! :\ Help?

LOL, there is actually a Dungeon adventure like that too!! IIRC, there is an adventure about a cleric or something travelling to some monastery in the middle of a snow storm. When he gets there, he finds the monastery empty. I forgot the name of it though (and I'm at wurk right now). Maybe diaglo knows.
Have you ever run it? How did it go?

I ran it in 2nd edition for a 2 player party. They had a lot of fun figuring out how the doors worked. I don't think they ever really understood the pattern.

Yeah, that's it. I ran it as a solo adventure once. I can't remember if it was written as such or if that was just how I ran it. Good little adventure, that.
As far as Ex Libris goes, I've considered taking some classic Dungeon adventures and running them as one-shots. There are so many I've never had the chance to run. Maybe I'll start a thread about it.

Now that I'm back for real from Easter vacation, here's why I want it. I'm thinking about turning that little Side Trek into a murder mystery in Lower Sharn, where the culprit is a Slithering Tracker, and I wanted to use parts of that adventure as a guide. As I don't have the module myself, but I do know someone who has all of the old Dungeons, I can just ask for that Dungeon by name now.
It should make for a great introduction to Sharn by a group of investigator and political types, and really get the ball rolling on a campaign. There's also an outpost type of adventure in Dungeon 31 or 33 which involves a Red Slaad getting free and impregnating NPCs with little slaadlings (does the word "chest burster" mean something to you?), but that's at a much higher level (don't think I'm not thinking about that adventure farther along down the line.)
