What is this adventure?

I remember reading the plot of this adventure, but can't seem to locate it. It was about some hidden cult/guild that have a deal with a kraken (or was it some other sea monster?): they lure ships into its reach, and it leaves them the treasure. Can anyone remember the adventure? I could use a name/link, as I was thinking of running it tomorrow....

Could be the kou-toas dwelling in the shrine in the Lake of Shadows in CotSQ?

I remember that one as well, Gizmo. I think it was somewhere in the neighborhood of issue 80-100. I ran it as a one-shot in 1984. It was cool idea, but the adventure itself was not anything impressive. I would think that finding it and converting to 3rd ed. would take longer than making a better version yourself using the same idea, Yair.

I think this was then re-done for Dungeon under the title "North of Narboral" or something like that.

yup. there is that possibility too.

Hmm...

About a zillion years ago, TSR released an "Adventure Pack" of a number of small modules. This sounds like vaguely like one of those, though I guess it also sounds like the one in Dragon other people have mentioned.

In terms of the Adventure Pack, I remember being partial to the scavenger hunt story, myself.

I really enjoyed the 'Steaks' adventure.
