Glimmermark session 55: they decided against any of the other locations and tried to get to where the troglodytes lived under the castle.
In between they met a shadow that nearly scared them off because attempts at Turn Undead were unsuccessful with increasingly good dice results. (shadows are not undead)
Then they stormed into a cave hall full of troglodytes to save a human victim being prepared for dinner, only to be surprised by the sheer amounts of lizards.
This is, probably, my favorite adventure I have ever run. O2 Blade of Vengeance.
I do not think I would recommend it to anyone though. It is a 1 DM for 1 player module. It also is tailored to one character, an elf, returning to his homeland.
But it is full of flavor. All of the uk based modules had a certain style that is hard to describe.
I use to try and emulate this adventure with any content I put together for the groups I play with. The problem is, it takes a lot of time; time I do not have these days. Also, it is rare that a group of players even cares about the fidelity of the world, or having some kind of epic goal like the one in this adventure. "VENGEANCE". They just want to sit around, maybe drink a beer, tell some nerdy jokes, beat up some orcs, collect gold, and call it a night.
Had an interesting discussion in last nights game. One player made a thief character with an 18 charisma and 8 dexterity. They are level 2 now. They are complaining that they do not have much to do except pick locks and disarm traps in the game. Sort of complaining that they can not even hit well with their sling so they feel useless.
I said I would think on it. Note that this is in my homebrew game and I have changed quite a few things and we have experimented with some different sub systems.
I think the problem harkens back to something that is different between 1e AD&D and 4e and 5e D&D. In the modern game, there has been an effort to make each class viable. If you have a bard with an 18 charisma, then a lot of their abilities and chances to do things will be based off of charisma.
But in 1e AD&D, the benefits of a high charisma are a bit more circumspect.
There is also a bit of "how much should the game framework hold your hand"? If a player makes bad choices, is it their fault? Do they have to achieve a certain level of system mastery to be able to play the game? Or should all player choices when making up a character lead to somewhat viable characters?

GUIDELINES FOR SECTION OF THE BEST PLAYER
1. Active before passive
2. Thinking/reasoning before rash
3. Bold before timid
4. Uninjured before wounded
5. Alive before dead
6. Leader before follower
Other factors of importance ares Is the player responsible
for monster kills either through actual attack or devising
methods for others to slay? Has the player managed to ac-
quire a considerable sun of treasure above that held by
others in the group? Who located the magical items gained?
And by all means, remember to reward the fellow who causes
the party to be saved from certain destruction or who was
clever enough to avoid fighting and still managed to gain
the desired end.

digital illustration in top down point of view, of a town square surrounded by some buildings. In this version, the square has four stone benches with plants on the back and a big tree at the center. There's also stone benches against a wall where a big fountain is placed, surrounded by buckets filled with water, some linens, soap and tools to do the laundry. Next to this area there are some stairs to get to a higher area with a bakery and a restaurant.
