Continuing in different directions, in this post I have a link to a short adventure for the AD&D 2nd Edition rules and the Al-Qadim campaign setting. It's intended to bring together a new party of adventures, and to help develop background stories (and thus plot hooks) in doing so. It can easily be adapted for other systems and settings, of course, perhaps as a way to launch a campaign centered on the Mediterranean Sea.
