A ruined monument to folly and ego, the Shadowed Keep stands atop an isolated bluff deep in a mist-wreathed forest. Sacked by marauding goblins decades ago the place was thought abandoned, but shadows now creep among the forest's great boles and footprints have appeared on the single, overgrown track leading to the keep. Travellers have begun to disappear with alarming regularity from the nearby road and the local folk fear some slumbering evil has claimed the ruin as its own.
Dare you brave the terrors of the Shadowed Keep to crush that which lurks within or will darkness shroud the surrounding lands?

cephyn has played this adventure and would recommend it.
A fun little dungeon-location that I can throw anywhere on a map and have 2 instant factions for players to deal with. Do they ally with the bandits? Do they clean out the goblins and their families?
And let's not forget the ghost-boy upstairs, who 2 groups of mine now have tried to 'save'...or at least put an end to his haunting...
