The Palace of Ontoncle
DragonQuest  Adventure One
An adventure for 4-6 players and a Gamesmaster...

Published by SPI, 1980.
NY, NY
Design by: Peter Herzig
28 pages (includes front and rear covers).

Basic info of the adventure.
PCs are hired to raid a ruined palace, now occupied by an Evil Magician and his henchmen.
The job is to kill or drive away the Adept and his servants, and clear the Castle of any lingering monsters.

Palace of Ontoncle was DQ adventure #1 from SPI.  #2 was The Sword of Allectus, based on The Tempest -- or was it Forbidden Planet? -- and #3 was the excellent Enchanted Wood, by Paul Jaquays.

I've read, but never played, Palace of Ontoncle.  I seem to remember it's a monster-menagerie.  Despite the awful pun in its name, it's not good.

So at $2.14 (including Taxes) did I overpay for it?

That's a great find!  And I may have been unnecessarily harsh on the subject of skeletal adventures.   I read Ontoncle quite a while ago, before I appreciated how good  a bare-bones module like Tegel can be with an enthusiastic DM to flesh things out.

The DQ modules I've seen look pretty good. Well worth picking up because they never really cost that much to buy.
