Needle (I11) is a Dungeons & Dragons module.Author: Frank Mentzer (1987).
Needle is an adventure in which the player characters recover a magical obelisk from a distant jungle, and which turns out to be a door to another world.
In this adventure, the player characters volunteer for a king to explore a dense jungle that was once home to a great civilization, with a magic obelisk at its center. In Part 1, Ruins of Empire, the party travels to the jungle and explores the ruins. In Part 2, Retrieval, the party leads a team hampered by disease and jungle animals to transport the obelisk to the king. In Part 3, The Powers That Be, assuming the party is successful, the obelisk is placed in its new position, where it reveals a gate to another world.
