Black Flames is a fantasy role-playing game adventure published by TSR in 1993 for the Dark Sun campaign using the rules of the 2nd edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.
Once the characters have taken a drink, the nomads are revealed to be an illusion of the evil dragon Farcluun, who has dosed the party with a slow-acting poison.
[1] In the May-June 1993 edition of White Wolf Magazine (Issue 38), Berin Kinsman thought that the module was a "good adventure overall", with "enough original ideas, fresh plot twists, and Athasian flavor to keep things entertaining" as well as being a good introductory module for players new to the Dark Sun campaign.
[2] In 2014, games historian Shannon Applecline noted that "In general, the Dark Sun adventures were quite different from the dungeon crawls that dominated D&D in the '80s.
However, Black Flames showed that Dark Sun was starting to develop typical tropes of its own: a journey across the desert wilderness; a ruins crawl; and the investigation (and defense) of an oasis.
