AC8 "The Revenge of Rusak" (1985) by David Cook is a 8-page wilderness adventure for character levels 7-9, designed to be used with "3-D Dragon Tiles".
AC8 "The Revenge of Rusak" (1985) by David Cook. (Published as AC3, relabeled as AC5, technically AC8).
It was advertised as AC5 in the Coming Attractions section in Dragon #99 (July, 1985). Later printings had a sticker "AC5 All New Dragon Tiles II" placed over the "AC3".
It shared the AC5 code with "Player Character Record Sheets" (1984), but is commonly regarded as AC8. I'm not sure how such an error could have possibly occurred.
Creative Team:
David Cook was the lead editor for the D&D Expert Set (1981) and authored or co-authored several B/X modules. He became the lead designer for AD&D 2e.
3-D figures were designed by Dennis and Marsha Kauth. Dennis also designed the 3-D figures for B6 "The Veiled Society" (1984) and AC3 "The Kidnapping of Princess Arelina".
The Adventure:
Many years have passed since the events in AC3 "The Kidnapping of Princess Arelina". The princess is now the lone survivor of a coup d'etat, and is organizing a rebellion.
Rusak, the villainous magic-user from the previous adventure, has returned from the dead and desires nothing more than revenge against the PCs.
3-D figure for Rusak
I've only run this adventure once, without any of the 3-D figures or tiles. It's quite fun, and easily playable in a single session.
I'd like to perhaps run it again some day, using the pregens and 3-D figures and tiles.
Location:
The adventure "has no particular background setting so it can be used any time the PCs are traveling to another place".
New Monster:
Fungoid
New Magical Items:
Staff of Recording; Amulet of Emotions; Medallion of the Mirror
Trivia:
Names of the 6 prerolled characters appear to be Malaysian in origin*

6/8 of the AD&D pregens from AC3 were increased in level and altered for use with the D&D Expert rules.
