One of my gamers is trying to remember the name of the first Living Greyhawk module I ran for him.  It was a CORE module that was playable for first level characters.

I remember it featured a gnome wizard/alchemist who blew up his tower in Greyhawk city, but he was flustered because even though the explosion caused him to be expelled to the street, his familiar was stuck at the top of the tower!

The tower had weird magical energies from the alchemy, and random effects befouled the players on the way up, and the tower was burning on the way down.  Magical beasts that were trapped in cages and oozes created from the arcane energy formed the majority of the enemy encounters. 

I want to say it was a year 4 module, but I'm not certain.  (It might have been a year 3, because I think it was also run at a retirement party at the end of year 4)

If anyone could help me remember, that would be great!

For some reason, the words 'grey cloak' comes to mind whenever I try to remember the title of it.

I found this;

home.cogeco.ca/~lg-ket/adventures/core3....

but none of the descriptions stand out.  Is it Nine Lives?  (The familar was a cat)
"Magic is such a wonderful thing. Its complexity challenges its students, its beauty dazzles the blooded, and its mystery impresses all. But one day in Greyhawk, magic shows its unpredictable side and unleashes something never before seen. One plea, one in need, one to bear witness, and six to complete the task, nine lives intertwined for one day. An adventure for APLs 2-10"

It is COR3-15 Nine Lives. Have quickly checked the module and the plot is exactly as you set ou above.
