A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 7th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 3–4, and 6–7).
When the Black Marquis lost all of the men he could trust on a failed treasure hunt, he did the only thing he could: turned to the Pathfinder Society for help. Offering an ancient lost text in return for assistance, the Black Marquis of Deadbridge sends you deep into the spider-haunted Echo Wood of the River Kingdoms to track down his missing pirates and recover an ancient treasure for the Society. You'll face brigands, pirates, spiders and more—but will you survive the perils of the Pirate Pact?
Written by Matthieu Dayon

I GM'd this one via PbP at T3-4, partially to see if I could make it work as a reclamation project.
It's not a terrible story, though I think as GM, you need to downplay some things early on if you know what I mean, and there is a ton of wiggle room for creative GMs.
There is a good variety of encounters (traps and fights), almost no roleplay and a bit of a change in that it throws a bunch of weak mooks into the battle instead of having competence in the BBEG's.
Overall, the challenge level is quite low at the middle tier so this one is a good candidate for playing up or playing with a small group.
in the words of a certain herbivorous dinosaur ...
This has got to be one of the most fun scenarios I've ever run or played. There's a fun mix of combat, exploration, and trapfinding. The plot is not deep, but not every scenario's plot should be deep. PFS needs more straightforward, fun romps through this fantasy world of ours. It's just good clean fun: let's go fight pirates, kill spiders, and look for treasure! What's not to love?
I may be alone in this, but i feel that the players should come to play each PFS session with the understanding that, unless they are cunning, strong,attentive, skilled, cooperative, and even lucky; their characters could die. It is my belief that this urgency provides a much more rewarding experience for everyone. this scenerio contains a very well written plot, but the encounters are much too easy. great for first time players.
I've run this twice. I think it's a fun module to run and it has some interesting encounters. I think the maps and the story are easy to follow for the DM. I liked it as a player and as a DM.
I disagree with the comments that its boring. I think its a fun module.
