A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 7th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 3–4, and 6–7).
You are sent to Aspis Consortium-infested Bloodcove to gather supplies for a nearly doomed Pathfinder mission nearby. Disguised as ordinary merchants, you have little time to gather what you need and get out before the Consortium discovers and destroys you.
This scenario is designed for play in Pathfinder Society Organized Play, but can easily be adapted for use with any world. This scenario is compliant with the Open Game License (OGL) and is suitable for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.

I ran this adventure some three or four times for tables at GenCon, and everyone had a blast. While the setting and Advanced Player's Guide NPCs easily stand on their own, my favorite bit was the Awareness mechanic which tracked how well the PCs were hiding and what the city did about it when the PCs drew too much attention to themselves.
This scenario was my favorite from GenCon. It reminds me of the movie "Heat" where the players have to weigh every move they make against the heat they create which may catch up to them and cause everything to unravel. It is a sandbox scenario that provokes imagination and problem-solving skills from the players. Several encounters may be solved through means other than violence. It has good campaign setting flavor and ties in tight with Part 2, such that the PC’s actions in Part 1 actually have an impact in Part 2. This is a first in Pathfinder Society. There are also dire consequences for failure. My only regret is that the combats were not challenging. The plot is excellent and the mechanics are sound. The faction missions helped to enhance the story rather than distract from it. All the players from GenCon enjoyed themselves.
Running this adventure in five minutes here at Gen Con. You need flip mat water front tavern.
You will also want map pack inns, cities, waterfront, and jungle.
OMG. In addition to being one of the funniest beings on this planet, Crystal Frasier can write scenarios. Good ones. "Sandbox in Mwangi with APG content and Lizards named Omb" good.
Paizo ! Immediately redirect Crystal to scenario writing duty ! Halve the food rations ! Triple the workload ! Threaten to have Jason B eat an alive octopus in the middle of Paizo office unless more Crystal modules are written ! And if all else fails, RELEASE THE KRAKEN !
