A Pathfinder RPG Mini-Dungeon adventure for four level 7 PCs
Kazzak the Impure, a recently matured dark naga, has recently been banished from the intrigues and horrors of his mother’s nest. Like the rest of his foul reptilian race, Kazzak is paranoid, covetous and domineering. However, unlike the rest of his nest, a vile contamination within Kazzak’s bloodline has recently surfaced; Kazzak is struggling with the earliest stages of his burgeoning sorcerous powers and is naturally drawn to the dark powers of necromancy. However, his skills are weak and untried; the dark naga has not yet developed sufficiently to gain any levels in sorcerer.
However, fortune has favoured Kazzak. Having easily dominated or bound a small number of followers to his side, his group have helped him locate and enter an ancient library deep beneath a set of scorched ruins. He has successfully defended his new home against a number of treasure hunters and interlopers, whilst steadily reading the many tomes and librams that surround him.
Mini-Dungeons are single page, double sided adventures for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game which are setting agnostic and are easily inserted anywhere in your campaign.

This pdf clocks in at 2 pages and is a mini-dungeon. This means we get 2 pages content, including a solid map and all item/monster-stats hyperlinked and thus, absent from the pdf, with only deviations from the statblocks being noted for the GM. Oh, and the series now comes in an archive that also contains...*drumroll* a .jpg-version of the map! Yeah, that's pretty amazing! Better yet: GM-friendly version of the jpg's included as well!
Since this product line's goal is providing short diversions, side-quest dungeons etc., I will not expect mind-shattering revelations, massive plots or particularly smart or detailed depictions, instead tackling the line for what it is. Got that? Great!
This being an adventure-review, the following contains SPOILERS. Potential players may wish to jump to the conclusion.

All right!
The dark naga Kazzak has managed to locate an ancient library, which also happens to contain heretical scripture that the PCs may need to find. Thus, he awaits with his dominated followers, including an invisible stalker and a greater barghest and worse, defending the place that has become his lair.
Conclusion:
Editing and formatting are very good, I noticed no significant glitches. Layout adheres to a beautiful 2-column full-color standard and the pdf comes sans bookmarks, but needs none at this length. Cartography is full color and surprisingly good for such an inexpensive pdf. The .jpg version included here, which you can easily cut up and hand out to the players as they progress is a huge bonus -and even better: A KEY-LESS VERSION sans the annoying letters/numbers is included as well for full VTT-compatibility!!!. The pdf does sport one nice piece of original full-color art - kudos!
This dungeon by Jonathan Ely sports some really nasty critters that, when played right, can make for some dangerous foes. The module is solid and the room descriptions are nice, but as a whole, it feels…kinda unremarkable? I expected a stronger emphasis on the whole library-aspect. All in all, a solid adventure, well worth of a final verdict of 3.5 stars, though I feel I have to round down for this one.
