A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 1–4 (subtiers 1–2 and 3–4).
Goblin patriarch, merchant, and Pathfinder Society ally Yigrig Moneymaker needs help! The cunning goblin merchant has big plans to build a bridge that will connect two promising trade partners, but something is stirring up the local wildlife and convincing the lions and other predators of the Katapeshi plains that goblins are more tasty than can possibly be true. The PCs must find out who's responsible for the trials Yigrig's family faces before the lions of Katapesh devour the entire goblin clan and end the chance for trade between two desert cities.

To give credit where it is due, a significant portion of that was due to a GM who was willing to go with the flow as we tried various arguably silly shenanigans, coming up on the fly with mechanics that both rewarded us AND still kept things challenging. And to a group of players who got into the spirit of the adventure and tried said silly shenanigans :-). In fairness, the adventure actively encouraged the characters to get creative (and, therefore, clearly to engage in shenanigans :-))
But the adventure itself is quite solid. Lots of roleplaying potential, some interesting fights, decent background. Places where the characters decisions actually MATTERED both in story and in terms of rewards received.
As seems to be very common in PFS (And I think this is a good thing) lots and lots of skill challenges with various options so most characters will have SOME way to contribute.
Have only played it so I can't judge how good the replays will be.

Yay! More Repeatable Scenarios. I am very very glad there are a number of repeatable scenarios, please keep it up. It makes it much easier to get new players up to speed with more experienced players, and makes creating more characters per player easier.
I’m running this in a few days and I request clarifications ASAP on a discrepancy in the scenario concerning

the DC of the Survival check to Track the lions to their layer.

Track the Felines: A PC can attempt a DC 20 Survival check to Track the felines to their lair. If the felines have attacked and killed at least one goblin, the PCs gain a +2 circumstance bonus to this check and can do so untrained, as the fresh blood dragged across the desert is easy to follow.

First, a PC who succeeds at a DC 15 Survival check to Track can follow the leopards or lions to their lair. The PC gains a +1 circumstance bonus to this check if the felines have killed a goblin and escaped with its body, or a +2 circumstance bonus if a member of the party succeeded at a Nature check to Recall Knowledge regarding where the felines might be hiding.
Why has the above question never been answered when this is a very popular repeatable scenario for beginning players? Please, someone, anyone at all, answer this.

I'm guessing the lower DC is for subtier 1-2 characters and the higher DC is for subtier 3-4 characters
