A Pathfinder Bounty designed for 1st-level characters.
In the shadow-darkened alleys and fields of Nidal, a scarecrow lurks the night,taking people from yards and common areas before disappearing without a trace. A bounty has been posted on this nefarious fiend, but things may be even murkier than the heroes expect in this land of perpetual twilight.

Scarecrow is a mix of investigation, skills, and combat.
Scarecrow is a fun time and it has surprising depth for a bounty and can potentially even have a moral decision to be made.
The only bad thing you can say about it is how long it takes. For roleplayers, it will take much longer than an hour. For us I believe it took over 2 hours. It takes time investigating five locations.

Wanted post, Atteran ranch head, and villagers

Overall: One of the best bounties. I've GMed this 3 times now and every game we come to a different conclusion and finale. Just excellent.
This has to be one of my favorite bounties to date (as of writing, that is 9). It is well written, has lots of roleplay opportunity for a bounty, and the combat is unique and engaging.
I have gm this adventure one time. (mostly archers)
More fun to master than i thought. I was thinking it it will be complicated with the lot of action. But it was easy to put on a map and there no specific token so you can put your own.
Spoiler:
The foes have an unique rating. That should not be possible. a named character should not be unique. Teflar should have the uncommon or the rare tag but an unique tag? Was she The Chosen one for Zon-kuton we didn't know? A mask give you the unique rating? and a weird power for a mask.
When i gm it, i didn't realised that Kuruda attacks first and not just shove the pc. (note for futur gm)
Again, the adjustement square is written Bestiary 6 and not Bestiary P.6 I suppose now that all the bounties will have this error.
A pet peeve also. The stat block for Teflar is separated in two section, between a page map. So, I needed to scroll down and up 2 pages each time.
