A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 3-6.
While on a routine mission to catalogue a collection of family heirlooms for House Junianis in the Chelish city of Hinji, four Pathfinder agents have mysteriously vanished. Suspecting foul play, the Pathfinder Society dispatches a group of more experienced agents to learn what fate befell their colleagues. It does not take long to confirm that someone had it out for the Pathfinders—but who, and why?

I've only played this so far, but plan to run it later.
An amazing scenario. Very different feeling and theme from the usually light-hearted pfs adventures.
We were playing at the high end of tier 5-6. The game ran a bit long even with us skipping two combats (I think?) through some creative solutions (both of which were apparently included in the scenario writing!) but our group also had lots of roleplay and took a while at the beginning with the investigation - I think it could have been a lot shorter.
Combats were pleasantly challenging and felt very well balanced, sharp eyes and keen minds were rewarded, as were actual tactics and battle plans (instead of just 'rushing in').
I can not properly emphasize how much I enjoyed the theme and feel of the game. It is considerably darker than usual scenarios though. Wish we had gotten more information out of antagonist, but I already have my own conspiracy theories of what's going on!
Looking forward to this plot continuing (assuming so!) in year 3!
Then, that structure ends and suddenly it goes from #13 to #1-00, #1-01 etc.
Why?
The ones that run from #1 through #13 are called Quests, hourlong adventures for the Pathfinder Soceity Organized Play campaign. They're different from Scenarios, which run for 4 hours.
The Powers-That-Be liked very short adventures, but tying them to the Organized Play campaign increased the playtime above an hour, so they were folded into the Pathfinder Bounty line of Standalone Adventures.
