A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st- through 4th-level characters.

The Maze of the Open Road has mostly been stabilized, and yet agents are still ending up at the wrong destination. While no one has been hurt, Venture-Captain Sigvard Tornkvist fears that it might be a matter of time until injury or worse results. She tasks the PCs with investigating the cause of these mishaps, and dealing with it if possible. Little do the PCs know what they've gotten themselves into, but there's a nonzero chance they'll find themselves in a dance-off before their mission is complete.

    4/5 —

    This scenario is light-hearted and fun for a repeatable. I like that instead of minimal randomness, it's the group that is deciding between multiple options to tailor their experience.

    While the chase seems hard, I greatly appreciate that there are multiple scales between success and failure. The final combat option is difficult, and a sneak attack shuriken Toshiro can eliminate a PC before they can act. (That's why you should pick Dance-Off.)

    The editing seemed good for the scenario; it was only marred by the chronicle sheet calling Toshiro "Tanshiro". It was nice to receive high-quality map images with the PDF, but it's possible they are too high-quality for VTTs (roll20 upload size limit) or downloading in some regions.

    Overall, I enjoyed playing and running this, so 4 stars!

    Is this ONLY going to require the forest tiles starter set? Gonna run it next week and want to make sure I have the maps I need.

    Why is the pdf for this thing nearly 20 times the size of the pdf for the other pfs scenario this month?

    The PDF is actually of reasonable size -- but the ZIP file contains some absurdly large map (PNG) files.

    Ah. Guess I should have opened the zip before asking.

    Anybody have the list of tiles needed? There's no page in the scenario that list them like there usually is.

    The lack of Tile Numbers is world rendering hard mode. Why we have pictures of the maps but no way to quickly reference the tiles is... Irritating.

    And while I'm complaining - please, for the love of all goodness - start including the range of numbers for the enemies so "Minimum - Maximum" instead of having the number for base challenge for the encounter and having to reference the box adds like 20 minutes to my prep' time. This would be the single biggest Quality of Life improvement for me as a GM, as I try and have miniatures for every battle.

    Any chance we can get a list of which tiles are referenced for which maps?

    Hey Guys, I ran it on Saturday. I have to say this was incredibly annoying. It was such a mess to switch maps, especially because they share tiles. (Related: there was so much switching that I ended up losing one of my tiles, I'm genuinely very bothered.) In addition, one of the maps used THE SAME PIECE. This Flip tile hassle: I could not give this adventure more that 4 stars. Building such massive maps and not including the Flip tiles should not be allowed.

    Anyway:

    Hopefully these are correct(but the best way to get the right answer is to be wrong). Like I said, it was an utter mess, my group did 3 combats.

    I know that it's too late for you two, but hopefully this will help others in the future.

    This PDF has been updated with assembly guides for the flip-tile maps. Our apologies for the omission, and thank you for your patience as we corrected it!

    No other part of this scenario was altered in this process.

    I've downloaded the scenario after receiving an email concerning the update but the pdf still does not seem to contain assembly instructions. Have I missed something?

    I had the same problem

    One note, of the Tanuki Trickster stat blocks:

    Tonta's unarmed strike damage is increased to 1d6, but for the base Tanuki Tricksters, the damage is already 1d6.
