"Get into the castle" scenario

Sovereign Court 2/5 RPG Superstar 2009 Top 32

I'm looking for a PFS scenario where the goal is to get inside a castle (or mansion or similar structure) to get a McGuffin, where the PCs have several ways of actually getting in, and a full frontal murderhobo assault is not the way to do it. So depending on their skillset they could sneak, or bluff their way in, or disguise as servants, or whatever else they come up with. Combat in the scenario is fine, of course, just not charging the gate and killing everybody.

Can anyone give suggestions please? I'm not looking for one particular scenario that I've played but forgot, but searching for something to run. Mid-level preferred but not required. Thank you!

The Sun Orchid Scheme is one great heist

5/5 *****

Raid on Cloudborne Keep seems to fit the bill although you arent looking for a macguffin.

5/5 *****

Fury of the Final Blade is a rescue mission.

An utterly murderous one but still a rescue mission.

Forged in Flame, Part 2: Cleansed with Fire is another one. (You don't necessarily need to have played the first one to understand this one. They are loosely tied together.)

Seconding The Disappeared.

Seeker level play, but the ultimate goal of Unleashing the Untouchable is to get into the fortress and use the McGuffin.

Was just about to mention this - John you ninja! Need to sneak your way back up to PaizoCon!

The first part of #1-38 No Plunder, No Pay (7-11) takes the players to a castle-like structure where they have to come up with a plan for getting what they've come for out of the structure.

Thanks for the suggestions! I think I'm going with Cleansed With Fire, it seems to fit the location best; and it has reasonably good ratings.
