Recommendations for a good, short Tier 3-7 scenario

Sczarni 4/5 RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16

Hey, all!

My normal gaming group can't play this week due to a couple of players being out of town. So I'm going to be running a Pathfinder Society game for the three remaining players, all of whom have 3rd or 4th level PFS characters.

The group is a bit tired of the 1-5s, so I'm looking for recommendations for a fun Tier 3-7 scenario that can be run in about 3 1/2 hours. My group likes a good mix of combat and roleplay, so it'd be nice to have a balanced game rather than a straight-out dungeon crawl.

The party consists of a Bard (she might have multiclassed last level into Bard/Ranger), a Summoner, and a Barbarian.

Thanks!

1 person marked this as a favorite.

Song of the Sea Witch is pretty solid and tends to run fairly quickly. Sanos Abduction is another one that combines some roleplay with plenty of interesting combat encounters.

5/5

Midnight Mauler can run in 3 hours and is a fun fast-paced ride.

One of my favorite BBEG moments:

Spoiler:
The old wolfman hunches down on the cobblestones, panting from the chase and glaring with fiery red eyes. “So, you’re the lap dogs the Decemvirate sent to cull me? Pathetic. All of your cut throats will barely slake my thirst from our little run.”
Low, feral growling can be heard coming from the shadows of a nearby alley.
The Mauler grins, bearing ragged, yellow fangs. “How shall we do this, little ones?”

Midnight Mauler and Wardstone Patrol can both run a touch short. Both also have some great RP moments.

Not if you're playing Wardstone Patrol on the high subtier. There's one fight that becomes really nasty and can take a while if the GM knows what he's doing.

Well, that's true, it does take longer at a higher tier, but he said that his group was leveled 3-4.

Fair, I usually recommend that groups play Wardstone Patrol at high tier though if possible.
