TL; DR-Short, very short adventure. 87%
Basics- Where are the boys?! Many Minotaur young have gone missing. Can you find them in time? A VERY short adventure for levels 1-2.
Mechanics or Crunch: This adventure is short, but the crunch is ok. The basics are two fights and a haunt. It’s not bad, but its designed for the new streamlined adventures. It could use a bit more skill challenges, but overall it works. 4.5/5
Theme or Fluff– The theme is good, but abridged again. They introduce the four missing kids and even give them a handout. But beyond that, there really isn’t a reason to dig too deeply into their individuality. The story is good but not as developed as it could be. Even the minotaur village is a short stop in what could have been a longer interlude. 4/5
Execution: It’s short, but decently polished. The maps are all from one map. The stats are ok, even if they assume I am using the stats from online. There are pictures of most of the NPCs. It’s good, but still misses some of the old Paizo polish. 4.5/5
Summary: I don’t hate this, but this feels like a quest. It plays in under two hours. That was the goal, so that worked. But I expect more from the society adventures. It’s not bad. It works well with this new format. But I want more. Good, but held back by society’s new goals. 87%
