Murder on the Silken Caravan
Murder on the Silken Caravan, a Pathfinder Society scenario written by Greg A. Vaughan for tier 1-5, was released in August 2008.
“Volunteers are needed to escort the body of a deceased venture-captain across the parched Qadiran desert to Katheer. The Silken Way offers passage, hauling exotic treasures across the perilous sea of sands. You'll brave bandits, spies, and unwelcome mourners hell-bent on paying respects to your dead companion. Worse still, the caravan's mistress, a satin-swathed Qadiran princess, has designs of her own on you and your cargo.
