Pathfinder Tales: "Krunzle the Quick" [RPG]

SPOILERS


Krunzle the Quick is a short story available as free web fiction on the Paizo site.  Krunzle is a thief who is caught after a botched job in Elidir and sold into slavery.  He's bought by a wizard named Baalariot and magically compelled to sneak into a rival wizard's house to get a magic item called the "apprentice's eye."  But the amulet is guarded by a giant snake, and it turns out it's all a distraction, and something to do with a daughter who wants to marry someone, and blah, it's really poorly done.  I don't get the sense the author has any particular knowledge of Pathfinder or Golarion, and there's nothing that makes the story worth reading.  Although some of the artwork is quite good, I'd definitely recommend skipping this one.
