I had the pleasure in participating in one of Bigby's mini-adventures and had a blast! While Taygete was fishing on one of the piers of Bezantur, she had hooked a chest that was full of gold. Upon inspection of the chest it was discovered that it was an offering to Umberlee. My character had to make the decision of returning the offering or taking the gold and running. Fortunately, she made the first choice.
PROs: I liked the dice rolling, really gave it the pen and paper feel. The STR checks to pull the chest out of the water, Lore checks to identify and the detect traps/pick locks to open. This wasn't a hack and slash quickie, it was a cerebral quickie with a simple choice of what to do with the chest. The emoted dialogue as she considered what to do and what she discovered about the chest was cool.
CONs: No real cons Bigby. I think it would've been interesting to have that worshipper of Umberlee be more suspicious of Taygete when she returned the offering, but that's about it.
A great side trek adventure.
