Searching 1 out of the 4 search tokens isn't going to break your campaign. Still plenty of gold to get later especially if you bring a thief along. I'd consider it fine play from the OL player. Making the Mauler charging ahead doesn't seem like all that unthematic to me.
Well, if you follow the theme as instructed by the text on the intro, your goal as the Overlord is to prevent the heroes from killing Mauler, and to make the goblins run toward the secret path. So, charging with Mauler seems at least unthematic as he can't stand too long alone against the 4 heroes at once. No to speak about the "I don't give a f#ck about the goblins".
You're actually denying the heroes their objective by giving up yours... And it's your best move! Doesn't feel thematic at all to send the creature you have to protect from being killed, right into the swords and axes of the heroes.
Anyway, this game is not about theme, that was obvious after 2 plays. It doesn't mean it's not a good game.
