Hi, I'm looking to a run an adventure for my friends next week, and I was wondering if anyone would recommend some of the Dungeon adventures.  I'm looking for something in the upper herotic tier (5-10 levels), although I'm flexible on this (my preference would be lower rather than higher, though).

Mainly, though, I'm looking for something that makes it a little more interesting than "go get the thingy and kill everything along the way".  Not that I'm opposed to combat (hardly!), but I'd really like either some cool fight scenes, an interesting plot (with a little opportunity for roleplaying would be nice), and/or some sort of interesting twist.

What have people had the most fun with?  Let me know!

Thanks!

My recommendations are The Tyrant's Oath, Oasis of the Golden Peacock, or Remains of the Empire. Tyrant's Oath is R. E. Howard-style pulp; Golden Peacock calls for some stealth and intrigue in an exotic setting; and Remains involves exploring some unusual ruins.

None of those links worked for me; sorry Steve.

Try here, here, and here, respectively, instead.

Oops. They were all directed toward our development server instead of the live servers. I fixed 'em, just to make myself look less clueless.

Thanks to both of you!  I'm reading through The Tyrant's Oath now, and I think that looks great.  I especially like the use of a skill challenge to resolve a big battle.
