4th Edition D&D Short Intro Adventure

searchingWho would have thought that a major gaming company would fail to provide free, short intro adventures for their big new product?  I mean, seriously, you want to hook people into your game, you give them something their first level characters can dip their toes in, right? 

Oh, wait... we're talking about WotC, aren't we?

*sigh*

Okay, here's my problem.  I've been blithely assuming such a thing exists and scheduled a "make a character and play" session for this weekend.  Saturday, to be precise.  And now that I've lined people up... no adventure.  *head*desk*head*desk*.

And so, I come to you, my brilliant, connected, GAMER friends, to see if any of YOU have something I might be able to use.  I've got a 4 hour slot, probably half of which will be character building.  I just need an itty bitty demo that will showcase a little of what makes 4th Ed D&D interesting enough to play again.

Anybody?

There are also some scenarios, including a set of Keep on the Shadowfell expansions, free from Dungeon on the Wizards site.

Everything I could find on the Wizard's Site was for higher levels - the lowest was 3rd level.

I was honestly trying to avoid the Kobolds... several of the potential players have expressed deep loathing for the Kobolds. Plus, it being in the DMG, they'll have all read it. I've got 2 hours to work with...

I'd LOVE to get my hands on one of the Free RPG Day scenarios, but can't find anyone who's got one that I can borrow. I think I was assuming WotC would put them on the site for download, y'know?

Thanks!

Perhaps <a href="http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/duad/20080711>the Adventure Path</a> will suit.

Still long for my timeframe, but it looks like it's something I can use for further occasions. Thanks!
