I'm looking for a quick AP or something similar that new players could run through in 30 minutes or so that would expose them to the three pillars and provide a reasonably satisfying little story. I recognize that it may not be possible to provide all of that in the given time frame, but that's the hope of it's possible.
My LGS is doing a short 'teaching D&D for new players' event later this month. The idea is 30-45 minutes for each group of 4ish people to expose them a little bit to the game. I'll be one of the teacher/DMs. They have some starter sets, so we have the pregen characters, but I'm not sold on using the beginning of LMoP as the demo adventure. I'd really prefer something that can expose them to exploration and social interaction as well as combat, and that leaves them with at least some story-based resolution/accomplishment by the end, but that's quite a bit to ask in the time window given.
So I'm looking for some suggestions. The two things I've thought of so far are 1) finding an adventure on DMs Guild or elsewhere that has a scene that can be excepted, that's fitting for 1st level characters and fits my stated goals, or 2) modifying the beginning of LMoP (I'm thinking of the goblin encounter oin the road) to incorporate content to meet my stated goals. Anyone have any experience/suggestions based on those ideas, or any other ideas?
