Looking for adventure ideas

For any ed of DND, I'm looking for quick ideas of adventures that could either happen IN a dwarvish city, or which dwarves would hire an outsider group of humans/half elves to do.

Anything that could be torn from a module or would work with a bit of modification is best...

They would probably need help reaching things on top shelves.

And now for an answer that doesn't sound antagonistic ;). If you're shooting for something lighter perhaps the dwarves could be:
  • seeking advisors/testers/models/guinea pigs for new products (booze/armaments/mushroom drugs) designed for races outside their stronghold
  • caught up in a wave of xenophobia or cultural appropriation and the PCs get caught up in it when a prominent figure manipulates them into making things better/worse
  • bickering with gnomes over mineral rights the PCs help as neutral mediators

For the DARK FANTASY that seems to be all the rage these days the dwarves could be:
  • attacked by a manufactured disease that only affects them, they summon the aid of heroes to plunge into the Underdark and stop the fiends responsible
  • having discovered an ancient artifact in their tunnels that consumes lives and grants power they wish to lure the PCs in a hapless victims
  • wishing to eliminate a political rival they hire the PCs to wreak some havoc while making it look like just a bunch of crazed adventurers charging through (not a big stretch for some PC groups)
