A good idea is the classic 'haunted graveyard' scenario, to let the players get a feel for the combat and magic system and give you a feel for DM'ing. The 'graveyard' scenario will acomplish two things: 1. Give the PC's one or two levels under their belts.2. Give you time to further develop the main campaign.Good creatures to put in the 'haunted graveyard' are the following:1. A few small groups of medium-Size skeletons. (3 to 6 skeletons per group, depending on the size of the Party.)2. A few small groups of zombies (2-4 zombies per group)3. A couple of ghouls (one or two at a time.)4. A ghost quest (i.e: find an object in a tomb and retun it to the ghost for Xp.)5. one Ghast (be sure to reward the PC's with a couple of minor magic items for this one, for example a wand of cure light wounds with 10 to 20 charges, a +1 short sword, and other such stuff.=6. One or two mummies (in a locked crypt, reward players with minor scrolls and perhaps a ring of protection +1 or some such as a reward if they pull it off.)7. A few small groups of about 6 dire rats per group, for variety.An interresting idea that could lead into the big adventure is that the bard is a ghost...Above all, be creative, and remember, do not be afraid to give out treasure, if in doubt, go with lot's of weaker treasure over a few powerful items.Happy gaming <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
