Recently i had this cool idea for a convoy-esc campaign where the players accompany a fallen elven empire to their holy land to begin anew after their previous capital and all major city’s fell due to a shadow plague that quickly killed and ate the elves flesh. Throughout the campaign players will be faced with choices to betray the elves and potentially be payed handsomely or continue with the contract they had already agreed to. Throughout the adventure to the holy land they will also be faced with evils and dangers trying to attack the elven caravan and gain the endless treasure rumored to be stored throughout the caravan. Toward the end of the journey if the players did not betray the elves earlier the leader of the elves can die from either a landslide or similar disaster or an attack from a particularly powerful enemy after which the players have to make a choice whether just to deliver the elves to the hoy land as promised or become leaders of the empire once the elves have settled. If the players choose to become leaders of the elven nation a follow up campaign can be run set a few years in the future where during a celebration, the shadow plague that destroyed the empire previously returns and threatens the new empire. Throughout the campaign the players must fight the zombies created by the evolved shadow plague and try to create a cure to save the empire. I wasn’t able to run this campaign since the party wanted a different person to dm but it may work with your group.
I recently created and ran a One-Shot for our group of players.
Basic overview: The party was trekking through the Jungle of Mazteca, and hear commotion. Sneaking up and Peering through the Jungle they see a group of Bullywug and Bullywug Warrior finishing slaying a Displacer Beast. There is a crude crate on the ground that once the fight is done the party can hear the cries of kittens (Displacer Beast Kittens). Trying to save the Kittens, the group end up in a chase as the Bullywug grab the crate and run underground. The path leads to a huge Cenote (or Grotto) type fissure in the ground with multiple levels, stairs, and paths. At the bottom there is an enchanted pool that a small waterfall is flowing into, but never fills up, this is a Portal to the Feywild. The Bullywug are working for the BBEG that is in the Feywild (Hag) and the party has to run the 'chase' encounter to try and save the kittens.
It was fun and challenging, as running a chase like this was new to me.
If you want to know more, let me know.
Cheers!

Breathe, dragons; sing of the First World, forged out of chaos and painted with beauty. Sing of Bahamut, the Platinum, molding the shape of the mountains and rivers; Sing too of Chromatic Tiamat, painting all over the infinite canvas. Partnered, they woke in the darkness; partnered, they labored in acts of creation.
I need ideas. Simple as that.

Swamps drying up and they have heard of the mythical place called the everswamp, a vast holy land of never ending swamp
Need player approval for this one https://tutuapp.uno/
Also could also just ask the players to have a reason their characters want to go adventuring
Thx a lot guys, this was my 1st post lol.i will definitely use and try out all of y’all’s ideas
