I'm looking for suggestions for a one shot campaign for 5 x lvl 3 characters (5e). We have all played together online for several sessions in a regular campaign in which I am one of the players, but now we are getting together in person for a weekend of D&D and some beach activities and I agreed to DM the one shot weekend adventure. We will likely have 2 - 3 sessions of about 3 - 5 hours each. Any ideas for a good commercial one shot? I don't mind if I have to purchase a longer campaign book, with the idea that I would just use one or more modules from it. My group definitely likes combat, but also enjoys RP, exploration, puzzles, etc.
I plan to edit the adventure to fit my ideas and the characters involved, but I would like a good starting point from something already packaged. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks!!
Thanks! I actually have Candlekeep on the shelf, and I do like some of the chapters, but I wasn't thrilled with the stories set up for ~level 3. I can take another look though.
I am now considering running part of the Sunless Citadel for my party of five level 3 characters, with the idea that I can cut it down in length so as to finish in 2 - 3 sessions of about 3 - 4 hours each. If anyone has some thoughts about modifying Sunless Citadel for this timeframe, I would love to hear them!

Thanks for the suggestion, but my players are fairly new to D&D and I think they will want to stay at level 3.
