Im going to be running a one shot at my library and have the idea plannned out, but just need a good combat encounter. The party will be 6 players that are level 5, not sure what classes, and most are fairly new to dnd. So im just wondering what would be a good encounter that isn't too complicated, but is still interesting. The encounter would take place in a regular town in a foresty area.

What kind of encounter are you looking for? Difficult? Fun? Somewhere in between? Here are a couple ideas you could start with
Single Big Bad - Tyrannosaurus Rex or Young Green Dragon
Multiple Enemies - Troll x2 or x3 (Two for medium difficulty, 3 for hard difficulty)
Slightly More Flavorful - Air Elemental, Earth Elemental, and a Water Elemental
Memorable But Easy Fight - Giant Wasp x30 (If you do this one, would turn them into minions with 1 HP each for easier book keeping)
Just a few ideas to help get you started
