Adventure needed for my group

[Nargath]

I have a group that I am now DMing for, but I need some advice on what adventure to pick up and run.

The group already have characters created for my game, just need a game to run them in!

They are 8th level, and based in Greyhawk. Ideally I would like them to be at 8th, but moving them up 1 or 2 levels isn't an issue either. They are well-rounded, with all the usuals (the fighter, thief, mage and cleric).

Expedition to Demonweb Pits caught my eye, but I think someone else will be running that soon. Expedition to Ruins of Greyhawk looks good, but the big gaping holes in it are a little daunting for me. I can handle making little details up on the fly, and rearranging the story if need be, but inventing big slabs of dungeons just does my head in!

Im looking for something with more than just a dungeon in it. I want to give the PCs something more to do than swing a weapon, so something with different sorts of encounters and scenarios would be cool.

Is there any 3rd party stuff as well that I should be looking out for, from some of the big OGL producers? I'm still getting my feet wet in all that stuff, so I'm not sure where to be looking.

Check out the gamemastery/pathfinder modules from Paizo. Especially The Pact Stone Pyramid. It is a dungeon with a twist.

Definitely The Styes or And Madness Followed. Also, The Styes has a sequal called The Weavers that's okay.

And, if the Dungeon Issues are not easily available, check out . . .
(Depending on what your nearest environment is)

If they are based in the Free City of Greyhawk itself then Gallery Of Evil should adapt well.

If you want to make them to travel somewhere then check out Crucible of Chaos.

And then there is the afore mentionedThe Pact Stone Pyramid.

Or even . . .
Clash of the Kingslayers

[Ratchet]

You could try out Goodmans Games Dungeon Crawl CLassics line. They are awesome for easy pickup games that mainly invovle killing hordes of gribblies and taking their stuff.

[Krell]

Big fan of Lord of the Scarlet Tide. It takes place in the neighborhood too, Narwell.

[Quillion]

I have always liked The Banewarrens by Monte Cook's Malhavoc Press.
