Good module to introduce one newbie to Pathfinder with an experienced group?

[JumpmanKain]

I've got a friend who has never played any tabletop RPGs and is interested in trying Pathfinder. She's pretty busy with school and work so she can't commit to a long campaign for now, so I'm looking for a good one-shot module (like one 4-6 hour session) to introduce her to the game system. We'll be playing with a group of three other players who have a few years of experience.

Ideally, I'd like something with a good mix of combat and role playing so she gets the full experience. Level 1 is fine, but I think I'd prefer to play level 3-5 characters so the combat options are a bit more varied. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I recommend The Assimilation Strain, the standalone prologue for the Legendary Planet adventure path. It's mainly an investigation-style quest, with enough challenge to keep your experienced players on their toes and a fair mix of roleplaying elements. ^^

Feast of Ravenmoor is an excellent Paizo-published adventure which would fit the bill.

Night March of Kalkamedes is your huckleberry.

It seems designed to show jaded vets a good time, while hooking newbies with its problem-solving, roleplay with a unique item and BBEG with a twist!

You’ll be done in 3-4 hours max, and I can’t think of a better way for a new player to experience Pathfinder for the first time amid a group of veterans.

I didn’t think about PFS; you’re right, Night March is a really good choice.

While I do love Feast of Ravenmoor, I would not recommend it for someone who's new to RPGs.

It's a complex adventure with weird stuff going on in the background, some deep mysteries that are never explained in-game, "friendly" NPCs who are anything but, and a morally-ambiguous ending.

Instead, I'd recommend Into the Haunted Forest, Crypt of the Everflame, Hollow's Last Hope, or Murder's Mark.
