Beacon in the Dark is a short D&D 4th Edition adventure module designed for characters levels 11 through 13. It can be tied into an existing adventure, or ran as a one-shot. The players are tasked with escorting a group of spellcasters (who are written as full-fledged companion type NPCs) into the underground to kick out some Drow, essentially. It has serviceable artwork and layout, and at only 21 pages and three encounters, it can be read and included in a game fairly quickly. The companion NPCs are a good variety of characters who offer a decent bit of roleplay fodder, each with different motivations and secrets. Without going into spoilers territory: the first battle seems likely to be over quickly depending on the size of the group, and the skill challenge in the middle is handled in a fairly clever fashion. The final battle will likely stretch PCs to the very limits, as it requires them to pursue a non-standard objective will fighting through waves of enemies. Overall for the price it's hard to go wrong if you want a quick Drow beat-em-up to drop into your campaign.
