Hi all,
I'm planning a Dugobras attack to Redgorge before "Lords of Oblivion". Do you think Pathfinder #4 -- Rise of the Runelords Chapter 4: "Fortress of the Stone Giants" would be suitable for my plans? Thanks.

I think so. Its a bit lengthy for a 'side quest.' I've always thought that the Dungeon Mag adventure "HEADLESS" would be ideal - especially with the Demon involvement and how that synchronizes with what's already going on in Shackled City.

If you are looking for ideas specifically about Dugabras attack on Redgorge, I am not sure this adventure will help a lot. The adventure does start with an attack on a town by giants (quite a few) and support from other creatures. The way Paizo set up this encounter would work very well for any raid against a static target, so I would think that this format would be the most useful thing, but would need to be adjusted heavily to fit what you are talking about.
Out of curiosity, WHY is Dugobras going to be attacking Redgorge in your game?

Thanks. Is there any idea or reference that could be useful, then?
Long story short: A PC traded the group scape from Dugrobras' lair in the Demonskar by swearing him that he would help him in his forging objectives (create magic object). But he avoided his word, so Dugobras is in town for retribution.
Besides, Dugobras see the weakness of Cauldron now, so he thinks it's a good time to attack Redgorge and its mining resources (IMG there's mithril there).
Nothing comes to mind as something that you can transfer directly over. Perhaps DD's invasion of Redgorge and include Dugobras in this? Or you could take the raid from RotR #4 and change it up to be Dugobras and some stone and hill giant friends. Another thought would be to use Frost Giants, I seem to recall them being mentioned in both the history of the region and on the map of the region but not really ever making an appearance in the area.
Unfortunately though, like many plot specific side-quests, I think you are going to need to develop this one on your own.
I suppose another idea would be to insert him while they are on their way to some other plot point that you know they will be at (and where he will still provide an applicable challenge). What step of the path are you currently on and what level are your PCs?
