Hi guys. I've been keeping up with Pathfinder, but haven't purchased any PDFs... yet.
In a game that my friends and I are playing, I have recently taken over as GM. After reading the description for Fortress it sounds like I could almost drop it into our game to enhance a previous story line where we faced several giants.
Do you folks think it is possible to introduce this portion of the AP as a new adventure? Or is there too much necessary background, encounters, and info in the earlier parts of the AP? Is the area too important to throw into an established game, or could the Fortress be "in the mountains" near one of our cities?
If it goes well, I bet that we'd try to finish out the AP.
Thank you for any advice.

I think it would be easy - you need to ignore / change some information the party gathers later in the adventure that points to the last acts of RotRL, but other than that you should be fine. You might tweak the character motivations for beginning the adventure a bit, but considering you want to drop it into an existing campaign you probably need to do that with every published adventure.

Thanks for input. I'm hoping that we would continue with the rest of the Runelords AP after this. Plus, I'm thinking that maybe the attack by the giants towards the beginning should be motivation enough to go after them.
If anyone else has advice I would welcome it.

The only thing I would want to add to what Feytharn has said - which I agree with - is that you would want to find a way to slip in the last encounter from the Hook Mountain Massacre, where Karazog finally introduces himself. (It does not have to be in order, as slipping it in after the Stone Giant attack would work better with your structure.)
