So my group is inside Fort Ranick, they've came in through the caves and already found a replacement pc in the cells below the fort. They've cleared the first floor and stopped there. I have a new player jumping in with a druid, so my question is, Is there a logical point for her to be in the fort and not just be a nother prisoner? Or does she have to wait till the rain section after fort rannick?

If she's a Druid why not have her approach the Fort for an unrelated reason,

** spoiler omitted ** Then you have a reason for her to be there that has nothing to do with the party (seeking help as if she's bee nin the wilderness she won't know about the ogre attack) and she's a ready made plot hook, to boot. What's not to like? ;-)
I like it...
We had a character that was picked up in Fort Rannick--an ex-black arrow who had been hiding near the area with the spectre after realising that Jakardros's counterattack was doomed to fail. He came out when he heard the PCs attacking things outside. The Druid might have also been hiding in a similar area that the ogres might not have wanted to approach, or perhaps among the shocker lizards due to Druidic abilities to deal with low-Int creatures.

One moonless night the High Druidess of the Shimmerglens receieved three distraught visitors: a raven, a falcon and a sparrow.
The raven cawed, "Our man friends, they are slain."
The falcon screeched, "Twice-men, tall and fat, struck them low."
The sparrow sung, "Their swift branches, dark and and silent as the night, could not avail them."
Then in unison they cried, "Oh woe, it is a field of death!"
Being wise the High Druidess knew immediately their meaning. So she gathered to her her finest disciples and told them, "I fear the Black Arrows have been slain, and Fort Rannick has fallen. Who of you is brave enough to discover the truth of this?"

That's really good. I ended up having the pcs discover her in the pantry barricaded away from the ogres, using the pickled fish to keep them at bay. The ogres were toying with their other spoils and were going to get to her eventually. She then told the party that she was investigating a missing fey noble and her divinations brought her here.
