Stabbyface was kidnapped by those shiny longshanks and mades to reads books and mannerses.
Stabbyface burns it downs though, uses the wordses from the books they trieds to hide in the attic.
Now Stabbyface is a Magi and wents to Longacre. Hopefully there's plenty of things for Stabbyface to burns down in Hell's Vengeance.
Love this concept!
If you set the orphanage in the Taldan town of Heldren, Reign of Winter might be a fun option.
I'm not sure if it would work with everyone being from an orphanage, but our Goblin Magus that escaped from and burned down an Iomedaen orphanage in Isger is the hit in our Hell's Vengeance party. :-)

Skull & Shackles could be fun. Who doesn't love a ship full of Goblins?

Skull and Shackles
Seeing the goblins out at the tavern Mr. Scourge sees a potentially promotion making opportunity.
Chelaxians use halflings for a lot of their ships because they take up a lot less space and eat a lot less food. Why can't the Cap'n do the same?!
Never the brightest tool in the shed Mr. Scourge forgets the Goblin propensity to set things on fire. Surely that won't be a problem.
The idea of an entire ship manned by goblins just struck me as a cool concept. :)
Curse of the Crimson Throne could work with a few twists, definitely. Make Korvosa a bit more accepting of strange races due to its need to survive against the Shoanti early on, and have Lamm running an operation with monstrous races. Sure, goblins might be tolerated (barely) but they are the lowest on the race ladder and Lamm caught up on that. No one is going to bother too much about them, right?
Legacy of fire could also work, Katapesh is also quite cosmopolitan as a goblin tribe wants to join in with the Pactmasters and set their own outpost. I could sort of see it in a weird way with Second Darkness, too, you make your way to the casino as the new attraction, then get backstabbed when inconvenient (again, who would care). The relations with the elves may be a bit strained, but at least there is a reason for it.
Without a change in the fluff, I would probably to with Legacy of Fire or Skulls and Shackles.
you could do way of the wicked. if skull and shackeles is the one im thinking of were you get kidnaped by pirates and are forced to work on a boat i can tell you it is boring as hell and non of us including the dm liked running it
Way of the Wicked with goblin characters would be hilarious and awesome fun as well. The only catch being that they have to be evil for it to work. If they don't want to be evil I recommend Serpent Skull as an alternative.
ya there may be a snag in the 1st act but as long as the dm retunes it from them(the goblins) being imprisoned to the boss guy sending the goblins in to free what would then become the 7th knot it would workyou could do way of the wicked. if skull and shackeles is the one im thinking of were you get kidnaped by pirates and are forced to work on a boat i can tell you it is boring as hell and non of us including the dm liked running itWay of the Wicked with goblin characters would be hilarious and awesome fun as well.

To that point the GM should probably insist on them all having at least 1 rank in disguise skill. Otherwise future missions may become too difficult.
The problem with Hell's Rebels is that you'll have to hand-wave the "goblins wreaking havoc" problem: everybody will know who it is.
Add more Goblins then. :-)
Tacticslion had whole Goblin Hellknight orders (note the plural) in Council of Thieves . . . Tactislion, where are you?
Iron Gods.
Goblins... with lasers!

Wrath of the Righteous could be hilarious.
"And Lo, Iomedae looked down from the Heavens to see what brave and worthy souls called for her aid in Golarion's hour of need...
And as the scribes of Heaven recorded every word:
"Finally. Hail, great... wait, Goblins? Goblins? Are you ******* ******** me? No way, NO FREAKING WAY it would be ******* goblins. I hate those ****-******* little *****.""
By the way, what about Council of Thieves? Imagine how the rendition of the Trials will look with the supporting cast being goblins -the MC with hat of disguise so we don´t offend the delicate Asmodean sensibilities.
Book 1 of Serpent's Skull - because Goblins on a ship will certainly wreck it on a deserted island
Once they manage to escape, they crash late night onto another island, leading into Book 2 of Second Darkness.
Teaming up with a group of heros who are following up from the events of Book 1 (of SD), they decide to help out and join them for Book 3 - Armageddon Echo.
After having enough of saving elves "for no good reason", maybe they head to Katapesh and unfortunately find themselves sucked into Book 4 of Legacy of Fire, maybe even Book 5 if you want to be exceptionally cruel...
Because ... when else are you going to run these APs? :)
Where to go from here? Whichever end game sounds more fun. My vote would be to circle back to Serpent's Skull via some darklands exploration...
It took five sessions for that! I wrapped that part up in one. :-)

im assiming your talking about the one were your kidnaped by pirates. no it took 5 sesions just to get out of act 1 and and it was sooo boring all it was was chores all day drinking booze all night and nothing happend really
You didn't even go crab fishing? Sounds like bad GMing.

I can't believe Goblin Skull and Shackles was proposed without mentioning One of my favorite Goblin Songs
hmm... Skull and Shackles, with an all goblin ship.... The first thing I thought of with this combo was the Tuskegee Airmen - solely in terms of their heroics being so well recognized today, even if at the time, the majority of military didn't want anything to do with them.
Tying in heartfelt notes of the characters overcoming the racism they face would be pretty powerful. Given that the goblins would be raised in town and absent the tribal shenanigans - will your players be disappointed that they wouldn't be playing quintessential pathfinder goblins a la "We Be Goblins?"

+1 for Wrath of the Righteous. It wouldn't be merely good-aligned taking on the Abyssal invasion. It would be mythic good-aligned goblins.
There's even a plot hook to get the goblins in the Worldwound, a missing paladin who could be the goblins favorite caretaker at the orphanage.
