Pathfinder Adventure Path #91: Battle of Bloodmarch Hill
Enemy at the Gates!
The Giantslayer Adventure Path begins! In the human town of Trunau, a beleaguered settlement surrounded by the brutal orcs of the Hold of Belkzen, the heroes must investigate a mysterious death. Before they uncover the truth, however, Trunau comes under attack by an orc army, and the heroes must help defend it—only to discover that the situation is worse than anyone realizes. For even the fearsome orc raid is just a distraction allowing a giant chieftain to recover the relics of an ancient giant hero from a tomb long forgotten beneath the town.

A murder mystery investigation and town defense rolled into one. This is a perfectly acceptable start to a campaign, though I didn't feel like there was anything particularly novel or exciting, with the exception of the adventure hook at the very end of the path, leading into part 2 (finding out that the giants are behind the attack on Trunau and uncovering part of their plot).
