In my campaign, i transplanted the Rainbow Mounds sans trolls to the northern Zola Fel (just north of Leaping Place Falls) and made it a long forgotten temple to the Cleansed One, who got imprisoned in the statue after he was killed by the Mother of Lizards. The Mother of Lizards was herself imprisoned within her cave by the power of the Cleansed One. During the centuries of her imprisonment she has learned how to create Rock Lizard Drones, as well as intelligent Rock Lizards, so the place and the surrounding area is stuffed with cunning packs of Rock Lizards.

Since this happened over a thousand years ago, no one remembers the event or the location of the temple and only the legend of the abandoned, cursed temple remains. I tied it into the Troubled Waters campaign and got the PCs thinking that maybe the gorp plague emanated from the legendary temple. Of course it didn't but they got to find and cleanse the temple of the Cleansed One from the resident evil and thus added a rationale why the PCs would be chosen by Zola Fel to be River Voices. They haven't freed the Cleansed One yet.

If you really want to play Apple Lane and move on to RoC, then transplant the scenario to some sleepy, backward village in Pavis County, like Bullford.

You could of course play Rainbow Mounds as is as well, though tying it into the Troubled Waters makes for good campaign continuity.
