We continued through Aerie of the Crow God.
The party finished exploring the tower. The rooks didn’t prove to be much of a challenge. The ochre jelly managed to surprise them “I told you there was something suspicious about that large puddle!” After retrieving Lord Pendour’s body, they continued to hunt for the missing key.
The party was very careful in making their way across the chasm – Kayla had a rope tied to her waist, so when the centipede rushed her off the bridge, she only has a short fall before being pulled back. The zombies were a breeze. The shrine to Malotoch disturbed them and so they destroyed it. The biggest challenge in fighting the dire rats was making through the tight passageways. Even with Hornhauer’s help the dire rats didn’t stand a chance. The party retrieved the key and debated about doing some more exploring or just returning the key.

I’m actually quite disappointed in this module. So far the encounters have been almost completely unchallenging, especially in proportion to the rewards the party has been collecting. This is a party of 3 players, all at 6th level, so I would have expected some significant challenges by now. Ah well, I can always come up with nastiness on my own….
