Tonight I ran the lower tier in NYC the party consisted of
Fighter Type 5
Cleric 6 (positive channeler)
Cleric 6 (Negative channeler)
Sorcerer 5
The mod started out well for the players a cake walk really the 2nd combat was a good challenge. The third ended without the enemy even going.
What I did....

In your game, did the blind harpies flight straight up at full speed until they eventually saved vs. the blindness?
With the rest of the party in the church, I would have had the final Harpy fly down after the fighter and take him out. Why would it leave like it did?
w/o a fly spell and/or a ranged character in the party, this should have been a very difficult encounter.
I'm curious if encounter 1 and 2 happened at the same time. They did both times for me, which should have made the encounter very difficult.
I've only run this at high tier so far, and both times I've had PC deaths (a rarity for me).

I wish I had a good answer for you, but I've not yet run the adventure in its final form. I knew when I was designing it that there were a number of places where things could get swingy depending on the group and their decisions. Most of the combat encounters are against single opponents, which almost always gives the advantage to the PCs, but there are a few points where a couple of bad saves could end poorly for the group. I like the idea that different groups can have different experiences with this adventure.
Something I want to know is...

Here is how the mod played out
The second combat was the ghost alone she was tough but not impossible for the party.
***We I played the mod we all failed our sense motive checks and had the first and second encounters merged which is a much tougher fight***
The third encounter with the possessed Pathfinder Venture Captain was over before it started one of the clerics beat him on initiative and cast Protection from Evil the captain failed the save and the possession was suppressed long enough for them to get the sword away and tie him up.
It looks like I will be running this again on Wednesday
