Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber

I really like the story of this adventure, but the characters felt very under powered for lvl 4 characters.

Movie plot spoiler:
Without +1 striking weapons on the martial characters the boss is pretty much a TPK waiting to happen, especially with inexperienced players. The boss essentially does 4d6+5 dmg from range and even greater once he "enrages" when he still has approximately half HP left. My party did not find the only +1 striking weapon in the adventure so the rogue would hardly do any dmg even with sneak attacks after the resistance to physical, the ranger would do well if twin takedown would hit both attacks. The true strike + Cruel Shot pretty much guaranteed a crit from the boss which was 4d6+6 X 2 + 1d10 from up to 60 feet away. In 3 turns, I had 3 characters taken from 3/4 HP to dying from his critical which I think were a roll of 15 or higher. I believe the encounter would still be challenging if the ranger and rogue had +1 striking weapons, which is lvl appropriate for these characters.
