When we had seven players we steamrolled through ‘Seek the Keep’. However, on all subsequent missions, when we had 4-5 players, it always seemed like it took us at least four rounds to defeat our enemies.Compared to your group of players the group I played with sounds completely inept. More than half the time it seemed like my group would fail our attack rolls against kobolds and cultists. My core party consists of a gnome that rolls well but seems to attack with puny  d4 or d6 damage weapon, a fighter that who multi-classed into a wizard at level 2 (so I’m not sure how good of a fighter the character is), and me who always forgot to make use of my fighter’s ‘Great Weapon Fighting’ style. For one session we had a druid that used all of his spells on ‘Seek the Keep’, a ranger for two sessions who rolled terribly (probably failed 70% of his rolls – seemed like his d20 was cursed), and a cleric for two sessions that quickly used up his healing spells and consistently failed at hitting with sacred flame.If you have a bunch of players wearing medium or heavy armor with disadvantage, this doesn’t work out so well. With two fighters in the group you could easily fail the sneak check.</blockquote>
