Loot, Traps, Shadows, Loot, Loot, Kidnapping?

General Summary

"Sounds like a demon... definitely a demon"
— Krumbleton referring to the snake

Krumbleton took command of the ship, commanding they take off and gain some distance from the ground after Wyldo claimed to have spotted scales in the darkness. He sailed in the direction that the party had gone, quickly finding the tower. Unfortunately, the snake seemed to be slithering around it.
Fernando expressed concern for the party. Krumbleton assured the skeleton that they always come back alive but Zed didn't come back. Fernando was wearing a coat with some patches and pockets and a fancy collar.
Wyldo took a nap.
Fernando gave Krumbleton the ability to fly.

"You're a bird; you can always fly!"
— Krumbleton to Crunch, the kenku who, like most kenkus, cannot fly.

After some brief shenanigans caused partially by Fernando's lack of magical aptitude, and partially by Krumbleton feeling bad for Crunch who could not fly, Krumbleton flew down to the tower, carrying Fernando for support.
Farren opened the back door and let them in. The enormous snake tried to grab them but was too slow.
Meanwhile, Alton opened the door in the back of the room with the beds. He was nearly sliced in half by an axe that swung towards the trapped door.
The party came to investigate. Rust joined Alton in order to loot the room. Alton lit the chandelier to point out pressure plate to Rust and keep him safe.

Downstairs, Farren had a bad feeling. He did not detect anything out of the ordinary with his divine sense, although there was a small bit of hallowed ground by the front doorway.
Farren, Krumbleton, Harold and Fernando ran upstairs to make sure Rust and Alton were ok.
Alton noticed Rust's shadow seemed to split and move independently. He immediately moved to darken the chandelier he had lit. This angered the shadow creatures who attacked.
The shadows behind Krumbleton, Farren, Harold and Fernando managed to attack once before vanishing in the darkness.
Rust was pushed to the ground but stood back up and closed his lantern. Another shadow got off one additional attack on Alton before vanishing.
The final shadow continued to exist with reddish purple glowing eyes until defeated.
Fernando almost got the kill but it remained standing until Farren sliced it in half. Fernando was disappointed in himself.

Rust picked up everything that was not nailed down.
There were many weapon racks, though they were mostly empty.
One of the chests was trapped.
Rust gave Fernando a sweater he found in one of the chests. Fernando loved it, but said that he did not deserve it.

"Oh. Then you must put in on the wall until you deserve to wear it."
— Rust to Fernando

Farren asked Krumbleton to cast greater restoration on Sen, in the hopes this might wake him up but Krumbleton did not have the spell prepared.
Alton wandered off on his own again, and found a room with a broken circle with three ballistae pointing towards it, several shelves and tables with various powders and potions, and a large shallow bowl with arcane runes along the edges and nothing inside it.
Rust suggested they put traitor I mean Sentinel in the box of holding from the looted room. As they were doing this, the main door opened slightly and shut. The party, except Alton, heard a metallic clank-clank-clank. A small dog-like metallic construct entered the room. It had one of it's front paws in the air. It yipped three times, and then, in common, asked "what are you doing to Sen?"
