Good stuff, this was actually a side quest in my main campaign and was designed with my PCs in mind. If you plan to run it I have the following advice:

1: Double check that the Hydra isn't too strong, it should be alright but it depends on the size and composition of your party.

2: Give plenty of thought to the final encounter with teh Flesh Prince, when I ran it he was pretty much locked down so wasn't as dangerous as I had hoped. You might consider planning some reinforcements for him that could come come through the portal to the shadowfell at a dramatic moment if necessary.

Thanks, any feedback (positive or negative) is always helpful.

Thanks for the tips. I've got a party of 5 (Dragonborn Fighter, Human Warlord (with throwing shield named "Steve"), a Human Rogue, an Eladrin Wizard and a Dwarf Cleric). The Fighter does a pretty good job of locking foes in place, so I may want to bring in some additional backup to help the Flesh Prince.

As for the Hydra... I think I'll change the Withering Blast to ongoing 10 necrotic instead of the lose a healing surge every round thing. Last encounter I ran where the players lost a healing surge from a creature's attacks was almost the end of the adventuring day.
