@ ML- Thanks for the right up I'll be able to give it the once over now that I am off the next two days.

@ Sphyh- I still have the class linked in a PM will do that as well. And have fun at the olympics, and stay warm. We will all be fighting a hydra so you won't miss much.

@ everyone else: remember you get xp for surviving not killing monsters. and a 5 headed hydra is only EL4 I think the gnoll encounter was EL6 or better not sure due to the adept class.

Just being helpful here... Generally, NPC classes are level-1=CR for anything without racial HD. On anything with HD, the CR could be counted the same, if it's not doing too much for their own abilities. If it does give a good boost (and at low levels especially), +1 CR per level is more likely.

And as to the hydra being less tough than the gnolls... I have to disagree. The gnolls were numerous but weak. This hydra has 5 attacks, reach, a lot of HP and fast healing, plus a few of us are still recovering from poison. This thing will likely destroy anyone who stays and fights. The benefit is that we are faster, so running is a very good idea. Hence Jareth taking off.

Unless we could all stab it to death in 1 round, I think it'd quickly overtake us due to fast healing and limited attack options at this level. Which is why running is an awesome idea.

I think everyone posted that they are running and I will be posting a chase scene before bed.... but wait what is this? "the hill starts to slope down and to bend towards the creekbed. Ahead you see an arched stone bridge that crosses the creek but by it's height you are sure it will not keep you out of the gaining hydra's reach."

Still working on it but you get the ideal there is the forest.

Bad HM! You want us all to get eaten don't you Humph, well if you want to meta game, a Banshee is CR17 in the MM2. Guess who was feeling benevolent? Anyway, I feel like providing a picture of an Epic Hydra. And so here it is.

Haven't played MTG since '04 so that must be a new card, love the art work maybe if this hydra gets away he will 'grow up'.

CR17???? - glad we were just in roleplaying mode in VotD or someone could have got hurt

actually you did more damage to Kye by proving to him he isn't godlike but still a man there will be no living with him now.

You can play magic: the gathering online via some software or something of Wizards. I looked into it enough to decide I couldn't afford such a thing when I prefer the real cards. See, the online thing, you have to pay real money for virtual cards. If at any point you decide you want the physical copies of the cards, Wizards can mail them to you, but at that point they are removed from your online roster.

And yes, Holyman, Progenitus is only a year or two old at this point.

Would anyone have any problems with luring the Hydra into the woods and lighting the forest on fire?

I think that might work, At least it might stall the damned thing for a bit
