The encounter is up. It does not bode well at this moment. I rolled way too well for the hydra (20 then 19 to confirm on one attack, and 20 on initiative).

Is the hydra's body a viable target at this point? That is, does the water give it cover, or is it completely submerged, with no line of effect?

The body is completely submerged, giving it total concealment and cover against ranged attacks, but I'd say you can still potentially hit it in the water (+4 cover bonus to AC and 50% miss chance sounds right to me, but if there's more specific rules that I'm not seeing feel free to point them out).

That works out fine for me. Since the heads can't really be targeted by Eldritch Blast, Tyrla wants _something_ to shoot at, and some chance is better than none...
I take it the creature is free to attack via melee? Does it get cover from the water for that as well?

Edit: Also, just to check I understand this - the hydra and Warren act on the surprise round, and then normal initiative begins. Looking at that, it assumed Tyrla is the only one going before the hydra goes again in initiative? Any chance we can get an update on Warren's status after the hydra's action.

Certainly.
Creamsteak, I've had a busy day and won't get a chance to post until tomorrow. If you need to, Avril will summon 1d3 crocodiles (with Augment Summoning) to harass the hydra. She'll use her action to move towards Warren but staying well away from the water for now. She'll also suggest the rest of us flee across the bridge. We don't have to fight the hydra if we don't need to.
Otherwise, I'll post this in about 12 hours time if you don't update before then.
