My PCs were destroying most of the encounters in the module (mostly due to Radiant weapons and Necrotic resistance) right up until they faced the Dracolich. This is the FIRST encounter that my PCs have actually run away from since we started playing 4e, and the only encounter the PCs have ever run away from in a published adventure. The Dracolich is horrible. It's stuns way too often and way too easily; I think it only needed to roll a 4 to hit most of the PCs with the stun power. It's also really hard to hit; my PCs needed to roll 17s or 18s to hit the stupid thing. Now, I don't think that the problem is the Dracolich is poorly designed; I think the problem is that it is miss-leveled. In other words, it's more like a level 23-24 solo than a level 21. (That's how it seems anyway. I know there is a big power jump for PCs from level 20 to 21,  so maybe the problem is that the PCs are only level 19? Maybe the Dracolich wouldn't seem miss-leveled to a party of level 21 PCs?)</blockquote>
