It seems like everything that did in the party has been errata'd. Which begs the question, why did WotC release this? These products have soured my group's impressions of 4E for more than two years.  The kruthik encounter was one that I created in a dungeon of my own design for a group that did not play KotS. I think I used the stats from DDI when I ran the adventure (back in Oct. 09), so if those were updated at that time, I was using the updated stats.  I guess I'll have to see if Essentials proves a successful reboot of 4E. With so much houseruling and modficiation necessary to run a successful game (even if the houserules come from WotC), I don't know if it will be the system for me. (Really, I have to change the damage of all the monsters from the Monster Manual? I've already scribbled new DCs throughout my PHB because that was done inaccurately.) So what changes do I need to make to the core 4E to make it a viable game that plays as intended?Retreater</blockquote>
