Actually, the way I read the Monster Manual, we do have a BIG, BIG problem with this friggin hydra! The heads can only absorb so much damage, and any excess is wasted. Like what Radoon just did. We need to be doing damage to the BODY of the creature. Plus, the way I read the entry, EVERY hydra is now a lernaean hydra, and sprouts two new heads for every one that is severed. I don't remember anything that the barghests had, sorry.As freaked out as our characters are, they only have to survive about 3 rounds with the hydra at the current damage they are doing, if I read the SRD correctly. Now how do they survive for those 3 rounds?
Thinking back, did the party ever gain the treasure from the Barghests that Gnurl searched? Scotley mentioned that he would post it http://www.enworld.org/forum/talking-talk/123249-island-empire-ooc-closed-12.html#post4400940 back in July. Perhaps something in that treasure would aid in the fight against the hydra?![]()
