OK,
I'm running the RHoD. We started at 1st level and the party is now 5th level (one 4th level). In another thread I've been asking about hydras in general. But what I'd like to know is how your party (as player or DM) handled the hydra in part 1.
It seems to me that this is a crazy hard fight. 6 attacks at +8 d10+3 is nasty. If the hydra manages to close on the bridge OR the party goes down to the ruined wagon I don't see how they stay out of hand-to-hand. And once the hydra closes to being next to you, you can't escape without eating 6 attacks. I don't think 5th (6th) level characters can really deal with this.
So I want to know what others have done with this encounter....
