I'm currently running a Witcher based fantasy campaign with novice players and one of the challenges was to introduce them to the different Gurps combat system and flow. Many come from Pathfinder where the combat is just rolling damage dices until your opponent drop dead.
I planned three different combat encounters to teach them the basics:
- A group of bandits (for movement, basic actions... and also to show them that most enemies will flee given the chance ;)
- A pack of wolves (for environmental combat, all out attacks and close combat options)
- And the next fight will be against 3 wights to introduce them to injury tolerance and targeted attacks (since their are frail the best strategy is to amputate them)
Honestly an Hydra seems a really complex monster to handle: multiple heads, attacks, regeneration, superior size and reach so i would not start from there but everything depends on your party experience.
