HOF is for people who want long fights. The gobbies in the Prologue are about 100+ hitpoints, and their to-hit is so high you can expect to take damage all the time (archers, for instance, start at +31 to hit, and they have multiple attacks). Orcs are somewhere around 250.
Critters also have better saves against spells. You know you're in trouble when Orcs who fail their saving throws are still standing after 2 Horrid Wiltings.
If you plan to try HOF, definitely import high-level characters, and bring all the spare equipment you can to sell so you can purchase some items from Deirdre.
For instance, there's Golden Heart of [CHARNAME], longsword 1d8+5, +25 hitpoints, haste and free action while equipped. She also has more potent versions of other named items from normal play. All of them are in the 5-6 digit price category.
