IIRC, 1 HitDice = 1d8

Ergo, an Umber Hulk can have 16-72 Hp( 72 Hp sounds about right for the game's Umber Hulks), and should be immuned to Cloudkill's instant-kill effects. Why the Game Developers made them vulnerable to Cloudkill, I do not know.

ADD] Just asked. For an Umber Hulk, they use d8 for their HitDice, so their HP ranges from 16-72 in PnP. I presume the game always uses the highest value, so 72 it is.
