TACTICS

Before Combat He starts every day by casting extended false life, mage armor, and unseen servant. In the event that he hears combat nearby, he takes the time to cast the following spells before investigating: shield, stoneskin, fly, protection from energy (electricity), cat’s grace, and expeditious retreat. These effects are included in his stats above.

During Combat If caught off-guard, he dimension doors to safety, casts his short-term defensive spells as outlined above, then returns to confront the PCs. He always opens with a disintegrate against any obvious clerics, along with a quickened mirror image. He also uses his unseen servants to pick up and carry away items that PCs drop or lose to his telekinetic disarming attempts.

Morale He fights until reduced to 20 hit points or less, whereupon he dimension doors to area G8. If confronted there, he fights to the death.

Base Stats Without his protective spells in effect, his stats change as follows:
Init +1; AC 19, touch 11, flat-footed 18; hp 104; Ref +7; Spd 30 ft.; Dex 12
