Tactics
Before Combat He always casts the following spells every day (the effects of which are noted in his stat block): endure elements, mage armor, mage’s magnificent mansion, overland flight, and protection from arrows. If he anticipates combat, he casts lesser globe of invulnerability, true seeing, mirror image, protection from energy (usually against fire), and expeditious retreat (in that order). If the opportunity presents, he casts invisibility on himself and haste on himself and his cultist minions.
During Combat He likes to lead off by targeting an enemy spellcaster with disintegrate, and uses dispel magic or greater dispel magic to counter enemy spellcasting (relying on his ring of counterspells to protect him against similar tactics). He uses baleful polymorph against dangerous foes, dismissal against conjured creatures, and fireball on weak groups.
Morale He does not see the percentage in valor. Where the odds of victory are poor, he flies or teleports away, using cultists or black tentacles as cover. Once back at the home, he uses nightmare the next night to weaken his opponents for their next meeting, and observes them using scrying to learn their weaknesses and strengths, using nondetection to prevent them from doing the same to him.
