I think this was the final version.
Crosod is optimized for stealth and swift, devastating attacks, using haste, expeditious retreat and his quickened spell-like abilities. His maximum double-move – 1200 feet per round when flying – translates to around 140 mph.
When encountered first by Shomei he was hugely buffed – immune to sonics, death warded, invisible and under the protection of mage armour and an unholy aura. His Charisma was 34 – pumping up his Save DCs – and his Constitution was 35 – granting him another +4 on Fort saves and an additional 136 hp. His arcane sight, and detect thoughts were also running and he was surrounded by a zone of revelation.
His ‘official’ CR is 22 – which feels a tad on the low side. The DC 31 save against his destruction was the one which Zhorion failed – the Solar rolled low. Crosod’s high caster level for his spell-like abilities means that he simply ignores SR 35 or less.

Who plays Shomei, anyway?
And who shall we do next? Do we have a description of Lady Despina/Nehael anywhere?
