Strategy: As soon as he’s attacked, Terristigulth’s contingency will be triggered. He’ll try to keep himself at a distance and fire off his powerful spells, trying out such lovelies as prismatic spray, puncture, cone of cold and dread blast. If he gets hit in the first round, he’ll teleport to gain some distance to try to buff up with mirror image and shield. He’ll try to slow the group within a couple of rounds and try to dismiss the toughest-seeming fighter-type. With his resistances and SR, he’s likely to be much less worried by spellcasters.
