Toughness
Combat Casting
Improved Initiative
spell focus

Which spell focus? Might give you a slight edge.

My first ever sorcerer had improved initiative and combat casting. Brings back fond memories. However, your feats are somewhat sub-optimal even if (as it appears) you are only using the Players Handbook. Still, not to worry.

Do you have a familiar? A weasel would improve your reflex saves but, if you're like me, you'll have a cat because they are cooler.

Assuming you are not able to change your spells, but can get some scrolls etc. I'd go for a scroll of alter self, a scroll of mirror image and a scroll of dispel magic (finances permitting).

Alter self into a troglodyte before the fight. Dunno whether alter self gives the stench ability or not - the DM could rule either way. A really evil DM might decide that you are affected by your own stench, so if you think your DM is that way inclined ask for a ruling before you cast the spell.

If you don't like his answer, alter self into a lizardfolk instead.

If you are sure the fight is about to start, cast mirror image and fly. You need to be off the ground throughout the fight, as Entangle is bad news. (Alternatively, try and fight in a desert )

Its a matter of judgement as to when you use the dispel magic.

I'd use it in the first round, on the assumption the druid arrives already buffed to the max. If you had detect magic, and a couple of free rounds, you could study his aura and find out for sure. However, whilst a detect magic scroll is easy to obtain, the time to concentrate is probably going to be priceless.

Fly.

Pray he doesn't have fire resistance.

Scorching Ray him until the cows come home.

Lament not having Dispel Magic.

Pray he doesn't have Dispel Magic.

Don't bother casting Tasha's, as a wis-caster his will save will be very good.

You're toast. Surrender. The druid will pwn you.

I refuse to help you cheat

Doesn't your DM have a hard enough time using NPCs to fight 4 or so minds at the table working against him? Making him fight against another 1000 minds from Enworld is sorta unfair

Does he know that your PC is casting the spell, "Summon Enworld Tacticians"?

Cheat.
Is this a duel? An ambush? Is he just the BBEG?
Spend the gold to hire a few fighter and/or rogue henchmen to ambush the druid, and lay a beatdown.
Take a family member hostage and demand that he surrender or they will suffer.
Hire an assassin to poison his breakfast before you fight.
Use scorched earth tactics and burn his forest down around you while you fight. Distract him pre-fight by killing large numbers of animals or cutting a large swatch of treest down. Get him to waste spells restoring the natural balance.

In other words - roleplay it out.

Love it!!!

You dont mention what magical items are available nor how the evil-druid-you came about...if he's aware that your innate arsenal is mostly fire-based, he'll be prepared to counter it.

Ideally pick a dry area of the forest full of kindling for your ambush. Buff with whatever scrolls you can before the battle starts, including 1+ unseen servants. Lead off with Fly for some height, dropping several flasks of alchemist fire to ignite the forest around him -- not only should it burn away anything useable for his entangle/animation spells, but give him something besides you to worry about.

His presumed fire-resistance means the fire/heat wont be an issue ... however dodging falling debris, smoke/flames should force him to contend with continual concentration checks for the duration ... and the smoke/flames would give you both at least partial cover (IRC 25% chance for ranged attacks to miss?) -- not that you care since you primary spells dont need precise aim, being magic missle (auto-hit) and fireball (area of effect). Secondly the forest fire might imped his summoning spells since most of the local animals are fleeing for safety, reducing whats available.

Recall the unseen servant(s)? - no direct offensive use per-se, but could be used to force concentration checks, harassing him by guiding falling debris directly over his head, doing rope-trips, etc while he's busy concentrating on his spells and your actions.

Recall the unseen servant(s)? While they cant attack directly, can be instructed to harass the druid endlessly for their 1-hour duration. For example, "lift the druid's right boot" isnt an attack but would be rather distrubing, forcing him to make a concentration check to remain standing let alone cast spells, aim attacks, etc. same for "push falling limbs towards the druid" They can also be used to activate traps if there is time to setup your chosen kill zone, serving to not only make life on the ground even more interesting but also serve to further confuse him asto just how many allies accompanied you into "his" ambush.

items:
- ring of feather falling for when the Fly expires
- wand of lighting bolts since he's fire-resistant
- scroll: Darkness --- trip him with the unseen servant and while prone/distracted, rush in and cast Darkness on his robe/etc if possible. Sure, you open for a grapple if he recovers first but if successful makes it far more difficult for him to leave the spell's radius impeding his ability to see both you and the surrounding flames while giving you the perfect target to aim your fireballs/etc at.

There's plenty Im overlooking, but at least you have the general idea off the top of my head
have fun and let us know how it plays out.
