Assuming we cap Blasphemy at Caster Level 20, so that he only auto-kills level 10 things, his strategy will probably be to charge a dangerous-looking foe while using large amounts of Combat Expertise to keep himself alive and attempt to swallow. Then he will either keep up his Combat Expertise or Power-Attack 30ish Whilrwind Attack, which probably hits all the adventurers thanks to 15-ft reach (and thanks to Combat Brute, this attack will deal about 137 damage), also attempting to swallow all of them. Another possibility is to Spring Attack and resort on his Reach to produce Attacks of Opportunity:  VildaxaranthusGargantuan OutsiderHit Dice: 50d8+600 (825 hp)Initiative: +8Speed: 40 ft.

Additionally, any living creature that is not an outsider within the radius who does not serve Vildaxaranthus must succeed at a DC 37 Will Save. On a failure, creatures with 4 or less Hit Dice become panicked for as long as they remain with the radius and for 4d6 rounds thereafter, and those with 5 Hit Dice or more become shaken for as long as they remain within the radius and for 4d6 rounds thereafter. A successful save renders a creature immune to the Fear portion of Vildaxaranthus's Aura of Tyranny for 24 hours, but the creature still loses any Freedom of Movement effect it may have, regardless of the save.
