I usually get tired of my games before I get to Balthazar (ToB has that effect), but from what I recall, his immunity to Time Stop is not permanent: Among his unique abilities (like "Faster Than the Eye!") is one that grants him temporary immunity to TS. I don't think this is Focus, however--that sounds like some cheese added by a mod, couldn't tell you which.

I've also never played Ascension, but whom what I can tell, it's all about cheese. So anything's fair--if you need to kill Balthazar with a stack of Traps, do it. But you still TS him if you trap him behind a wall of Summons first, or you can just pound the snot out of him with your Warriors before you cast your TS.

People could provide more help if you told us about your party.

IIRC, the command to fast-forward party banters is Ctrl-I.
