Actually StigTC = Druid.

I killed him in 3 rounds.
1st round = Cast harm, misses. Old Red tries some fancy smancy, but otherwise useless magic
2nd round = Cast harm, hit, Old Red looses an insane amount of hit points. Old red does the same as in the 1st round
3rd round = Cast ice storm, Old Red takes about 20 hit points damage or so. Old Red drops to the ground and doesn't really do anything else.

My guess is that Old Red doesn't have as much spell resistance as you thought, since both harm and ice storm are affected by spell resistance.

The toughest thing about the battle was all the elder fire elementals, that damn near killed me more than once. Guess that just shows that buffing up during battle will get you killed, you really should do that before the first blow is dealt.

Power word kill will not work as Old Red has more than 100 HP, quite alot more actually.
