In the description of Malfeshnekor and his area, it's mentioned that he's held in place by a Planar Binding, yet in his Tactics section it mentions that he uses Blink as a pre-combat buff.
These are, as I understand it, incompatible.
Planar Binding does not prevent an outsider from leaving the Binding zone by dimensional travel (and Malfeshnekor has both Blink and Dimension Door available as escape methods) unless it is cast in conjunction with Dimensional Anchor - in which case Malfeshnekor wouldn't be able to use Blink in combat.
So, which is it - can he Blink (in which case he wouldn't still be imprisoned), or is he Anchored? At the moment I'm ruling that he's Anchored, and thus signifigantly easier to kill. I'd like to be sure I havn't missed anything, however.

Binding is a handily vague spell in some regards; the hedged prison variant that was used to trap Malfeshnekor keeps him pretty much in the room itself. He's not dimensionally anchored, and thus can use blink, but can't use blink to escape his prison any more than he can just walk out.

Aha, that's what I was missing: The spell cast was *Binding*, not *Planar Binding*. Thanks, confusion erased!
