I can't find the stats for Mhad (Chapter 8) anywhere in the book. Where are they?

Respectable Hobbit,
I looked in Dungeon 111 which contained the Lords of Oblivion and Mhad is listed as follows:
Mhad, female half-elf vampire Mnk9/Sha4: hp90; Monster Manual 251.
I verified the page in the Monster Manual and the example of an elite vampire fits Mhad's entry in the module.
Good gaming,
Mark
Hehe...yeah...poor Mhad! When we encountered here, we had a min/maxed cleric/radiant servant of pelor...whos focus was healing and turning undead. Round 1, he turns undead; max HD turnable...24. POOF! All the spectres and Mhad disrupt into a fine dust. :) (he had some extra greater true turning feat things, and having Pelor as a deity let his 'turning' undead turn into 'destroy' undead). Funny as hell, really.
The same thing happened vs. Drakthar in my campaign. Gives me something to look out for a few adventures down the road, I guess...
You could always have Kyron cast Divine Interdiction on her.
I won't in my game though. Vampires are chumps.
Drakthar proved a real challenge for my party when they entered his lair many moons a go. I had him ambush the party, hit them hard and then flee in gaseous form approximately 5 times before they eventual killed him and found his lair to complete the job.
I'm a big fan of Mhad. I enjoy the imagery of her and the wraith cloak she wears. I would like to foreshadow her more before the actual encounter during Lords of Oblivion.
I'm toying with the idea of having the party undertake a side trek to retrieve the Earth Weird and then travel to the Haunted Village to retrieve an ancient kopru liches skull from beneath the lake. Perhaps I can have Mhad make an appearance her.
If I set the mission to the Haunted Village after Lords of Oblivion then I may attempt to ensure that Mhad escapes the encounter so that I can use her in this side trek. I'll have to think more about it.
The Necrotaunts (sp?) would also colour this side trek as well.
In any event I have always enjoyed vampires if they are used sparingly and as main villians rather than simple encounters. Mhad could prove a great recurring villian or, depending on the circumstances, a valuable alley...
