Clever move on your party's part (Perception 14 means the tactic isn't exactly a given without the right spells) but he doesn't seem that anti-climactic to me. Only 9 HP but Unkillable and DR 5, Hard to Subdue 6, MR 6 means he'll be around for awhile. HPT means he won't care about shock so he'll be a reasonable threat for the duration. Looks to me like he should last more than a couple of turns.
