5e Stat Block
Okay, so Ambrosine was originally created as a boss NPC. For the sake of reference, I'm posting her NPC stat block here, and good god, it's ridiculous.
Keep in mind that what spells she has prepared can change according to the situation, and she has a whole bunch of magic items that she technically has access to, but aren't here. But this should suffice as a vanilla stat block.
Medium undead, lawful neutral
Armor Class 19 (natural armor, robe of the archmagi, ring of protection)
Hit Points 135 (18d8 + 54)
Speed 30 ft.
