Well, I think Remuthra just proved that.

Yep. You haven't even met the Sil-Merrion yet :D.
I'm just gonna assume they went all wizards/clerics.

I get the feeling you weren't as overpowered as I originally thought...

Maybe I shouldn't have set the average encounter to somewhere around CR 9?
...
No, you shouldn't have. Why would you do that?

I shall role up another character. That was a joke, I don't expect you to apply Paranoia rules here. There was something in the Paranoia XP SP1 about what if Popular Fantasy Roleplaying Game™ were like Paranoia.
Which reminds me, what happened to that Paranoia game Remuthra was going to run?

...HOW IS THIS CR9?!
The normal one is CR 6. I scaled it up using a program, which said that 13d8 is CR 8. Thus, 15d8 is CR 9 or so.
...
How many HD normally (guessing 7?) and what type is it?

Still likely forgotten in the calculation at any rate :P
If he just added HD, by the rules the save-or-die ability doesn't change the CR modification.
On the other hand, he shouldn't have sent us against a version with twice the hit points plus higher attack bonuses and stuff...

I thought you were all crazy overpowered and had seven people. That brings your effective party level up to around nine.

If we were crazy overpowered, I would have something other than a fucking dagger. :P And I'd have a Glamored Mithril Chain Shirt +1 instead of Leather +3.

Even a REALLY NICE magical dagger of magicalness does maximum of 1d4+10 for me. Which is 11-15. I honestly should die horribly so I can retool his equipment, but the whole 'everyone has a clone waiting in the wings' thing sort of seems lazy to me.

Or we could skip the part where I die and just retroactively assume I picked different things. :P Since that would be the end result anyways, minus the obligatory name change and forced entrance into the party as some relative of Seldain's out to REVENGEANCE his death.

I thought you were all crazy overpowered and had seven people. That brings your effective party level up to around nine.
1. Even if we had eight, that would only be double, putting us around 8.
2. Me? Overpowered? My druids get beaten up by typical monks.
3. One powerful enemy is not a good solution for a large party. I'd cite a WotC article on the subject, but I can't find it. Basically, the problem is that it swiftly becomes difficult for anyone to survive or hit it, let along kill it without being killed. A better solution is--perhaps unsurprisingly--to provide more enemies. Sending two of these smoke things instead of one advanced one would be better. (Or three, if you really wanted EL 9.)

Ah. Well, um...hate to say it, but elementals get +1 CR per 4 HD. So, unless, it increased in size (+1 CR), it would need a total of 19 HD to be CR 9. If it increased in size, then you need another 8, which takes it to...it increased size, didn't it?

All I can say is that I'm suddenly very, very glad our half of the game seems to have stalled.  Ye gods, but this thing is really, really nasty.
