Lich in Crooked Cane

Have you guys tried walking out on the Lich in Crooked Cane in the city gates district? He was beating all over me when I decided to get the hell out. Not only he did he follow me into the tavern and start killing off the barmaids and drunkards, but his pit fiend followed me out into the city and started killing off all of the kids, merchants and guards standing around. He'd killed everyone on the map before except for one guard before I finally managed to stick a sword in him. Then that one guard went hostel and tried to stick me.

I cast Knock in the city limits and the cowled wizards are all over me. A lich gates in demons and starts pelting the cities lower classes with meteor showers and he's ignored. Go figure.

He's the tavern bouncer. You can't mess with tavern bouncers. See, my hero got drunk in that one bar, and then he wasn't allowed to drink anymore, so then he went on this there rampage in the Council, and then he went on a rampage in the sewers, then he disappeared and a guy from The Sims washed his hands. Then he returned and undid all he had done, and talked to the lich, then he was killed.
Then he suddenly lived again and killed the lich.

Talk about role-playing.

Doesn't a lich have better things to do than sit around on a sarcophagus in a cramped room waiting for some hapless adventure to come by so it can unload all the spells it learned a century ago. I mean they are super intelligent beings after all (former arch mages who wanted to live forever right?). They could be going around raising undead armies, or pursuing more knowledge or power. Hell, they could be watching porn. Why did they want to become immortal in the first place?

The only thing a lich wants to do is study magic.

Some niche in the wall of the Crooked Crane must apparently be exactly the right place to do so.

Heh and the best place to study magic in peace is place that are away from where most normal people won't venture in.
