That sounds strange. Are you sure you killed him (getting the ring of inv, rod of terror etc) rather than having him shadow door back?

I have never had a problem with the lich. ....

***SPOILERS****

What I do is have a hasted Thief/Mu go in armed with a knock spell into the small room. I *IMMEDIATELY* knock the chest (ignoring the lich....you may want to turn off your AI). She then grabs the daystar from the chest, and runs out into the main room.

If you do it right, you can identify the daystar and equip it on one of your fighters (Minsc is a good choice), long before the lich comes calling. After that, the moment the lich appears, I usually NUKE him (using the sunburst) and will kill him almost half the time right there. Otherwise, he is near death and pretty easy to bludgen into submission.

Once you have equipped the identified Daystar on a character (in one of the weapon slots...you do not have to be actually weilding it), the 'pouch' icon should be bright silver. If you click on the 'pouch' icon, you will see a starburst with a '1' under it. That means you have an item (the Daystar) that can cast sunburst once per day. Click on the icon, and you are done. What is even better is that THIS CAN NOT BE INTERRUPTED!

yeh just run in and grab it, using pause, unpause etc. and a haste spell helps, and invisibility too. I never even killed the lich, just grabbed it and took off.

Hmmm - I posted about this a couple pages back, so it seems like it is a genuine bug... My problem was going back and forth and ending up with about 10 liches... even my friend and my maxed out characters couldn't cope

The way to get round it is simply to take the lich out in the crypt room, DON'T go back out into the inn. The strategies listed above or in the strategy guide section should work fine... hope that helps!

If you are goignt o reroll I would suggest leaving int and wisdom to the lowest posssible (I think it's 3). Int and wis have no effect on thieves or kensais so I would suggest to max out str, dex and con and put the rest on int and wis.

This is a known bug with ToB installed. If mobs follow you to another room, they respawn in their original place. Hopefully they'll fix it in the "real" (read "NOT BETA") patch. Strangely enough, I can't get mobs to follow me at all with ToB installed, but have read multiple threads on this and the blackisle boards re: this issue.

The only solution that I know of at the present time is not to run away. If you can't kill the lich, use protection from undead or sanctuary to steal the daystar as suggested and leave the lich alone.
