I did it

I finally beat that no-good lich!

I think it was more luck than judgement really, but here goes:

My party entered and started attacking. Got Kangaxx down to 'near death' and then had one of my mages cast 'Limited Wish'.

I chose to polymorph into other (incidentally this was the first time I had ever got a Limited Wish to work for me, and not against me!. My mage polymorphed into a Mind Flayer. Two seconds later the Lich was dead.

Now it's onto the Twisted Rune!

** Thanks for all your input guys. It's all be of great value **

The Mustard Jelly

The only useful one, IMO. And maybe the Wolf (so you can hightail it out of there if the Lich summons something that will kill your Jelly @$$. The Jelly is totally magic resistant and will soak up all of the Lich's spells, except for the summons (just wait for the protective spells to wear out). Don't try to melee (even) Liches when polymorphed into bear/Gnoll/whatever; it'll paralyze and kill you.

The Iron Golem from Shapechange is about the same idea, except that it easily clobbers the summons as well.

Strange, but while polymorphed into a mustard jelly I did get killed by Howl. Dunno if that was a bug or what, but it was most annoying and I haven't tried it since.

Just like to take a minute to tell everyone how much I enjoy the boards here. The members are always willing to help and the technical knowledge of some of the regular posters is quite impressive. I've found a lot of useful information, links a patches just by "lurking" on these boards (which I did quite a bit of before I got up the nerve to post anything myself)
