Nether Scroll Lich Help Options

[Jon Irenicus]

Hello everyone

Well, currently my evil sorceress protagonist is romancing edwin and so far i hadn't problems with the improved battles i had, but now on edwin's nether scroll quest i kinda run into a big problem because the lich guarding it is also improved and no one in my party has spells higher than lv 5 wich means i can't even cast protection from energy or attempt to disrupt him, and i can't go do other quests first because i want to continue the romance and edwin also says he will leave if i dont get this nether scroll arghhh...I wanted some opinions or ideas or even a reality check on me ( like saying YOUR SCREWED DUDE) from others players of improved anvil.My (nearly)evil squad is:

Protagonist - Evil sorceress - lv 11
Edwin - Wild Mage - lv 11
Korgan - Fighter/Assassin - lv 8/10
Minsc - Kensai - lv 9
Willie Bruce Mod Npc - Berserker - lv 9
Anomen - Cleric - lv 10

Well most of time i just end up getting owned but there was this 1 time, my sorceress and edwin's SI and my high hp tanks, Anomen buffs to fire res, using edwin's lv 1 spell: reckless dweomer or whatever to try cast PfME on my warriors, and some running around the tombs so that only 1 char would be affected by the area spell or retreating to heal with potions of heal, i managed to nullify / reduce or even taking on chin some of lich's spells without casualties like dragon's breath, horrid's ,3 chain light in a sequencer -.-, though after i started to be able to finally hit the lich and stop some of the spells the guy reaches injured status and while i am already thinking i was going to finally win this and make him bite the dust, all my team eats a chain contigency of 3 horrid wiltings and BAMB all dead, from win to total defeat lol.So any suggestions or hopeless comments are welcome.

Thank you for the welcome.

About the fighter/mage type ,i was thinking of replacing one my characters and dualing sarevok in this way but ToB is still too far away , meehh


Well, i tried making my sorceress invulnerable to every freaking element and magic damage and with SI:abjuration so that the lich would waste all his arsenal on me.First he tried to remove SI with ruby ray, but no prob, given the casting time of the spell and the distance till it hit me i could renew SI about 1 second after it goes off, the lich casted it again and repeated this proces about 3 times.After that he starts casting a longer alteration spell, which i guessed would be timestop and indeed it was.And here i was happy thinking that that creep was going to to waste his horrid's , chain's lightings , dragon's breath , fingers of death, etc on me, but wow, he totaly tricked me, he didnt cast anything at all, he just went up to me and bitch slapped my sorceress ...that's right the guy went mellee on me, which means neither of us could do anything to each other other than play rock paper and scissors till the end of time.

Well, after that i used a reallllly cheesy tactic that i had thought about the time i made my first post here ,as a last resort, and finally and i was able to mopp the floor with him, though it didn't make me much happy, but i really can't see how i can kill him at this level without wasting my (little) money in buying some bunch of scrolls, and even then i will still probably get owned. Still open to suggestions though, it would be nice if there was a way that i could win this without having to use the door to run away to the next area from his horrid's spells so that i could save some of edwin's recklesss dweomer's to cast PfME so that my team doesn't go nuclear on me from his chain contigency.By the way, the loot of lich was really "nice": a sex change operation for edwin, and 25 gold pieces. though that's ok since i used a cheap method to over this.


EDIT:I got 2 other small questions,off topic but i will ask them here anyway.

1º: is remove magic actually useful on a sorcerer in a 6 men party on improved anvil?Won't his level be kinda crappy to actually dispel effects, protections of other mages?

2º:i unistalled improved anvil and reinstalled it again so i could fix some of smaller bugs on v5 like, ray of fragmentation not work on some of the golems, ancient dragon's loot, etc.Want i wanted to know is if unistalling and installing IA will affect in any bad way my current game?I don't think it will, but since i have 0 experience in unistalling mods during mid game, i will ask just to make sure.
