Tried everything I can think of here.. The lich itself isn't really that much of a problem, the skeleton lords, however, are simply just too much for my front-liners. They are tearing my tanks to pieces within seconds. I don't really understand just wth is going on, I've dealt with other skeleton Lords before, and they weren't too much of a problem (the planar sphere demon fight amongst others).

My party is (all lvl 13-14):

Vagrant
Berserker
Anomen
Valygar
Nalia
Imoen

Heck, I've even tried resorting to some cheesier tactics, bottlenecking the Skeleton Lords in the corridors back towards the crystal area, but I still only seem to be able to get one of them down - at most - before my melee guys start dropping like flies.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'd hate to have to end up resorting to lowering the difficulty.

Here are some guidelines:
1) Make sure you have at least one guy with low AC, e.g. Valygar with a shield. With clerical buffs and right equipment you can get his AC around -20 so he wouldn't be such an easy target for Skeleton Lords.
2) Use Improved Haste and concentrate all of you warriors on one Skeleton Lord at a time, preferably with blunt weapons.
3) Use summons. They can buy you time while serving as damage absorbers.
4) If one of your characters getting too hurt, try to move them around and change positions.
5) Anomen should have an access to Greater Restoration by now, timely usage in critical moment can guarantee you victory.
