The lich will be lvl 14 cleric (I think full cleric lvl) and be surrunded by swarms oof undead creatures. The ones going after this lich will be a lvl 14 warlock and me: 3 wizard, 3 human paragon, 8 Incantatrix. The thing with this enounter is that they will try to kill one of the players (internal conflict, don't go there) horribly just for the sake of it. And they will most likely be prepared for us. I would love some suggestions on the tactic we tinkered up against said lich... oh... the lich also has a lvl 13 wizard/incantatrix friend that will join when he/she is notified of combat. Anyways, I was thinking about polymorph and anti-magic field as the best ways to really humiliate this lich. Polymorph into a big thingie that wields an ever bigger weapon, full power attack and boom goes the lich. Ofcourse with Anti-magic field in place, the lich will be... kinda sad, no? Am I thinking to much, to little or just plain wrong? Is the the greatestest idea you've ever seen and you wanna be my groupie? (You can't!) Some suggestions or comments on this would be greatly appriciated!

You can have the warlock use a couple of scrolls of that before you teleport in (or whatever your method of entry is). There's a good chance the lich will be themed on necromancy. It wouldn't be a bad idea to go in with death ward and maybe sheltered vitality (Spell Compendium 188) active. Again, the warlock can use scrolls right before you teleport in. Another option is to buy a talisman of undying fortitude (Magic Item Compendium 188). It costs 8,000 gp and you can activate it as a swift action twice a day to gain undead immunities for three rounds. Six rounds is plenty of time to screw over a necromancy-themed enemy.

But if you need to break to heal yourselves, its perfect. Another suggestion would be Dimension Door for short range tele's. As I'm pointing out, when fighting swarms, you need to avoid AoO
