[QUOTE="GSHamster, post: 1850997, member: 20187"] What if the characters don't encounter the lich? Maybe the lich is distracted and not present in his lair when the characters sneak in. Alternatively, the party could meet the lich in combat, basically get TPKed and wake up imprisoned in the lich's stronghold (be careful not to use [i]disintergrate[/i] or something). They could then escape and would have incentive to avoid fighting the lich again. One last idea, going off the previous one where the lich has imprisoned them. The lich bargains with the paladin, saying that a child, one of the lich's descendants, is in danger from enemies. The lich sends the party to find and rescue this child, while the lich deals with the more powerful enemies. Of course, the child serves as the lich's phlactery, and the opposition are forces of Good who are perhaps more militant than the party. At some point (maybe after talking to the opposition), the party finds out the true nature of the child. [/QUOTE]
