[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 1479230, member: 14403"] I'd steal the solution from Joel Rosenberg in his book Sleeping Dragon. You capture a red dragon wyrmling and fasten it to a spike with an adamantium, magically strengthened cable in the middle of a pit. Have all of the city's sewage empty into that pit. If the wyrmling doesn't want to drown in a pile of poop it will use it's breath weapon to incinerate the waste. :] I'd see your Lich creating an all undead force. They require no food or water, are totally loyal, and the enemy's dead soon join their ranks after any battle. Also, being a powerful wizard don't forget that he'd be likely to create golems for the same reason. If he has a way to cast a "Stone to Flesh" spell that would affect large numbers of people (perhaps through a Wish) he might have a Medusa on retainer who turns his troops to flesh until they are needed. In stone form they don't age and don't require resources. They also don't get any ideas of treason and can't give plans away with careless talk. I originally came up with this idea for a clan of dwarves turning themselves into stone to wait out a cataclysm. :) [/QUOTE]
