Lich's troops run up and begin to take advantange of high ground against the enemy (high ground being the ship) and rain arrows down on pc's and enemy army.  Lich might take this opportunity to make it hard for the pc's to return to the ship.  An air elemental to help the dragon right about now would be about right.Third round. pc's are still trying to get aboard ship, or have returned.  They have to engage the army of the lich. Lich can do whatever he wants.Biomancy? hmm Orcs excreting a stench like troglodytes?  Regenerating orcs?  Orcs with spines?  Orcs with Scorpion tails?  Humans with snake arms/hands?  Humans with black pudding spittle?  Humans with tough skin?  Humans with bat wings (aerial troops)?  Humans with 4 arms?  Orcs with snake hair (rastafarian medusa?)?hehehehehe(edit: round doesn't mean round per round, but more like round in a boxing match)</blockquote>
