But if the party does have the firepower to punch a hole through the ship, then this gets very interesting.   Getting its heart torn open is pretty heavy damage; if the creature wasn't a freaking mile in size and existed in open defiance of both God and Science, that normally would be fatal.The simplest counter to this tactic that Pilus has would be a Wish spell; just forcing him to expend that to save the ship would make this is a pretty good blow in the party's favor.  Pilus would also need to somehow force the PCs away from the heart, once he had repaired it.  Is Pilus willing to fight to the death for the sake of his masterpiece?Granted, he's a Lich.  Even if he goes down fighting, he can always recover later as long as the phylactery is hidden.</blockquote>
