(Formerly titled "lich bat-cave")
I am making one of the ultimate bosses for my party to fight; a lich with an enormous hidden lair under a city. The problem is he needs it to BE ENORMOUS! He is storing hundreds if not thousands of corpses (including one of a dragon) in order to use for an undead army (I've already handled the issue of only being able to have so many undead at a time due to spell slot restrictions).
My question is, what is the best way to hide this giant cavern, and the rest of his lair for that matter. It will have 3 parts, the main area for most of his studies (connected to a house in the city), the giant cavern area (where he hides the bodies and does more dangerous experiments), and a small room where he keeps his phylactery). Each of these 3 sections are to be concieled (he is super paranoid, it would take way too long to REALLY explain why his lair is under a city rather than in the middle of nowhere).
Edit: I'm asking about the DOORS for these three main areas. How do I conceal them (with or without magic, but preferably with since it's a lich)? This is my second time as a DM, and the first time making my own boss lair that uses magic (I don't really even know how to lay magic traps, though I am having an easier time finding information about those).
