It's important to go after the city gate lich quickly (after you've gotten one or two quest under your belt) so you have a good weapon against the undead that stalk you in chapter 3. I do it by casting a number of spells: protection from evil; protection from fire; haste. You can go in with just three fighters and maybe one mage. Two fighters should attack at melee and one with the three shot short bow, the mage should fire a magic missile immediately to see if he can interrupt before casting. You can then cast some kind of magic removing spell, keep using magic missiles, or have the mage leave the scene. This number of attackers should remove the lich's defenses and he will die.
