I did this quest just yesterday. Here is how I did it.

1. I put all of my NPC's right next to the door and armed them with missle weapons.

2. I sent out my PC wih boots of speed untill I saw the fire travel along the floor. He then ran back into the little room untill the centre of the table was just out of view.

3a). I then cast "Death Fog" as close as I could to the table. This brought the Lich's HP stats to badly indured.

b) (May not work).Cast a second "Death Fog" and let it do 8x4 HP damage, however this may cause moral failure and he wont talk to you.

4a) If you didn't cast the second death fog cast one in the room you are in but try to cast it far enough away not to affect your team but not to case the enemys that spawn to attack. Then walk into the room and talk to the Lich.

b) If you cast the second "Death Fog". Walk into the room and talk to the Lich.

5. The Lich will teleport into the small room. Get all your team team to attack the Lich he should die almost instantly.

6. Send a Fighter equpied with the "Sheild of Balduron" into the room. The Beholder and the Warrior guy will attack. Get the fighter to walk back into the room. The Beholder wont be able to hurt your fighter. Get every one else to attack the Warrior. The warrior should die from the barrage of missle weapons and the Beholder will kill its self.

7. Quick Save.

8.(I dont know what was with this Vamp but it had real high HP and I couldn't hit it with any weapons). Cast "Chaotic Command" and "Resist Fear" on the Fighter and send him to the lower part of te room. The Vampire should now attack. Bring you fighter back into the room. If your fighter has the "DayStar" sword like my one did wait for the Vampire get close and personal and cast "Sun Ray" and another char if possible to cast "False Dawn". This should bring the Vamps health to badly indured. Then cast 2 "Magic Missles" on it and 1 "Chain Lightning". I believe this should kill it.

9. I then sent out my PC Sorcerer with boots of speed. I cast "Ice Storm" to the Norh end of the room. This caused the Female Mage to attack. I ran back into the room and she cast time stop. However as she could see no other people she did not cast any spells. She then cast gate summoning a pit fiend. They brought each other to near death. However the Female Mage stoped attacking the Pit Fiend and attacked me. I cast 1 cone of cold and then a chromatic orb. I believe this killed her.

10. The Pit Fiend then attacked. I cast 1 "Magic Missle" on the Pit Fiend. This killed it.

This resulted in a nice cash reward, the Staff of Magi (a very good weapon), a Beholder Eye (needed to escape) and a very nice lot of experiance.

OK this requres a lot of luck and a team with all the equip and spells I mentioned here, but if you have these you should do OK against them.
