You got it buddy. Take the advice of the old game computer. If you find a foe too hard, simply changing tactics will make a unbeatable foe only a little hard.
I learned that the hard way. Experimenting. There are a bunch of good ideas here on how to take out the lich, you really don't need a timestop scroll, it just makes it very easy. I took out my first lich in the city by simply battling it out.

I ran away from it. I summoned a ton of monsters to attack it and waste its spells. If it summoned a demon or genie, I killed that off. And then once its protection spells dropped, i went in for the kill.
The above hints will make the battles easier. Alot of us learned the right way to do it, quicker, easier. Take advantage of the items in the game designed for lich killing...I.E. Daystar sword, protection from undead, invisibility to undead, etc. Rings of the RAM (You can get 2 in the game i think) basically seem to penetrate any shield or protective sphere, They tear right through magic resistance, shields, mantles, etc. 2 of those in a row will put a knocking to many things. Plus its fun to watch the enemy get blown back by the force of the RAM ring.
Heck, take a backstabbing thief with daystar with invisible to undead on, and have him backstab one LOL. OUCH!
