One particular strategy I used effectively:
Use a protection from magic scroll on Keldorn armed with the Holy Avenger. Then, hide your party in the corners, and whale away with Keldorn. He will only do 1 to 3 damage per hit, but the demi-lich only has about 50 or so HPs. Thus, he will fall well before your protection from magic will (In fact, since the scroll lasts 10 turns, it actually endures for 1 hr 40 min game time!)
If you don't have Keldorn or another Paladin, any char with a good THAC0 (not enhanced b/c the prot. from magic dispels all effects, including beneficial ones) and a powerful weapon will do the job. Characters such as Korgan or Minsc armed with items such as The Wave, the Warblade +4 (or Soul Reaver +4), Crom Faeyr, etc., will do the job nicely. Sling of Everard +5 or the Staff of the Magi may also work, but chars. with those weapons usually don't have a THAC0 good enough to hit consistantly.
Hope this helps.
