Nuclear bombs.

>Aqua-Lich
So the arch-nemesis of a Dry Lich who instead of using Sand, uses water and worshipers umberlee, hiding it's phylactery with sunken treasures and Death sea caves full of high level loot

>>54429001
massive rock over the entrance and trap him inside, sorted.

>>54429001
They would swim down and all drown. Or end up in an air pocket and realize they ran out of hard rations two days ago, and starve to death.

>>54429056
this, if he cant get out he cant cause issues.

If there are areas he can teleport out from, then by definition those areas could be scryed and magic fucked to whatever flavor you fancy

>>54429056

What if his goal is to study evil water-proof tomes in solitude. You'd be helping him!

>>54429158
If he's not bothering anyone then I say live and let (un)live

>>54429158

>>54429185
But in order to become a lich you have to do something horrible, right? Heroes can't just let that slide. Otherwise, every nerd will go around sacrificing fifty babies just so that they can read their books forever.

>>54429269
Aqua-Lich did nothing wrong, stop bullying him

>>54429269
They were only fish babies.

>>54429447
Yes except they were Sahuagin fingerlings. And he drowned them. In acid.

>>54429001
>deep water
>anti magic
So uh, they don't?
Best case, they create open a portal right above the entrance to the lava dimension and close it all up.

>>54429540
>close it all up

What about the treasure?

>>54429578
There's treasure on the land too, and you don't instadie to invisible anti-magic field because you suddenly can't breath water anymore.

>>54429578
Once there's enough cooled rock covering the base, they can hire some dwarven miners.

Finally follow up on all those rumors of a mad inventor, and aquire his mysterious water survival suit. Additionally call on the favor youve been hanging onto from the brackwater naga tribe.

Time for an underwater adventure!

>>54429001
Gnomish scuba-gear, that or just swim quickly out of the anti-magic field and reapply water-breathing

He cooked a really shitty quiche for a potluck once.

>>54429539

merfolk or tritons, maybe. not sahaugin.

>>54429001
>>54429001
stuff a tiny air elemental in an adamantium bottle and start breathing bitch.

>>54429001
Hire a team of gnomes and dwarves to dam up all areas of water flow and pump out the water.

It better be defended by a pod of these

>>54429001
What system were they probably talking about in

"1533. Dropping a tree on the lich creates more rules problems that its worth."

?

My guess is 4e DnD

Na, that's just a trick demons play with spellcasters stupid enough to listen to them to cuck them out of their soul.

>>54440055
I thought Welch's List predated that. That is Welch's List, right?

It's simple. We just use this Cypher that allows us to breath water for 28 hours. That, or just phase through the seabed.

Just have a cleric bless the water.

>>54441390
It is from Welch's list. However, one of the entries on Welch's list is "I will remember we are playing 4th edition and stop using my imagination."

>>54429001
wizard uses portable hole to drain the water, barbarian uses her might to move obstacles, theif finds switches artifacts and gold, bard makes a new song and pretends to be useful.
