After some days, having bought some spells for Belos and set up a plan, the brothers returned to the mortal world, and headed towards the ruins of Menzo.
As soon as they engaged the golem, Belos felt they were being scried upon. He threw up a false vision destined to lure the lich to them. And it succeeded. Minutes after dispatching the golem, the lich arrived.
For what seemed an eternity, the battle raged back and forth with spells being thrown left and right. Dunder was useless, Jegred was quickly dismissed, Belos was naked and almost useless, Ta'gar was out and counting more than 5 times and Nalfein was stunned more than half the time. But yet, the brothers managed to defeat the lich in the eleventh hour.

After a good night's sleep, the houseless T'orghs tracked down the phylactery of the lich. Their divinations brought them to Araxis (as they presumed), where they found the lich's hiding place below the crypts of the royal palace.
It turns out that the lich was the king of Panolia, and the brothers decided to take over the control of the country. Using history to justify the odd transfer of power, they created an illusion of the king abdicating the throne and passing on the crown to the human version of Nalfein.
