I can tell you how I would have run this.  I would have baked the entire
party in a few melee rounds.  Any lich that could make it to lichdom would
never be bothered by two 4th/5th level gnats.  Was this lich trussed up in
unbreakable chains, gagged blindfolded and sedated?  Then perhaps you might
have killed him with only one of you ending up dead.  Was this a special
prepared ambush for the lich? (If so, you were foolish not to have a remove
fear spell ready.)

Unless this is the worst monty haul dungeon I have ever heard of, how did
you do this?
