May I point you in this direction? Feather landing spell, much?

Hm, good question. Maybe because he's (un)dead and already insane? Maybe he has the facilities to comprehend the superdimensional chainlink of chaotic, magical unreality that is BM's face?

Or maybe he's just socially intuitive, and can tell when a person is smiling even when their back is turned.

I'm guessing that the soul-keep-away game will go on, and eventually Fighter gets the soul, and then screws it up somehow. Thus, forcing BM to use some insane spell on Fighter for being incompetent.

I think that maybe Matoya's crystal is the Lich's gem. It seems like a pretty good hiding place for a soul. Matoya is going to drop it or something and the lich is going to die. That would be pretty cool.

Or maybe the Earth Rot is caused by Lich's soul corrupting the Earth Orb. Of course, this would beg the question as to how he got the Orb in the first place.

He got it from the dwarves...

...who couldn't keep it away from the evilness that is the Lich. Therefore, the Lich existed BEFORE the Earth Orb was stolen, so his phylaterthingy couldn't be the Earth Orb. I liked the idea it would be the RUBY. Thief would just have to give it to the Titan and *crunch* *munch*... No more Lich. Of course, in the meantime BM will have been NUKED or some such, so the Light Warriors are in deep tofu anyway.

Yeah, but if it was his philactory, then he'd have to have it before becoming a lich. And he was a lich when it was stolen, so if the earth orb was his philactory it would beg uncomfortable questions. Questions that would surely reveal a dwarven plot to uleash evil into the world in a jealous rage for being born such pathetic creatures. Cursed mud-puppies.

As for the smile, BM makes people loose it because he is the embodiment of pain and anguish, a Lich's death and transformation into such is an amazingly painful experience beyond mortal experience. BM's face doesn't bother him.

I was a monk, I had no such spells. My mockery gave him a second to gather himself and destroy me out from under the artifact I was holding. Remember kids, crush it first, and then laugh at the Lich's plight.

It's possible that Vilbert stole the orb, (Are liches vulnerable to sunlight?) which was then used by his father to become Lich. This would give Lich a connection to the Earth Orb, as befitting his status as one of the four elemental fiends. If he is one of them, I wouldn't know. I've never played the game. I've heard him mentioned in connection with the fiends though.

Heh, a funny thought came into my head about what would happen if the Lich King turned BM into a lich (not that I think this is going to happen):

The Lich King turns BM into a lich who is finally happy that he has no binding attachments to the rest of the Light Warriors anymore. BM is about kill his former comrades when he realizes that the jewel in which his soul was placed is in Fighter's hands. Then Thief steals the soul jewel from Fighter. BM is an undead creature and back in his previous status as slaveboy to Thief.

(Again, I repeat that I do not think this will happen. This is only sharing my funny thought with you guys)

The Sulk as the titan would fit perfectly with the connection between 8BT and the original FF1 storyline. We need Sulk now! Otherwise the fanboy will cry...
