Top Ten Things I would NOT do if I were a lich

1. Regret my past life as a miserly old wizard. Screw that guy, he dead!
2. No time will be spent in moral considerations, akin to (but not excluded to): “Is necromancy evil? Is angering the gods of death wise, in any world, including this one? How can my apprentices possibly be this useless, even as reanimated corpses?”
3. I would not dig deep holes. There’s plenty of things necromantic and ice magic can accomplish. Exhuming bodies is easy. Digging holes to bury bodies – not so!
4. No cutting of the necropolis costs! Ice sculptors are a pain in the boney arse, but if I have to levitate above their heads to make sure that they’re doing their job all well and proper, I will! No second-hand ice will do.
5. Responding to old acquaintances, fellow advisors and friends from my old life…while it may sound good on paper, something tells me that those guys will tend to be conservative; all for the traditional monarchy, for leaving things as they are. Well, not me! I am a progressive lich! I vote for change. End to life, and death eternal!
6. That should probably not be the platform I go with, after conversing with several of the recently deceased.
7. I would not lose that most annoying of wizardly traits, even in death – inexplicable idiotism!
8. The eldritch smell of death would not stop me from exploring the fissure in space and time – so what if it looks like a festering wound in the sky above my floating ice fortress? I don’t discriminate!
9. I would not feel pain. The demonic forces that will shatter my icy carcass would be just that quick to act.
10. No regrets at making a pact with an Arch-demon. None. What. So. Ever.
