Everything in the gift shop is a phylactery under heavy obscuration spells, and they've been at this a long time. Actually killing the lich is a lengthy campaign of hunting down old/retired adventurers across the kingdoms and attempting to destroy their treasured keepsakes.
Why would you kill the lich? Just cast Stone to Flesh and leave them petrified forever. If you really want to be thorough, you can trap them in a demiplane just before casting Private Sanctum for the 365th time permanently blocking it from interplanar travel.
It could work as a oneshot about a dungeon that endlessly respawns its monsters, and how it's become commercialized and adventurers are little more than tourists.
There is almost certainly an anime with that exact premise, isn't there?
This is the premise of the "French comic" Donjon where the dungeon is a company dragging adventurer looking for fortune and actually looting the adventurer possession, while letting some flee away as part of the marketing budget. Things get worse when a stupid duck working for the dungeon put his hand on a magical talking sword and has to do some epic feat to be able to pull the sword.
But it has been a premise for plenty other stuff too

I'm a big fan of neat rocks tbh, if there's not a quartz in there that I will immediately forget the origins of I'm not interested

Phew! One more hour and we'd have had to call a doctor!

Hahaha it was boring. It was like "One more and we'd have to call a doctor!"
But then I was like "One more what? One more loaded?" I dunno, the inexactness was bothering me and I wanted the quip to land. 😂
P.S: Also, you're cool. It's always a fun time crossing paths with you here on Lemmy. :p

Honestly a very fun take on a lich who know's he's not really dead and has a clone jar waiting for him

The trick is to leave them permanently petrified instead of killing them.

Looks like a great line for a "Fun/Joke" game, but definitely not in a campaign.
