Don't take this as if I am saying it in an offensive manner, I am not, merely constructive critisms.
But wouldn't giving a necro a small echo (or something along those lines) before you guys start writting/making the lich quest be something to think about? If it does indeed take as much time and effort how is said necro supposed to know that you are still working on it and just got a bit burned out for a day or two?
