Okay so I found the unsettlingly named Lost Boy Cave to the north of Leafrot cave from a DB quest, and what do you know - it's a necromancer hideout. But not just any hideout. There's a very cool backstory to this cave, that ends with a Lich ruling in the back room, and multiple references to the maggot king, which leads me to believe he may be carrying the maggot king helm artifact. HOWEVER, I am unable to attack him! He just stands there, occasionally taking a step or two, but being completely unresponsive to my furious wood elf, swinging away at him with my sword. Arrows go right through him. So I can't get whatever amazing loot he's carrying because I can't damage him. Anyone else have similar problems, either with this NPC in particular or with any others? Anyone know how to fix it?

You have to be clvl 20+ to "Activate" the lich, and get a chance to kill him. Come back when you're more powerful.
(I had the exact same issue, I sneaked up real quiet like, shot him and expected a 3x dmg multiplier... nothing, so I ran up and stabbed him... nothing... then I went and looked it up in my game guide and lo-and-behold... I had to come back later... oh well, time to go close some oblivion gates.)

If you charged him low leveled he'd obliterate you, so you be happy he only fights strong characters! :)
Like with many of the Daedric Shrine quests, they had to level it, because low level characters woulnd't stand a rats ass chance of completing them.

Ah, that makes sense. Is he actually part of a quest? I just found the cave randomly...
