'Yes' leads to certain dishonorable and pointless death as it was both easily avoidable and, in dying, he was unable to accomplish his (presumably highly important) mission. Note that this is a question of Law vs Chaos, not Good vs Evil. As Paladins are focused more on Good than Law (note that nowhere does it say that they do not willingly associate with Chaotic persons, but it does state that regarding Evil persons), the matter is not important nor pivital enough to warrant a loss of powers. A warning should be given, but even this will not result or require a dimminishment of powers. Now, if lying becomes common then a temporary loss of powers is likely necessary - say loss for one day as a major warning of an impending, more permanent, loss. Also, as has been said here and elsewhere, a single act (almost*) never alters an alignment. * (If the Paladin should suddenly decide to build an alter to a dark deity and drags a helpless innocent over to the alter, slicing open their chest to rip out their heart so that it may be burned in a brazier . . . Well, sometimes a single act can change an alignment, I think.)</blockquote>
