[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 6769630, member: 54629"] I'd like to give them the opportunity to know everything, but I don't want to just give it all to them for free, as it were. Doesn't really matter to me, other than needing to know how many downtime days to "charge" them for the information. Not really. The cleric is of a rival faith. The dwarf is not a member of the church, either. They would definitely need to make donations in order to gain access to the church's holy texts and such. I'm also not sure that the temple in the PCs' town would have anything beyond the basics, either, so they probably would need to go to a city to find out more. Or find someone who knows a lot about undead. Sure. But that doesn't help me determine how many downtime days they'll need to spend to even get to that point, let alone how many days it will take to speak to the sage and so on. As for the letter of introduction, I gather that's partially what the added cost of 1gp/day on top of lifestyle expenses is meant to represent. I'm not sure they'd be that common. I think some special circumstances are required. It's not enough for the dead person to be mad. There needs to be some sense of injustice. Like, in my case, the PCs killed the half-ogre despite the fact that he was trying to surrender. Furthermore, he wasn't actually evil.
