[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 6770591, member: 54629"] According to the MM entry, revenants are neutral. As an aside, I've decided I'll go with this: *checks = passive Investigation or Persuasion, depending on whether you're looking through books or talking to people *3 days = your passive check result *5 days = your passive check with +5 from advantage *10 days = all the info with no check required From what my players have told me, it sounds like their PCs are each performing their own research, rather than doing it together. The dwarf has gone to talk with the local priests of the dominant religion, who've pointed him in the direction of a bigger temple in one of the nearby cities. The half-orc, on the other hand, being a follower of the "Old Faith", has decided to seek out a fellow priest or sage devoted to one of the old gods of the dead. Neither of them has a particularly good passive Investigation or Persuasion score, so I've told them that they basically will have to spend 10 downtime days each (along with the associated costs), but at least they'll be able to learn everything without having to make a check (and, of course, those are 10 downtime days that can't be put towards something else, like the suit of armor the dwarf wants to make himself).
