Also, I don't know of a single good or paladin character that jumps to smite someone at the first report of something necromancy or evil.  If that was the case, they are on a quick road to an alignment shift...

I never once asked anyone to go smite happy Bella, never ever ever ever, my char asked for an investigation on the matters. That's a far cry from go smite them.

Well I know that a paladin PC did investigate the said pc your referring too.....I also know an NPC noble checked into it as well....so things were done.

No, mercifully I wasn't.

A harness of plate, full helmet, claymore, crossbow, twenty bolts, a shortsword and a pencil. No I don't recall why I had the pencil.

The pencil was against the really tough enemies. Because, you know... the pen(cil) is mightier than the sword.

Another thing to bear in mind if you do ask NPC's to investigate someone, they might well have found something out, and what appears to you to be them doing nothing... is a long standing tactic of Cormyr's at play, of letting some folks run free and watching who they interact with so they can swoop down on a conspiracy rather than a long guy who's partners all then crawl back into hiding.

Cormyr likes to snatch up entire groups rather than single guys. On the flip side it might be nice in such situations to have a small interaction where a character is told 'Interesting, we are watching the situation for now, but we will contact you if it develops further' or something so the character and player feel something is happening, even if on the surface it appears it isn't.
