Of course a paladin who allows a necro to get this far almost And Rome if this was even remotely close to what I was suggesting Paladin A commits a crime in town Tell me how this is paladin like?

Paladin's heavenly wrath DISMEMBERS Necro!
deserves to get spanked.

I might agree with you. My point being this:
Arbiter A gets witnesses that suggests said paladin did the offense in town
Arbiter A askes Paladin A if he had committed alleged crime
Paladin A refuses to answer
of a paladin who declines to answer. What was that about honesty and
the paladin code? It's in there.. isn't it?
