[X] Run some divination to determine the actual effects of examining one of the examples of the oath-bound dead, if it will trigger some kind of reprisal. Mostly you believe if you tried to work some magic on it, and it made the thrall lash out or destroy themselves, you would lose any good will here and render your purpose here pointless. If you feel like there shouldn't be any problems if you keep your touch light, you will try to convince them to allow you to examine the magic binding them, but if signs aren't good you will instead jump straight to the source. -[X] Argument: You honestly haven't heard of any examples of a Necromancer who could raise the dead without a hard and fast limit on their ability to bind them up to a limited number. Except for one, and it paints a grim picture. You do know someone who could help if your suspicions are correct.
