Not that I can see.

A case could be made for Lawful Neutral, but describing a devil summoning necormancer as an upstanding citizen and seeking to avenge his death sits very very poorly with a Good alignment.

Let your PCs debate the justice or injustice of it all. Keep in mind that Cormyrian law may not accept 'he's evil' as an excuse to attack someone or cause his death. This is a country that accepts the worship of both Malar and Umberlee, two gods who are certainly evil. It also allows a necromancer to openly and legally practice his arts, including the animation of the dead. Make of these things what you will.

Ewan, Blaise isn't doing anything else right now other than walking with Rask to pick up some extra muscle before we head over to the warehouse. I think Blaise is ahead of some folks, chronologically, so I can wait. I'm enjoying the ethical debate!

So did Shana: but she's not a drone. When she found out those laws included "Necromancy is legal" she decided to treat them with extreme caution, and not to mindlessly obey them if doing so would lead to evil.

Who used magic while told not by a officer of the law ?

Your worship of the law is noted. He was an officer of the law on an island where necromancy was openly practiced, who had stated his intention of seizing the vanquishers of said necromancer for their act of defeating him. In other words, he was almost certainly not to be trusted. And the fact that he was an officer of the law is not important.

In any case, its far from clear he had any right to issue such an instruction. Shana wasn't under arrest, and second level spells are perfectly legal in Cormyr.

And set off the chain of events that happened their hmm ?
He was going just take Rardi and Ino into custody all peaceful like, but someone just had use magic and set off the afraid and nervous militia of young men and boys .

Ahhh, yes the old "Its your fault! I wouldn't have had to be brutal if you had just succumbed to my tyranny!" argument. Practically stereotypical Lawful Evil.

Someone casting a completely harmless and nonlethal spell in no way justifies lethal force against some completely different people! And in any case, are you really expecting me to believe that that was really the cause? Oh I'm sure they were panicked into action by an invisibility spell. After all, they were terribly unused to magic: its not as if they had spent their lives living on an island with a practicing necromancer. And did you notice the way that their terror of magic extended to the darknessed, silenced, hasted, blurred Gnome? Oh yes, their terror of magic was totally genuine, you could tell by their fear of and hatred for Threan.

Please. They were aching for an excuse.

Correct, but you'll be caught up pretty soon. It's a DM juggling show to handle seperate scenes, but it's working out just fine.

Still, if it looked like that to me, it looked like that to the militia!

Nice, I had to look up a half dozen versions of the song on Youtube after reading the lyrics.
