Can I just ask how anyone at all knows anything about Adamar under his robes? I fail to understand how the information of him being an undead creature got out. I don't know how familiar you are with roleplaying (I'd like to assume at least a bit, since you write very well), but I'd like to ask that you don't take liberties regarding other people's characters. Being a lich is very obviously a closely guarded secret by Adamar. Nobody knows about it.
In the interest of the above concern, I also ask you to edit your previous in-character posts to reflect the lack of knowledge people have regarding Adamar's race.
Would it be possible for me to mention that he smells like a dead body? My character wouldn't know he's a Lich, but would assume he's either recently looted a corpse without washing or that he's a necromancer, then ask him about it while trying to be as nice as possible about it. She'd also explain that, as long as you came by all of your "supplies" legally and take responsibility for the actions of your thralls, no one around these parts cares if you are one. She'll mention that the old man at the farm uses a skeletal horse to plow with, but can't animate it for more than three or four hours because he doesn't have much skill with necromancy.
