Unsuccessful, the Warriors return

After nearly six weeks of searching the ethereal plane around the island, Wolfdale receives a message on the wind from Shannon recommending that he and the Warriors come home for a short while. Walking out of the Ethereal plane is a great pleasure as you pass from out of the ethereal pudding and back into the material plane. You stare up at the fiendish oak tree and despite it's forboding nature you feel back at home.

As you pass through the gates of the city, the watch member on duty stops your group, staring up at Asa. After some debate the watch allows the group to enter the city but a pair of guards follow them. Wolfdale promptly scared the shit out of them and took their names.

Alicia, Ruha, and Shad find the party soon after

Alicia, Ruha, and Shad approach the party shortly after Wolfdale scares the guards, and Alicia tells them that she wants a debriefing at once at the Halls of the Even-Handed. When they arrive at the Halls, Alicia takes Wolfdale and Tam while Ruha and Shad interview the rest of the group.

Interviews

Ruha and Shad listen to the story of the events that transpired on the Ethereal plane and begin to ask questions.

How did you confirm the identity of the ghost calling itself Drusilia? "We didn't," replied Robhim.
Did the devils attempt to strike a deal with you? No.

After answering these questions, Ruha and Shad begin asking each of the adventurers questions separately.

Wes

Have you been contacted by the Liberators? "No, but I do sympathize with the idea of a House of Commons."
Do you believe that any of your fellow Warriors of the Morning Breeze could be Liberators? "No. They are all seriously unstable."
Is one more unstable than the rest? "Vaeriasa"
Who do you support for the crown of Lone Rock City? "JJ Wyeth."

Vaeriasa

Have you been contacted by the Liberators? "No."
Do you believe that any of your fellow Warriors of the Morning Breeze could be Liberators? "No."
Is one more unstable than the rest? "No."
Who do you support for the crown of Lone Rock City? "Jones. He killed the previous king. Those with power should rule."

Robhim

Have you been contacted by the Liberators? "No."
Do you believe that any of your fellow Warriors of the Morning Breeze could be Liberators? "No."
Is one more unstable than the rest? "No."
Who do you support for the crown of Lone Rock City? "Since Alicia would decline, I would support Harlann. He not really elven anyway—more like a half-elf at heart."

Simon

Have you been contacted by the Liberators? "No."
Do you believe that any of your fellow Warriors of the Morning Breeze could be Liberators? "No."
Is one more unstable than the rest? "Vaeriasa. But then she's a Harpell."
Who do you support for the crown of Lone Rock City? "Whomever will keep financing—generously—the Warriors of the Morning Breeze."

After the interviews, an emergency mission

When the interrogation is complete, Ruha draws a cluster scrolls. "These are you orders and you are to take action on them immediately." She hands orders to Robhim, Vaeriasa, Wes, and Simon. The orders read, "You are to report to Janus' former residence immediately. A exploration team of elves discovered a new area and they were to report back yesterday. They have sent no word. Seek them out and bring them back alive, if possible."

"Cadearo is waiting for you in the hallway. Take him with you."

Unintentional treason

Alicia leads Wolfdale and Tam to a conference room, where she requests that Tam wait in the hallway. Once inside the room, Alicia says, "I'm going to cast a spell on you to collect information quickly because time is of the essence." She begins casting and touches Wolfdale on the temples. A short moment later she opens her eyes and looks at Wolfdale.

"Divinations have revealed that the contents of the chest have fallen into the hands of Levistus' allies. This was through no fault of your own. I do hold you responsible for the poor decision on how to spend that Wish. You are a natural leader and you have to live up to that. You let Wes' personal goals override those of the mission. You should've used it to attempt to gather information on the whereabouts of the chest, not how to free his son from the "grip of evil". As a former adventurer I understand how these decisions get made."

"It has been brought to our attention that the chest I gave you was the wrong chest. It is in fact the key to another chest that belongs to a wizard in the Harpell School. It seems that someone broke into Shannon's office and rearranged his office. And this is not the first time that this event happened. Because this led to the forces of Levistus gaining the contents of the chest, I need you to bring in Brennell Flippins for treason. I know that he is a friend of yours, and he has done a tremendous service for Lone Rock City. I will recommend strongly that he be banished and not executed. By now Sir Valans has arrived. I want you, Tam, and Sir Valans to go and arrest Brennell. Here is paperwork."

Loot

From the thugs: +3,448 gp (all to be added to the slush for rez?)
- This assumes selling four each of longsword (masterwork), scale mail, +1 light shield, and gaining 100gp from each body.
