Ettore's report, consisting of both information he gathered and information from his assistants, is not hugely positive. The good news is that the wardstone barrier is back up, the people are loyal to Iomedae and the Queen, and morale is high.

The bad news is everything else. The majority of the population of the city, including the Knight-Commander, considers the Iomedaean Inquisition an essentially hostile force opposed to the interests of the population. It is a source of tyranny; small numbers of people, chiefly powerful nobles, support it. The rest of the population fears and hates it. Hulrun is expected to be the model for all future inquisitors and he is respected, feared and avoided.

The Knight-Commander ("Aspex") is popular, highly intelligent and well-respected by the commons and the nobility. He is a capable diplomat and unusually meticulous. He is reported to be an experienced and capable tactician and a capable swordsman and party leader. He does not reveal the majority of his magic items; visible were a lesser Wisdom headband, cloak, armor and two rings (Sustenance and Deflection), but no magic boots, belt or amulet. (His superiors can, from this, infer exactly what he did - that Aspex wasn't wearing most of his equipment when he met Ettore.) He evaded Ettore's truthtelling but is reported to have said under truthtelling that he knows of no areas where his priorities differ from Iomedae's in any significant way. He is occasionally assisted by a teleport wizard who appears to be a female elf disinterested in a Worldwound career.

(The inquisitor will include a physical description, complete with a sketch. He's not very good, but he could be worse.)

Ettore has three theories. The first is that he's a demonic spy, possibly Minagho the lilitu general, and that this was all an elaborate plot to implant one of their own as crusader leadership. He detects as Lawful Good and not under any illusions, he is not himself magical, and Ettore has seen no particular evidence that this is true. 

The second is that he's a powerful Lawful Good adventurer here, probably with his party, by coincidence. He claims he came here through a teleport failure, but it is highly unlikely. His superiors are more likely to know who would be teleporting within common failure range of Kenabres than he is, but Ettore is aware of no sixth-circle or higher adventuring opportunities other than the Wound in Mendev. If this is true, Ettore thinks it is worth keeping in mind the possibility that a miracle of Desna or some other god caused his teleportation to go awry.

The third is that this is a plot, and he is genuinely a powerful adventurer, but is operating as part of a complicated plot. Ettore does not know what power wishes to gain control of the fifth crusade, but whoever wished to do so appears to have succeeded, and this would be worth spending significant resources on.

As to the reported miracle, Ettore does not believe it. (He'll include a few descriptions anyway.) Knight-Commander Aspex reports that secret allies of his ambushed Minagho when she arrived, Disintegrating the roof and shooting her from outside her truesight range. If he is a demonic agent, no miracle took place; if his story is accurate, no miracle took place. Ettore considers this story entirely plausible, though if it is true the Queen of Mendev is deliberately encouraging the spread of false information about a miracle of the goddess Iomedae.

He'll include everything else he knows, but overall he is tentatively positive about Aspex. (Should his superiors not recognize him from the description, a demonic infiltrator sounds more likely, but Ettore expects they'll recognize him. He acts like someone from Lastwall.)

Castelloni's immediate superiors in the Inquisition do not recognize Aspex by description. This isn't conclusive - the Inquisition does not keep files on every Iomedan adventurer in the world - so they'll pass the description along to the War College - 

No perfect matches in his files either. A couple adventuring parties containing an "Aspex" who have or could have the capabilities described. There'll be more if they assume it's a pseudonym, but it will take the clerks a while to assemble the full list and it may not be worth the time without anything identifying enough to narrow down the list again afterwards...

He's not one of mine.

We're going to ask the Goddess all the normal questions about this new Crusade regardless of what Keyron's people turn up. Let's do that first, and if those don't give us a reason to worry we can spare them the effort until we've got something else on the knight-commander.

Agreed.

The Knight-Commander is not to be treated as a demonic plot.

Inquisitor Castelloni is directed to complete his report on Prelate Shappok's fall and death, then hand off to Inquisitor Hawkblade everything he's learned about Knight-Commander Aspex.

Inquisitor Castelloni is directed to return to Vigil by the next available teleport, within one week. After completing his report and before his return he is to assist Inquisitor Hawkblade in whatever matters the latter should request.
