A couple of Marit's men who are adventurers recruited from Absalom have drawn unhappily together in the corner, hands pointedly not near their swords, and are murmuring about their contract terms.

Ulbrig is glaring at Galfrey. "I can't think much of anyone who turns on their own men."

That is a very reasonable thing to feel but not to say, Ulbrig.

Yes, Galfrey knows that Aspex has been winning the loyalty of all his lieutenants while poisoning them against her. "Following the flight of Daeran Arendae and Catherine de Litran, it is clear that more than Aspex were involved with his expected treason. Bianchi, Nagy, Emerollo, you are free to leave." She waits for the sound of feet to die off. "Further, as your sorcerer and his ally have just departed, there is a significant chance the rest of you are under hostile enchantments." Also there are many other reasons to suspect they have unexpected powers, like the fact that there are a lot more succubi than there are adventurers with extraordinary grace and Boots of Teleportation. "Knight Seelah, please hand over your weapon until we can verify you are not enchanted." She has an inquisitor present (in the same armor as the paladins, obviously) and she looks Lawful Good, but appearances can be deceiving.

She looks at Aspex. 

They all need to STOP DOING THAT quite aside from all the other mistakes he should have talked to his people about having an OUNCE OF POLITICAL SENSE OF ANY KIND 

" - yeah, all right. Your Majesty, no one's - this is all a misunderstanding. Aspex wouldn't betray you." But she hands over her sword.

"Perhaps that may be so," she says, "but that will be settled by the trial. Sosiel, Ulbrig Olesk, Nenio, Lann, I regret I must place you under arrest as well. Should you be innocent, no harm will come to you." She should probably not be doing that with Seelah but she saw her throw smites around earlier this day, even if she was just under Bestow Grace of the Champion this is strong evidence she's Lawful Good.

"Is she lying," he asks Aspex.

"I think she is using a definition of 'innocent' under which no one is, but it won't go better if you fight, and I would prefer that you don't."

"Why."

"...we'd have won, I think, in the first place, but we wouldn't have won anything worth winning, and if you fight now you won't win, and will die, and if you surrender there is the possibility of negotiating something better."

"She's a dishonorable woman."

"It is often possible to negotiate with those. - I will find it personally upsetting to watch you die, and will consider it a favor if you don't."

"Hmmph." He turns to glare at Galfrey. "I have no sword for your vultures to steal."

"Your belt and amulet will be returned to you, should be found innocent," Galfrey says calmly. She's encountered too many succubi to be overly moved by people talking.

(Galfrey is fundamentally confused by Aspex giving in, that's totally unexpected, but it's a precached fact in her brain that letting people go when they surrender is not a winning strategy.)

Then they will surrender. Very unhappily. 

Marit is also confused. He didn't expect Galfrey to decide to kill him and that means he's missing something important but he's too angry to think what it is.

Well. One feature of the situation can be made to go away. "I think at this point there is no conceivable matter on which the Worldwound Treaty impinges, and it grants no right for signatories to watch each others' treason trials, though if Cheliax wants to propose an amendment to that effect I for one would be delighted."

"I am aware of no such provisions," she says, apparently regretfully. "...Alexeara, care for a Teleport to Vigil? It's on my way home."

"I will make my own way." And inform the precentors-martial that this somewhat familiar Chelish teleporter has a teleport location in Vigil, which is not in any sense objectively surprising but still useful information.

She nods, and turns, and departs in a swirl of really too much cloak.

"Seelah, ask Anevia to figure out how she got in. - not an order, just advice."

Seelah nods.

Then their magic items will be taken (yes, all of them) (yes, all of them) and they will be hauled back to separate Forbiddanced prison cells in Nerosyan under considerable guard. Seelah is not arrested but they would like her to walk in and out of a different Forbiddance fifty times without saying anything and also accept some Dispels.

Seelah can do that and to all appearances continues to be a paladin of Iomedae.
