Guild wizard Tambor Innoreck, the late-middle-aged man of the Guild representatives in the room, leaned forward.  "Let me see that, if you don't mind?"  He turned the amulet over and over in his hands.  "If I hadn't been consulting the records just this morning, I wouldn't have recognized it.  But I think this may be what's left of the amulet of Wurra Stonesmasher, one of the more infamous of Rogue Wizards.  We recovered the amulet of her mate, Arran Shieldbiter, just this morning."<br/><br/>They listened to a more detailed account of the creature, and what it turned into, and the three representatives conferred together.  Finally Innoreck turned and addressed the Council.  "There are transmogrifying magics that could lead to that kind of body-reshaping.  It was a unique adaptation to draw the other bodies of the miners into her own.  We have feared that Shieldbiter and Stonesmasher have continued their forbidden research, but it appears that their magic got away from them, at least one of them.  It... may have been a blessing to have killed her.  But Shieldbiter appears to still be at large.  We will send a team of battlemages down at the Guild's own expense to sweep the mines both with all possible senses and telepathically.  Once we have determined the mines to be safe, you can send your clean-up crew for the miners; we will take possession of Stonesmasher's body for analysis.  We will also volunteer our stoneshaping services to open up that ramp they mentioned was closed."<br/><br/>"The Council will gladly accept the assistance of the Guild of Wizards.  Guardsman Wytphire, please talk to your captain for the usual compensation for you and your compatriots; we will authorize the appropriate expenses.  I believe that should be all..."<br/><br/>While the Council rustles about in preparation for their next order of business, Innoreck waves Cersei over.  "Incidentally, we'd like you to mention to your friends a bit of extra compensation the Wizards are offering.  We'd rather nobody spread the details of this particular transmogrification." He names a more than fair amount, but adds the stipulation, "the cash will come with the usual geas, you know, if the deal is broken, there will be a compulsion to donate twice the amount to the Orders, and so forth.  Just offer it to them.  And consider it yourself, if you please."  He nods and smiles, and then is called back to his companions.
