After escaping the tower with your lives, you each receive 650 xp, this should put your total at 12,232. As you look through the treasure you hastily gathered you find another item, a small fan with blue and gold designs on it, it appears magical, just like the belt.
After studying the papers hastily gathered as you searched for treasure, you gather this information; The group called itself the Synod of Three.
The three principal players in this group were Lord Tremere, who is one of the major landowners in the area of Tallowmere. General Karas, who is the commander of the armies of Tallowmere. and a wizard named Lavas. The three of them have been communicating with somone or something calling itself Stagaralak, who has been supplying them with treasure to buy off nobles and commoners alike in the city. Apparently, they were communicating through a person known only as “The Voice From below”. The documents seem to indicate that the last exchange was the reception of a ritual scroll to “destroy the enemies of the Synod”.
