"Get out. All of you. None of you have authority here, and impulsive actions, illegal divination spells, and inquisitive prodding of the evil artifact will only make this worse. If you are not a suspect, constable, deputy or governor, you need to leave the premises. Immediately."
To the assembled Falan clergy: "Your resistance implies guilt. If you are truly innocent of any wrong doing, the investigation will prove that. Resist, and what do you achieve?

Surrender now, and let the process take its course."
