Acererak sends an urgent missive to Valkys that if the Solistarim report even a single more raid on the City of the Gods, that he's going to find whatever poor excuse for a demiplane they're sitting in and pull out everyone's wings personally and pin their bodies to his crypt wall, with nametags underneath. And that includes the dragons! He scries for the point where they're launching their raids from. And the same thing goes to whoever initiated the raid through the cordon, except maybe about the wings, but he'll work something out. Did the Solistarim recognize them? (I assume they're sharing this with the world)

Furthermore, the Father of Obedience is displeased. He is on the verge of forfeiting his nickname. From now on, he operates permanently under a Foresight spell, and is working from an undisclosed location. Speak With Dead is used on the bodies (which speaks with the corpse, not the soul), to reveal the attackers and their methods.
A Grand Assembly is called for, with each major and minor official being gathered in the great hall (including all diplomats, who have been temporarily recalled), and Acererak himself in attendance as an honoured guest. Squads of Succubi in leather trenchcoats pass through the lines, using their Detect Thoughts on all of the Brothers while they are made to blaspheme the name of Tharizdun. Anyone who is not an open book and filled with revulsion that fellow Brothers would break discipline are brought before the demilich with predictable results. Anyone not in attendance gets a dozen Retriever demons sicked on them. Oh yes, the Father is displeased, and he spares not the rod.
