After Haroun and Bella leave, before they've even picked up their horses, the official is already reporting to the Vice Guildmaster, just in case all these anomalies correspond to Trouble above her own pay level in some way that only the Vice-Guildmaster can infer.

The Vice Guildmaster hears this report, shrugs, writes her own summary of the affair, and immediately faxes it to the Adventurer's Guild regional headquarters.  Just in case all these anomalies correspond to Trouble above her pay level.

A minor but highly cleared official at the regional Guild headquarters will read this report immediately, shrug, and forward it at once to the global headquarters.

A senior official at the global headquarters will read it immediately, and shrug one final time.  They will then toss their copy of the report to a junior runner, to be dated and filed in the usual filing cabinet for Anomalous New Adventurer Reports; marked with the purple tag of something that isn't obviously Trouble right now, but remains unexplained and might turn out to be part of some other Trouble later.

Centuries of experience have shown that this procedure minimizes the amount of Trouble that is allowed to pointlessly and preventably explode, though of course there is still plenty of Trouble left over.

The entire process is very predictable, if you are someone interested in predicting it.
