Settling the matter
Aldrich entered the guild hall in his disheveled state, looking frantic and panicked. Many people looked at him in surprise, some of which were examinees like Aldrich himself.
Aldrich grabbed one of the employees and spoke incoherently, "the… quest… monsters… well… help!"
The employee looked stunned for a moment before he nodded and said, "alright, follow me."
He was taken to a room, a woman in the same uniform waited for him there.
"Tell me what happened and start from the beginning."
Aldrich started retelling the story but he obviously didn't mention that he eavesdropped on Sam and Liam's conversation. He also didn't say anything about pushing Sam down to his death.
Instead he changed some of the facts to look clueless and mentioned how Sam in all his valor sacrificed himself so that Aldrich could make it out and warn the poor villagers.
All this time the woman was writing down his story word for word. Aldrich had already memorized the whole story before coming here.
