I'm guessing BD asked exactly the question she wanted to, and has a firm grasp on this story in her saga. Just as a guess.
The story is what the story is- there's no confusion there, and she wasn't asking for a recommendation for storylines. The question is about the "appropriate" response of an NPC, as a representative of Hermetic Authority, within that story.
The decision of that Q. could and will send the story in one of several different directions, depending, and that's a consideration, but that wasn't the question.
Quaesitores will judge the situation based on the Code, and whether sections were broken. With regard to this situation, (listed simply in the order they appear in the Code, not by any priority), they'd be looking at:1) Whether any magi "were deprived of their magical power"- a subjective judgement.
-
Whether any magi were slain. (Even accidentally, this trumps #1, and makes things much more serious.)
-
Was the Order "endangered" by his actions? (Sloppy, stupid actions can easily endanger the Order. Releasing (average sized) demons is a small direct threat to the Order as a whole, but indirectly threatens it by marring its reputation in the wider world if the demon does escape.)
-
Did he "deal with devils"? (Doesn't sound like it.)Those would be the salient points that any inquisition would base a judgement upon.
(and, yes, the aforementioned reference is to Xavi's comment, and the ensuing responses.
And I misquoted him- he suggested both, not just one. My bad.)
