The immediate failure is known: Thimble was attacked before delivering the genuine glyph, while a different magical signature was placed on Thjazi.

The group is threatened immediately after asking Solomon about Casimir, but the attackers’ identities and motive remain unrevealed.
The Stone was removed from the hideout during the attack. Its purpose is now known, but its current holder and the motive for taking it are not.
