The story Phoenix will be running with for team Red Keep is that they had sent some ancillary staff from Bureau Academy to Thay to prep for their arrival. As this is, after all, their city, they were supposed to make sure the Red Wizards that they had checked in and that the professors and student body were on their way. Given Bureau Academy's penchant for paperwork (and their considerable sticklerness to said paperwork), if said staff never showed, not only does Phoenix need someone to fill out some quick paperwork that they should have brought to the Red Wizards' attention (it'll only take a moment or two, it's just acknowledgements of their presence here at the town and at the school, extremely boring but necessary!) then he would like to know if the Red Wizards saw anyone come into Thay who might've been a bit different, as a few members of staff going AWOL is, as you might expect, a bureaucratic nightmare.
If they need actual paperwork to believe this ruse, Phoenix is a lawyer, he's quite technically the most qualified to handle this jargon. If asked why Phoenix specifically is doing it, he'd give the answer of, well, he's a rather recent addition to the teaching faculty, and as such he commonly gets saddled with doing the legwork on things like this. Seniority is as seniority does, right?
Aside from that: All the other teams are good with their DC, and if that doesn't budge the needle on getting someone to meet Phoenix, we'll just roll it as-is.
