I never intended on it being a detective story but I can easily see how we can turn this into one. I'm all for it and if you guys are on board for doing that story, I'd be glad to incorporate it.
As for whether Alden cares or not, that's what it's all about. Maybe Alden won't care that the guild thinks about him, maybe he won't care that Qi will die, but that's the point. Each of these ideas are supposed to give a turning point for these characters. Whatever that point is supposed to be is up to you. Alden could change for the better or he could change for the worse. Or you could go a neutral route where he doesn't change at all.
Again, though, Alden might care if the entire guild comes after him for something he didn't do. I plan for OP Elrond to have a role in this, so he could easily dish out some damage with the others against Alden if he didn't defend himself.

He might care, if he wasn't stronger than the rest of the guild combined. I like the idea as a plot though, so I'm good with whatever.
As for other plot ideas... hmmm...
ALL THE MAGES IN THE ENTIRE WORLD DISAPPEAR ONE BY ONE. SPOOKY.

Well then, another point of conflict could be whether or not it would be worth challenging the guild over the issue and being known infamously for the man who killed an innocent guild member. There's a lot we could work with.
ALSO, LE SPOOKY.

I'm also voting for idea number 2. I have no ideas of my own at the moment.

I'm definitely coming up with some great stuff for a mystery. It'll be more about proving the character did it than trying to figure out who did it. Of course, there will be fights as well. GLORIOUS FIGHTS.

Hey guys, I had an idea for a side thread of the main guild. While the main chars are away to the Magical Council, the side chars have to protect the guild against [INSERT PROBLEMS HERE].
If anyone wants to build on that, feel free, and if everyone likes the idea, perhaps we can have a short side thread with our NPC chars.
The thread would end before the current main thread, so it probably won't be a very long one. Maybe just 2-3 pages tops.

Alright guys, I had an idea for the side thread for the NPCS. Once the main chars leave the Guild, the NPCs would soon after discover that something is different, wrong. They look out the windows to see only white. They open the doors and its a white void of nothing. The Guild is sitting 'nowhere'.
So the goal will be to figure out what happened and how to get the Guild back in one piece before the main chars return. After all, Elrond gave them the job to protect the Guild.
I have plans for how to get the Guild back, but I think it'll be more interesting to keep that secret and let the Guild Members figure it out.

That sounds really cool. I'm excited to see what will come of it. Maybe it'll actually be a mystery this time, haha.
Will it be like this?

lol how long would something like this take place? If it's over the course of a couple of hours like nearly every thread we do, then I realized it's possible if Alden got left behind, then he'd be present for some side action.

Yes, the side npc thread will last probably a few hours, maybe half a day. You can decide if Alden leaves before the 'event' happens or after. Either way, he'll probably be able to be involved in both threads, if you want.
Asmoday would like Alden to be in main thread though.

As said, it was always my plan to have him in the main thread, just arriving later on, probably once the action has started.
But as you said, since Elrond's flying rock trip on it's own would take a few hours, let alone for things to get underway in Era, if the side plot happens more or less soon after the group left, then I don't see why Alden wouldn't stick around for a bit to help out, and then leave for Era after that.
Certainly he can make the distance in no time with his telescope.
