I see your two months late and raise you three months late. Also wow, sorry for all the typos in my original info dump.
You all got FULL CREDIT for coolness, wow what BABES! So that was a +15 bonus on the roll. Unfortunately, the roll came out as 10, and the threshold for their choice being "right" was 30.
So a few weeks after their return from Kirkwall, news of Lady Clara d'Archambon mysterious disappearance would have filtered back—so she wasn't lying about her identity. A Riftwatch contact asked to look into it further will report back that d'Archambon, in her work as a Bard, had recently acquired some sort of blackmail on the Marquise Calvet, on behalf of a wealthy merchant who has also since died. Since then, the Marquise Calvet has amicably settled a border dispute with the Marquis Wiscotte, a particularly useful supporter of Celene's. No sign of d'Archambon having any connection to Tevinter will be found. Her lady's maid will confide in Riftwatch's contact that she loved Orlais and had cryptically mentioned a chance to impress the Empress before her disappearance.
This isn't necessarily a bad outcome: handing her over avoided damaging their relationship with the Empress and her personal spies, Riftwatch is not being blamed for anything, and they've received clear evidence that they can't trust Celene (or perhaps just Sedaina) not to use them for her own ends and lie about it, which will be good to know for the future. And Jade/Clara was totally going to kill that guy if they didn't stop her.

But, you know, all kind of sad and stupid.
