Talking with the lost paladin to determine what happened.

We realize his candle is the The Candle. We convince him to give it to us (not really hard, he's just not there).

We read the lost paladin's book to get clues. After 4 hours, we find a passage referring to the lead of the bandits having a bell.

Someone has a vision of the key in a jar in a woodpile; the also see that the key opens a wooden chest containing the book. Both in the regular realm.

We go looking for the bandit.
