Here is the deal. The PCs have a contact who they do not realize is a Thuranni spy. She is working on behalf of Aundair to probe Breland's military strength, and possibly find ways to destabilize/weaken the southernmost country.

I need to find ways that this Thuranni agent can continue to use the party to further her goals. However the party is all good aligned, and even includes a paladin.

I am leaning towards a "rescue mission." IE- find our agent and protect him before the evil elven assassins (from Phiarlan) manage to find him first. But what other ways could she contract the party which wouldn't not tip off the party to what she is doing?

she could tell the PCs that some anonymous 3rd party kidnapped her father/grandfather/relative what have you and will kill her unless the PCs do blahblahblah.

a little bluffing involved, but thats ok.
