Adriel, wait! She says in a hushed voice. Franzine then grabs Adriel's arm to stop him from casting the spell.

Do you think that is a good idea to cast a spell on a token? We're supposed to gain the trust of these folk. If someone is caught with an enchanted coin, that could get them in trouble which could lead back to us. Maybe we should talk this through.

"I don't think there's a significant risk of Razmir's masked priests recognizing it's enchanted. As you can see, the effects are invisible." Adriel takes the token out of his pocket and cups it in his hand. "They only become visible when I touch it, like so." Adriel fiddles with it, and a seven-sided star circled by snakes masks the symbol of Razmir. "The idea is that if the Pathfinder we're recruiting is reluctant to admit their ties to Razmir, they can speak to me in the Grand Lodge, and the symbol will be replaced with that of the Pathfinder who recruited them. If you're still hesitant, I can scrub it off, but spells that detect magic don't identify a specific spell and the item itself isn't enchanted, so it would need to occur to the inspector that the token itself had a spell cast on it when any number of items in reach could be magical. They're as likely to dismiss that it's the hat I'm wearing they're sensing." As an example, Adriel cups the token in his hand and raises his hat using his other hand while speaking in Draconic, lifting the token into the air before putting it back in his hand. "There is definitely some risk here, but I don't think it outweighs the spell's use as a bargaining tool. We're more likely to recruit Pathfinders with some distaste for Razmir anyways, and all they need to do is show the Lodge the token, speak to me, and use it to identify themselves as an agent of the Pathfinder Society from then onwards."

"Hmm." After Adriel finishes reading over the letter, he nods his head before passing it over to Trig. "I can't say that recruitment is my area of expertise, but I'll keep an eye out for new Pathfinders." Taking one of the tokens, Adriel starts muttering before waving his hand over the token. The token begins to glow, but what effect the spell had is not clear from appearance alone.

The effects of the spell:
Adriel cast sigil on the token, imprinting his magical symbol invisibly over the symbol of Razmir. If he ends up taking steps to recruit a new Pathfinder, he'll make note of his sigil (a seven-sided star circled by snakes) and instruct the recipient to meet him in the Grand Lodge in Absalom on joining the Pathfinder Society so he can reveal it if desired.

"If you're suspicious about what exactly I did, don't worry. It's not anything bad." Adriel cups the token in his hand before putting it in his pocket. "I hope it will be beneficial."

"Indeed. I'm glad to be accompanying someone else that has their wits about them. I'm as concerned about the government of the region as you are. I come from Kyonin, and the cult of Razmir is banned there, and for good reason."

...She's a handful. Adriel thinks.
"Of course. I'll do my best to guide you." Adriel says as he smiles, although it doesn't reach his eyes.

Adriel laughs. I don't know who invited this girl along, but she's sure to make things interesting. He thinks to himself.

Hello, my name is Adriel. I'm a scholar who's a part of the Grand Archive. I know a little bit of arcane magic, although I prefer subtler spells. I am also skilled in architecture, as I was trained in it by the School of Spells, so in that regard I should also be of use. As he finishes this sentence, he coughs. That said, my most useful skill here is, as always, my knowledge. If the priests of Razmir are as skilled in divine magic as they say they are, then having someone along who can identify it if necessary should be handy. And if not... well, I can see through their tricks. That seems like the more likely possibility.

"Hmph. I can't say I trust Razmir or his priesthood, but establishing alliances between the Pathfinder Society and the people of the nations it travels to is important. Besides, someone needs to keep an eye out for trouble."
