I'm planning to run this scenario and have some questions about the runes on some slaves' foreheads. These questions may be stupid but I am new to GMing.
If PCs use detect magic, do they detect as magical? If PCs escort branded slaves out of the museum to normal Absalom, do the runes disappear from the slaves' foreheads? I'm guessing that a successful knowledge (planes) check might grant them some information about the runes.
