"That's a good idea," Salix replies reluctantly. He takes a deep breath and continues, "What do you think, guys? Wanna unload some wagons?"

"Allistair, when you go back tomorrow, why don't you ask them about these "passes" we were given. Maybe you can find out if they can track us or if we can get rid on them if we have a job."

"About that," Salix says, "Weren't we told they are good for three days? How long have we been here so far?"

"Did Surin or Kal end up buying any of those pearls? If you have one, I could find out right now. These passes have been bugging me for the past couple of days, and I'd like to find out without arousing suspicion. It could be disasterous if these passes can be used to track people, or worse, to listen in on conversations. If the druids we're looking for are still alive, then the mayor at least has the magical capabilities of masking or shielding any attempts to contact them. And if he can do that, spying on people with the passes would be relatively simple."

(OOC- I'm just guessing, but I think passes such as these are probably a standard thing for towns trying to control entry. It seems to me that it's likely the magic is just so the guard can detect forgeries, or perhaps they change color when they expire or something else. Mark, are such things common in this world? Are these passes unusual in any way that we know of?
I'm just concerned that we're making too much of them. A pearl is a lot to waste if there's nothing special to them. If we don't have a logical reason to be overly paranoid about them, I'm not sure the group would be willing to toss away a pearl to test them. (speaking as a player and not a character, of course. /OOC.)

Ally and Kal have heard of places in the world who use things like these passes. While they can be used to spy on people that usually takes special preperations. The most common type are used as Salix suggests, to show when they expire and to show that the holder has paid their fee. There are other uses but they tend to be used on a case by case basis.
