Laerme's Emissary (Quest Spell)

Priests of Laerme value beauty and romance above all other worldly things. Pacifistic by nature, they often find themselves in the roles of ambassadors between enemy lands. On very special occasions, their goddess may grant the use of this quest spell to aid their peacemaking endeavors.
The priest casts this spell to seem reasonable and inoffensive to all Cerilian creatures of Intelli­gence 8 or better. As long as the affected priest puts forth a “friendly" appearance (using Table 59: Encounter Reactions in the DMG), no creature of sufficient intelligence will react to in a manner worse than “indifferent."
The power of this spell allows priests of Laerme to attempt impossible missions in the field of diplo­macy. A priest influenced by this spell could safely travel through an elven or awnshegh realm, knowing that no intelligent creature – even the awnshegh – will attack him as long as the priest maintains a friendly, helpful attitude. In addition, a normally unreasonable or evil character will at least consider what the priest has to say, rather than dismissing pleas or arguments out of hand.
This spell does not charm creatures into helping or obeying the priest. It will not magically stop an attack in progress or provide the priest with cover so he or she can enter an enemy's realm and assas­sinate the ruler. Should the priest do anything, or allow his or her allies to do anything, that would compromise the integrity of the magic, Laerme withdraws her protection immediately.
The spell's magic usually lasts for the duration of a particular mission. This might mean several days of travel through different realms, or it could mean one audience with a powerful individual. The spell usually expires after a month, unless the priest has not yet accomplished the mission.
Notes: Granted by Laerme of Cerilia, the Birthright setting.
