The Statue of Hermes

The statue is a slightly more-than-lifesize statue of Hermes himself made of some really hard stone. It appears to have been enchanted with not entirely hermetic magic, on the other hand. It has the following effects enchanted into it:

• If the party casting the aegis ritual walk closely around it widdershins thrice, with the aegis tokens at its feet then it will bind itself into the aegis, create arcane connections to the aegis tokens, and enchant them with a spell that monitors the wearer's surface thoughts for ones directed at the statue, and transmits them back to the statue. Not all the tokens created in the aegis ritual need to be enchanted in this way.
• The statue permenantly detects all sights and sounds viewable/hearable looking outwards from the boundrary of the aegis (if it has been included via the first effect).
• Possibly other effects.
