I guess I'd broadly agree with John's point here,
but just to play devil's advocate:
this section is not saying the Acolytes suss you out using some kind of
magical scan (and hence detects the unshielded Sommerswerd): it's more bad
luck (hence the Random Number Table choice) - something about your manner
or body language makes them suspicious, then he says something to you in a
language that you don't understand. It could be that the *shape* of the
Sommerswerd gave you away. After all, that pommel is quite distinctive ;)
