So I do not believe it is necessarily impossible for an agent of evil to reside within a Paladin Order. But he needs to be meticulous and lucky. One accidental dispel and your ward is gone, unless you have a really high casterlevel. And you always need to remember to refresh the ward, without letting your companions know.
I know there's an NPC in Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast who wears a Ring of Misdirection which blocks all attempts to discern her alignment and motives. But I've forgotten her name.

Dear Arkanis, please give me the cheat codes from "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out". I have been stuck on Bald Bull for four years. I tried Left-Left-Up-B-dodge-uppercut, but it still knocks me out. And, you know, they say you're supposed to go Right-B-Up-dodge-Left-uppercu... [laughs] Listen to me, telling you how to play a game.

Try this
Beat Bald Bull in 19 Seconds
As soon as the fight begins, punch Bald Bull in the face until you receive an uppercut star. When you receive it, immediately use it. Repeat this process until you win.
To speed up the process, wait for him to do a bull charge. When he's right in front of you, jab him in the stomach and he'll go down.
Man I just need to ask...if you happen to be using a trashcan at the same time as someone else and they throw away a key to say...Candlekeep *ehem* won't name any names here...is it ok to keep it? You know, cause Hinzel is a rogue.
Hinzel - Fuer grissa ost drauka
Grainne - Lookin' for a good life.
Your life is yours and yours alone. Rise up and live it.
My take on trash cans is that anything thrown in them is fair-game for someone who wants to fish it out. That said, a powerful item or a token isnt a usual trash can item. Players wanting to get rid of tokens should probably build a campfire, put the unwanted item in it, then close the campfire to insure no one else picks it up, or give it to a DM.
I would say in this case that tokens are non transferable, even if thrown into the trash by a player who didn't want it anymore. I understand that a rogue would love to get their hands on one, but unless RP's with a DM I think that despire the "gold mine" find in the trash, that it really should be left there.

And who wins in a fight, kezef the chaos hound or the mighty tarrsque (sp) of the prime material plane?
These are world shatter mysteries that you must solve, go!
Yes, there is a WOTC book where a banshee wails but I can't remember which one (Atlas help me out) and from what I remember it is sonic in nature causing the air to shimmer as it ripples outward. In the case I recall it was an actual Elven banshee that wailed and not the spell, but I have a feeling that they are both the same in appearance.
Did some research on the second one. As the Tarrasque is mindless and bent solely on destruction, and Kezef is likened to an archangel and had to be improsioned by gods themselves (Tyr losing his hand) so I would think even though the Tarrasque is mighty (huge some 50 feet long and 70 tall) that Kezef could destroy it.
There is one in the Elaine Cunningham - "starlight and shadows" - trilogy iirc (in the second book: tangled webs).
