"There might be a good way to choose which path to go" Valder said, not realizing he was talking out of the blue. "I could send Ghastly in advance, he can hide in the wall and/or stay in the shadows to see what's up ahead while being safe. And then. When he comes back we'll ask him simple yes or no questions to choose which way would be the better".

 Valder was cool on the outside, but on the inside, he was anxious and hopefull. He was definetely going to keep an eye out for any prisoners!

Ventus blinked a few time at that simple yet ingenious response from his mercenary, before an excited smile graced his face for the first time in what seemed to be hours. "Brilliant, Valder! Ghastly is the perfect scout to employ in this dank, dark, diabolical wizard coven! He can become incorporeal in the shadows, freely faze into and out of solid matter, or even use Hypnosis and Dream Eater to neutralize any individual guard before they even have a chance to react! You deserve an advance for this idea, so I'll be giving you $500 Poke once we leave this place, my friend! Now, let us send out your Ghastly to explore this place, and make our assault a far safer prospect!" he whispered excitedly to them, reaching out and using his empathy to find Valder's location in the dark, and clasping him on the shoulder. While the merc doesn't speak up often, what he does say is often quite insightful. Go Valder!

When Ghastly came back and Shiva began questioning, the researcher has one of his own : "Was their any Pokémon down the Skull path that would pose a significant risk to our health? If so, are they a particularly viscous species or not? If not, was there any devices, traps, or mechanisms you detected that could potentially cause harm to us? Are their any guards down that way, and do they look alert and armed? Answer each of these question individually with a yes or no, as I want as much specifics as possible on the path ahead, rather than a general sense of 'Danger'.
