I vote scouting first, since Torus has Judgment as an aerial perspective, in addition to his lesser Wildshape forms (cat, dog, etc.). 
If it's too dangerous, then the prisoner's dilemma should be assessed by he/she who is willing to participate as the faux hostage. I believe Brannor is too recognizable, due to the fight with Cyanwrath, so Kyra would be my second vote, if we're going down this route.
