He did. It means getting people off-team involved, which makes me reluctant, but he made some good points.
Basically, the idea is to have a guinea pig, free of the cloak's influence, to feel the symbol once we get close to it. The people who are shielded will take their cues from that person, and should be able to keep a level head and handle the symbol without any trouble.
If it was just that, we would still be able to do it with only us, but... he made one more point. When the symbol "disappears," the judge seems to be able to feel it. When I took the Kid's, he almost boxed me in with those goats of his. They were easy enough to avoid, but if it's a judge that controls something more threatening than that, we may need a group on standby to come in and fight.
