Immediately, a big ghostly green hand swoops in and grips the rabbit whole. His knife safely handled by Valencio, Orville's stun faded away quickly.
"What is zis?! Magic?!"
The hand floats the rabbit in mid-air, his feet no longer touching the cavern floor.
"I got him, Rosa!"
You see Craig concentrating, trying to keep the magic grip stable.

Doesn't matter if he answers or not, there'll be glimpses of the truth that Millie can pick up, you think to yourself.
"Got it!"
The two of you approach the would-be cultist assassin.
"You've got a lot to answer, bucko!"
That same scowl answered you.
"Ach, your mind tricks won't work on me, jungfraulein... I know you, little witch. I have trained meine self for zis. Und zis magic would not last. I vill make ghosts out of you all!"
It's true, his mind is harder to crack, says a thought that isn't yours. Huh, is that you, Millie? Yes, I'm using telepathy, you have to make him drop his guard somehow, the thought fades. Seems like Millie's focusing on reading Orville's mind now. But how are you going to make him drop his guard?
