Advance spying recon for cleric?

[Rudigore]

My monk cleric is all about fighting undead.

It occurs to me that some sort of scrying or flying eye recon would be very handy when attacking a nest of baddies.

Any suggestions or ideas how I might accomplish that with spells items or allies?

Just coercing spells, right?

I'm open to anything. It'd be nice if it was hard to spot. It'd be nice to sort out the living from the dead thralls from vampires etc..

Could be a summoned scout, an item, a construct?

I'm not seeing a good spell on the cleric spell list.

You can take a couple levels of Witch and take the Scar hex and the one hex that allows you to scry through that. I don't know if that would work too well roleplaying-wise, but it seems to be similar to what you're going for.

What would people think of a summoned creature that would fly through the lair and return (or not). Perhaps a bat or a raven with the ability to answer some questions or carry a scrying focus?

What level spell? I think I'd need a 3 hour duration.

Is that too cheezy?
