I'm not really worried about combat, actually. Biedde only has one Influence to give, and Edge 4 Velvet (w/o Frightened + Scarred) + 40 Edge Influence and Edge 3 DoA (w/ on-command +20 Influence) is a pretty hefty amount of Edge to bring to a fight.Counter question: WHAT would you do differently, if we got the intel?
Are you worried about combat? Bring Biedde. Everything else can be deal with by basically just Axe and Velvet. (highest general bonus and the all-4 rerolls and +20)
It makes sense to scry only if we actually expect it would change our preparations, but at that point it might just be cheaper to... well... bring an extra Name.
I can't imagine an expedition where Axe + Velvet + Biedde can't win.
To come from an angle that perhaps you would care about more: if we're going in blind, we have to assume that any Lore could be used. Which makes the mathematically optimal Influence to ask from Mareinette the Grail Influence, not the Heart Influence, as I suspect you would prefer due to +2 Heart scraps.
(Edit: Also if we're bringing a plus one, it's got to be Selene. She's got a wider Lore spread, which is important for actually clearing the expedition and she can fight! And also have conversations without her general bonus dropping to +10.)
