Hi folks, I've a great doubt about the spell called "Detect Thoughts" (link: https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Detect Thoughts#h-Detect Thoughts).
My doubt was born reading this piece of text: "You initially learn the surface thoughts of the creature - what is most on its mind in that moment. As an action, you can either shift your attention to another creature's thoughts or attempt to probe deeper into the same creature's mind."
At start I only learn the surface thoughts of a creature, ok, but on subsequent turns I must use my action to "attempt to probe deeper" on the same creature if I only want to stay on him and continue to ask my questions (without letting him find me inside his mind)?
In other words... During an interrogation with one creature, can I concentrate my attention on reading it subsequent thoughts without going deeper into his mind (and so without being discovered by it)?
