-Once you find the creature's tracks, you may attempt to follow them.  Make a Survival skill check against a TN of 10.  Again, if the creature was taking pains to conceal its tracks, add its total Stealth skill bonus to this TN.  On a success, you may track the creature for a distance equal to half a kilometer times your speed.  At the end of this distance, you must roll Survival again to continue tracking.  This movement is considered to be [[unbound:actions:Travel Overland]] at half your speed.
