You find a high point in your current hex, and search around in all directions. This takes an hour, not just for the search but also to locate a vantage point and reach it. Typically, this is done as part of Travelling Overland.

Roll+FOR. If more than one person is taking this activity, each character rolls, and the highest degree of success is used.

• Complete Success: You spot multiple interesting things. If one character is rolling, choose two Good Things from the list below. If more than one character rolled, each may select one Good Thing if their roll was a partial success or better.
• Success: You spot something of interest. Choose a Good Thing from the list below.
• Partial Success: You spot something of interest. Choose a Good Thing and a Bad Thing from the list below.
• Failure: You don't spot anything of interest.
• Complete Failure: Your eyes deceive you. Choose a Mistake from the list below.

• You spot a landmark, and take a good bearing on it. Next time you Travel Overland, if the time required is more than two hours, reduce that time by one hour.
• You spot another party moving towards your position. You cannot be Surprised by that party while you are in this hex.
• You spot a ruined building.
• You spot a source of food. Each party member need not consume a ration next time they Eat A Meal.
• You spot a really good campsite. Next time your party Takes a Long Rest, each party member gets one additional hour to spend on Rest activities.
• You spot a small settlement within the hex. They might even be friendly.
• You spot a cave. At the very least, it will provide cover as though the party had a Campaign Tent.
• You spot a hazard of some sort. Each party member gains one instance of forward favour to any roll made to deal with the hazard.

Anything that you spot, you need not Search for at a later date; you automatically find it.

• While studying the terrain, you miss a creature stalking you. The next time the party is attacked, they are Surprised.
• You're not certain of the location of something that you spotted. You will need to Search when you get closer to it.
• You manage to fall and hurt yourself while climbing to your vantage point. You suffer one point of Injury.
• It took longer than you expected to find a good vantage point. You must spend an additional hour on this activity.

• You spot an obvious source of wealth, such as a gold seam, a looted caravan, or a ruined mansion. Unfortunately, it turns out to be false wealth, or worse, a lair for monsters.
• You spot a dangerous threat in your planned path. It might even be real. If you continue on your path, you will spend two additional hours on your next Travel Overland, as the party is keeping an eye out for the threat.
• You spot a large ruin of interest, but when you reach it, it turns out to be a natural rock formation.
