You can Investigate a Location to learn more about it. A Location is a distinct area, such as a room, a clearing, or the depths of a large pond, etc. When you Investigate a new Location, you will first choose if you are using Recon, Analysis, or Sensing to do it. The Perception Skill you choose will affect what types of questions you get to ask as a result. You can hold your questions, asking them after engaging with the Location in other ways.
The GM will respond to each question with basic, but accurate information. Answers gained from this Ability will generally never put you in danger or reveal you. You can gain further info by engaging with the Location, but that can put you in harms way or draw unwanted attention. Your deeper prodding into a Location may also require further SkillTests.
Clarifying Questions are Free
If ever a GM's description of a room or area is lacking or confusing, feel free to ask clarifying questions. These questions will not count toward the number you get from the Investigate Ability, though the GM may require that you explore more before revealing the answer. If your exploratory actions carry with them a risk, like if those actions would be Loud, the GM should warn you of the danger first.

The Question you ask determines which Perception Skill the GM will use in the Test. For all curly braces, choose one option or identify a matching target:
