Repeated Search Turn-Cost Procedure

Overview

This procedure prevents one-and-done dead ends while preserving time pressure through explicit turn expenditure.

Procedure

1. Resolve initial search/listen check.
2. If party retries, spend one exploration turn.
3. Make next check.
4. Repeat as desired while tracking all turn-based consequences.

Why It Matters

• Players can push through uncertainty.
• Wandering encounter risk and resource burn remain active.
• Keeps exploration choices meaningful.
