I've already provided an example upthread of a PC searching around and stepping on a pressure plate after a failed check. The character has found the trap suspected to be in the area, but now his or her foot is on a landmine as the trap whirs into fell motion. I've narrated the result of the adventurer's actions as putting him or her in a spot and now more decisions need to be made to get out of the predicament safely.In the doing, I didn't need to take the dice from the players or keep them guessing. I resolved the uncertainty of the player's stated goal and approach and framed a new challenge as a result of a failed check.</blockquote>
