Once it was fixed, the player of the druid in the group suggested that he use his bear form's Keen Smell trait to sniff around for a trail to follow. Of course he found it and off we went following the path that was accidentally revealed. Along the way, we found a strange object that we interacted with in our usual foolish manner, setting off an encounter with some undead which was pretty harrowing. During the fight, an NPC tied to another PC's backstory turned up and shared some information. The NPC's information, the object we found, plus the presence of the undead revealed an important detail about our enemies and their alliances. After a short rest we continued to the pirate camp, taking the fight to our foes.Ultimately, we probably left some XP on the table by not wandering around the dunes exploring. But we wagered that we could just make it up with the time we saved by not pretending to be unaware of the safe path.</blockquote>
