Gathering information

The PCs might have questions they want or need answered before leaving. They could Know Things ("Has anything like this happened before?") or Seek Insight ("I go down and investigate the scene of the attack"). They might interview an NPC to see what they know, and/or use playbook moves like the Blessed's Call the Spirits.

Reward and encourage research, but keep in mind how long these things take. If they dawdle, tell them the consequences and ask. "Yeah, sure, but it'll take a few hours and the longer you wait, the harder it'll be to follow that trail."
