  Mini Bob seems like the kind of guy to hide under a rock and say &quot;Ya ha ha! You found me!&quot; when you discover him.

  One of the things that is often forgotten in these situations is that your character is supposed to describe what they do, and the DM then describes whether you get a roll, and what skill is used.<br><br>It’s not, “I do a perception check. Do I see anything?”<br><br>It’s “I hush the party for a moment, and turn in a slow circle, peering in every direction, including up into the trees and down at the forest floor.”<br>“Now that you’re paying particular attention, you catch a glimpse of suspicious shadowy humanoid silhouettes crouching deep in the forest in the direction you came from.”

  For all the 5e players who wants a better exploration, you can get a lot of inspiration from games like The One Ring and Forbidden Lands

  I love how you are &quot;Exploring&quot; your creativity in the medium. Keep it up, Bob, and by all means, learn to have more fun when creating these videos.

  As a DM, here is a free exploration encounter I have used with lots of parties and it always works: rescue a wolf.<br><br>A wolf is being attacked by some scary brute. Rescuing the wolf makes it follow the party at a distance.<br><br>A few long rests later, if they leave it food as it will follow them in an obvious but nervous manner, it will let you scratch it. It will act with self-preservation.<br><br>A few long rests later and it will respond to the name they give it.<br><br>Based on my experience they will prioritise that wolf more than any other world-ending crisis.
