Subject: [mepbmlist] Artifact encounters and camps
All:
I have encountered a phenomenon twice in a current game and
occasionally in past games. An emmy moves to an empty hex and gets a
message that there is a crevice/trail/grotto etc. that can be
investigated. It's the typical artifact encounter notice. The emmy
decides he is too weak to face possible wights, creates a camp and
moves away. A stronger character moves in to investigate the
encounter and finds ...
nothing. No crevice/trail/grotto. InvEnc yields nothing.
What has happened?
One obvious possibility is that another nation's character has moved
in and grabbed the artifact or at least triggered the encounter. But
in my current game I am 85% sure from circumstantial evidence that
that is not the case.
What else could explain this? Is it possible that creating a
camp "turned off" the encounter? Yet I know that can't be true all
the time, as I have had artifact encounters in hexes with created
camps.
I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Yes, but if you find an encounter with an emmy without investigating
it, and send in a mage the turn after, you don't always get the
encounter or find it with 900. No enemy chars present. This I can't
explain.
