question on finding artifacts.

Your in a hex and KNOW an artifact is there. you ar 99% positive, no
one else is in the hex.

You never got an encounter (nor did your emmy the turn before when
they made a camp there).

To get the artifiact do you investigate a non-existant encounter, or
try to simply pick up the artifact using 900???

Thanks,
Ken

This can be tricky sometimes. In my experience the new camp seems to "hide"
the encounter to some extent. In a recent game, I had an emissary die from
a chance encounter in a hex. A couple turns later, our team identified
which important artifact it was! I sent my other emissary there (not the
swiftest learner, eh?) who did not get the encounter, so she made a camp
and moved on. Various LAT's throughout the ensuing 5 turns continuously
confirmed the presence of the artifact, even though I had a high level mage
sitting there and issuing Investigate and 900 for 3 turns. An enemy
character also showed up at one point, presumably looking for this
particular toy. It was 2 more turns before I finally got the encounter
again and this time survived and picked up the trinket.... I also tried
React during this time to no avail. Not a good answer for you I think.
