Locations

Locations are special stopping points where an explorer's party can make certain actions. As the expedition map is uncovered, these spots are first indicated by a (?) symbol. Once the player travels within two hexes of a location, it's exact type will be revealed. Locations can also be revealed by doing certain quests, or with a weather balloon. Revealing locations earns the player exploration points, which can be used to level-up companions.

A location can be explored when the group travels on or within 1 hex of it. Exploring a location yields different actions, and some locations have multiple possible actions or events. There are 9 main action categories for locations:

1. Loot items for trophies, treasure or supplies
2. Passage to another set location
3. Combat certain inhabiting enemies
4. Rest overnight to regain Sanity
5. Stash items to ship automatically to London
6. Trade items for barter
7. Heal wounds / ailments
8. Recruit new companions
9. Special effects unique to that location

It's possible to guess an unrevealed location's type by it's adjacent terrain.
