Scout description

The Diffident Bat has limited range, returns after finding one discovery, and conveys little information about what it finds.

This Scout like other scouts helps you to pinpoint the exact location of ports and discoveries and spectacles without seeing them at the cost of your supply reserve.

"Its opinion is clear. It? Go out there? In this weather? Thank you, but no."

Obtaining

The Diffident Bat is obtained from an event at the beginning of the game.

If somehow lost or not currently being in you hold, the Diffident Bat can be purchased from Mr. Menagerie for one Otherworldly Artefact and one Vison of the Heavens.

Scouting Success

Scouting Failure

After much flattery, your bat admits to having found something. Reluctantly, your bat confesses to having found something. You bribe your bat with moths until it tells you what it discovered. You prod your bat. It grudgingly admits finding something. Your bat returns in a huff and spends ten minutes complaining about what it found. Your bat returns in what you can only describe as 'a right mood'. It must have found something.

Your bat is gleeful. There was nothing to be found. Your bat is pleased to announce it has found absolutely nothing. Your bat is relieved. It found nothing.
