SCOUT AHEAD

Move

When you go off on your own into a dangerous place, the GM can have you Scout Ahead. If they do, say how you do it and roll +STAT (per Defy Danger). On a 7+, you make it back and the GM says where you got to and what you learned. Then, on a 10+: also pick 2; on a 7-9, also pick 1:

You got away clean, rousing no suspicion or alarm
You set something up to exploit upon your return
Ask a Seek Insight question about what you saw

On a 6-, you either make it back to the others with trouble in tow, or you're missing in action (your call).

Of course, if any PC can Scout Ahead then Burgle is worthless. If there was a Fox in the group, I'd also change Burgle to something like this:
