If the players have time to keep searching, then when they say "we search everywhere", just tell them "it takes an hour, but you find...". If they're trying to sneak around while searching, get them to roll once for how well they search, and use that to decide how long it'll take them and therefore how many stealth rolls they need (longer time, more rolls, more chance to be found). | |
