You gotta learn the DM’s body language. My DM often stands and gets this look on his face, and says “Interesting, yeah, okay. You do that then…”

Maybe we’re reading too much into it, but that gets us very worried.

Thinking about from a DM’s perspective he’s probably thinking, “Umm, okay, they want to do this useless digging and detecting thing. Good then. Less to prepare for next week. I can use this cool stuff next week. More time for me with the wife then… :-) “
