You send out patrols to look for valuables.

Danger: 3
Loot: 5*

A dozen patrols head out. Eight return. Of those that return, many are injured. The beasts of the wastes do not appreciate intruders.
However, they do return with a respectable quantity of loot. The hides (and other miscellaneous parts) of many exotic beasts, and goods from ruined towns and villages that the beasts were occupying.

A giant snake attacks the camp!

It causes a fair number of casualties before being struck down. It seems there can be no rest in these blasted lands. What now?

A-South!
B-East!
C-West!
D-North.

[Tiruin]

Yeaaaa let's do this later when we get better infantry and NOT deadly neighbors (and that one dude in the bandit'y west)

D
Goodness that's a "3". Wiped out 4 patrols, injured many more.

[Felissan]

D
Getting some recon done and having some neat stuff for merchants to get crazy over sounds like a success to me.

[omada]

D the merchants left in fear, now they shall come back to be the first to get hands in the "exotic stuff"

Hey, grass growing back there. What kind of weird plant it shall grow later?

[NUKE9.13]

Just a short campaign, then.

On your way back north, a swarm of giant beetles attacks you.

1

Beware their deadly venom! The creatures are driven off, but not before spitting poison all over hundreds of soldiers. Within a few hours many of them are dead.

You make camp in another clearing. The wasteland here seems positively hospitable compared to further south. Shall we continue on home, or do we have business here?

A-Let's go home. I don't like this place.
B-Maybe we can find some valuables here as well?
C-Claim these lands in the name of Queen Erin.

[omada]

B this way we know better the near south, then claim.

[Playergamer]

A. We've lost far too many troops to stick around any longer. Let's go.

[Kashyyk]

Hopefully this area is less dangerous,  so looting should Be safe.

Danger: 5*
Loot: 3*

Well. There are a few bits and pieces to be scavenged from ruins, but nothing particularly valuable.

Well. Do we want to put in the effort required to claim these lands, or are we done here?

A-Moar land plz.
B-Nah, it's worthless.

A People love living in a barely habitable wasteland with crazy mutants for company right?

I see no downside

[omada]

Worst case scenario the settlement here will be a meatshield of, anything, wishing to leave these lands into ours.

It's good to keep a ton of eyes closer to the wastelands and learning it's "properties"

A What kind of food will grow here? Surely it will be delicious.

B okay, bad idea, let's wait stuff get better here. We should still later at least build an watchtower, and garrison it with soldiers that can draw or do detailed reports so we can be prepared to loot, hunt or pray for the gods and cry calling our mom protect ourselves in case something is coming.

[Chiefwaffles]

B Probable scenario is we have to waste money and resources building up this place and defending it for nothing other than to say "I have additional land".  It's full of monsters, the land is just barely farmable, and there's no real benefit to actually have people inhabiting place. If they did, we'd either have to defend them from the extremely hostile land or suffer consequences from their dislike of being killed.
