By eating, smoking or otherwise taking in a portion of the land, the Garou can sense things that happened in the immediate vicinity in the past. For instance, a Garou can mix dandelions from a meadow into a salad which she eats; as a result, she realises that a group of hunters passed through the meadow three months ago. By chewing on the bark from a tree, the Garou can learn that a surveyor for a corporation measured the land around the tree as part of a planned site for a new factory, or that someone buried a body beneath the tree.
The player spends a point of Gnosis and rolls Perception + Empathy (difficulty 7). One success gives the character a piece of past information ('A group of men passed through here several weeks ago'). Additional successes either embellish the first piece of information ('The men wore security uniforms') or else provide new information about other events ('A battle took place here last year'). The information provided will be as pertinant as possible; the character actually learns the most important (to Garou standards) thing or things that happened within the area, most often information that the Garou can act on.
