[without any tech to look into, really, that leaves only one option for Ben, and in a sense it's doing something he's good at - tracking down shit. Only this time it's tracking down things that go bump in the night, which - okay, maybe it isn't the same but dammit he's going to think it is anyway. And while normally he doesn't have any interest in this folklore nonsense outside of the historical parts . . . look, he's bored. He does things when he's bored and his routines are thrown out of whack again.
So, he finds the place with all the hunters and decides to question them about what they know. It's a lot of jack, probably, but hey - they're fun to talk to, and any tips he can pick up on top of the "magic sticks" he got will help.
So you can find him here when he isn't out hunting, talking people up and eyeing the weird shit in the museum]
The Woods (hunting);
[so okay, he has the magic sticks, he has a weapon - cuz look, he isn't dumb - and now he's out here doing some weird mix of actual hunting and cryptid hunting. It's safe to say it's going about as well as you'd think . . . maybe a little better, he isn't completely hopeless.
If you happen into the same area he's lurking around in, you might here him talking to himself; going over the stuff he's been told, cursing when he hears something in the distance, or cursing at himself, for deciding to do this in the first place.
Just assume it's a lot of cursing]
F this (fishing);
[at one point or another, Ben gets fed up. Multiple times, actually, and when this happens he ends up going to find something to do that'll calm him down, and fishing is pretty great for that. He doesn't bother going out on a boat or anything, but you will find him sat on the bank of a stream or lake relaxing with a pole in hand. His dog Gent is always nearby, too, playing around in the grass or scaring the fish away and helping Ben "relax". Really]
