Investigate actions will get you information about the target - who they are, where they're staying, the places they go, the people they talk to...consider yourself the private dick and the target is your mark. You're watching your target. You will not confront your Target (unless your Target is successfully Hunting you. Heh). Here are examples of what kind of specific information you might get: the types of downtime actions another character took; where a character's Domus is; who a character's Affections are; the layout and floor plan of a building; who knows specific information (if you Investigate an event, you'll find out who knows about that event and what they know); what that specific information is...that kind of stuff.
Hunt actions will allow you to find and confront your target. This is pretty straightforward. There are rules in the BRB about how the Storyguide can handle downtime combat, however, it is heavily stressed that confrontations should be handled in person. Hunt actions will not get you any information other than where the target is when you find him/her.
Patrol actions allow you to *interrupt* another action and force a confrontation. The same guidelines apply to the confrontation as above.
