While the dome is active you have an innate knowledge of all things within it, knowing the general location of objects, how many objects are inside, and the creatures present within the dome. However, if a creature is invisible, underground, or trying to hide from you, it has disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks to remain concealed and attempt to hide.
