Ok Skulk is same effect as Darc, you're in a strong position from the rain and the effect is regular. 6 highest is a success! You can narrate that as you see fit IC, and the lantern is no problem for you since you are so smol and the drunk dwarf is facing a wall.
Sneaking into the corridor you skulk along the finally carved limestone walls. You manage to enter a larger square chamber, with five Lightfolk sitting around drinking booze and eating recently cooked game. A cheerful halfling woman, a human woman with long raven-black hair, an elderly dwarf and a sunken-face human man sit around enjoying each others company. There are backpacks and pelts and even a tent set up in the corner. They all seem to be wearing similar garb, apart from the elderly dwarf who's clothes are a darker leather.
You can see the old stone structure continues onwards into another area, though what you glimpsed down that corridor makes you think some of the architecture may have caved in from time.
So the trick is a mixed success, you can narrate the success part as you like. It's a strong effect so they will all follow you out this building, however you stumble in the muddy ground at the last moment when you almost reach the group and they are (drunkenly) stumbling after you as you all slip around in the mud and rain. This will put you in a weak position next roll, if things go badly they could catch you.
Compell: I'm going to give you the option to
Give into your dark impulse of cowardice here. you can choose to take the compell or not, if you decide to go through with it, gain a dark heart. Offer: Zaz'ac is afraid of the people on his tail catching up to him and he will flee away from them, not willing to help if theres an upcoming fight until he calms down. Your choice if you want to do that or not.
@VeyrinDay congratulations on the very first critical success of the game from your Allure resistant roll!
So your allure is a mixed success, so you can narrate the successful part as you see fit/pick your target as you like. Your victim is lurching over to you, but the complication is the rain is picking up as lighting cracks across the sky. It's now storming, making the situation from here on out more difficult.
Reminder: you can use your Dark Hearts to gain 1d on a roll (everyone starts with 1 dark heart banked already) and Defenses once per phase to protect you from a failure.
@Kenshi You're up next based on the plan,
though
@Dark Cloud and
@VeyrinDay may want to react to the information they got or get clarification
