Dark Alleys
Shadows seem to cling to every corner, eyes stare from behind hidden barriers, innocents scurry away from the light—petty crime is the method of survival here, and anyone unable to adapt or blend in will suffer for it. The party needs to traverse this area of the city in order to reach their destination but it seems that no matter where they turn that eyes are watching them from the shadows, equal parts inquisitive and fearful.
- A group check is needed to make it through this district. The adventurers may each use any reasonable ability check. Examples include Deception to use simple disguises and body language to pass as tough locals, Intimidation to give off a demeanor threatening enough to get others to mind their own business, or Stealth to move from shadow to shadow.
Potential Outcomes
Critical Failure: The adventurers are hassled by a guard squad , a gang of 6 criminals ( bandits or thugs depending on the locale) confront the party, or their identities and location are leaked to their enemies.
Failure: Between youthful pickpockets, brazen brutes, and charming passersby each of the adventurers has their coin purses lightened, losing half of their gold (maximum 100 gold).
Success: The adventurers pass themselves off as if they belong and travel through unhindered.
Critical Success: Roll on the Boons and Discoveries table. Alternatively, the adventurers acquire a reliable connection to a local NPC.
