If using a clock it maps to 3 ticks.A 5 result means: You hesitate - withdraw and try a different approach or else do it with a minor consequence: a minor complication, or reduced effect, or suffer lesser harm, or you end up in a risky position.Our situation is in a walk-in type closet off a hallway where a lackey is collecting something and struggling to unhook his lantern. Our action declarations were:and So... as the lurk and hound grab the unlucky lackey his lantern slips from it's hook with a loud crash and rolls out, still glowing brightly, into the corridor. "The new girl?" whispers the lackey, eyes wide in fear at the sight of the knife. "Sure, I know. She's in one of the holding rooms - they're down below. But you'll need a key..."Two gang member step out of a doorway several yards away and look down the hallway at the lamp as it rolls to a halt against the wall opposite the closet. "What the..." one says, hand on his blade. "Where's that useless Scarecrow?" mutters the other, stepping forward a couple of paces.Mechanically, knowing roughly where the target is located, and that it's locked, has added three ticks to the 'Find Her' clock, but the focus on our heroes' point of entry just moved the situation to risky. Is this situation risky? It feels risky to me, but not desperate.That would be one way of doing it. Of course, there are countless possibilities, that's just what came to mind as I typed!I wonder how it went down?</blockquote>
