I’m probably wrong, but don’t you spend stress via adding it to use your ability? So basically you proc allure, you add one level of stress. If/when you hit max stress you go feral. Just as well you accumulate stress for following your dark impulses but get dark hearts for doing so (though I don’t remember what dark hearts do).

Some people need to make a hard choice when deciding which two karaoke streams they want to listen to. I have no such weakness: I have two ears for a reason.

The hard part about trying to play some politically savvy mastermind is the assumption that the world operates off real world politics and not your DM’s politics.

Don't put too much stock in prophesies. At best they're full of shit, but more often than not they're one of those self-fullilling kinds. Plan for what happens afterwards instead.

A character isn't deep or compelling just because you let them get hurt a lot, are always depressed, or do morally questionable things.

Bio
If you're here either you're wondering what I'm doing cause I need to post in your RP (In which case, calm yo tits, I'll get around to it), or you want to know who I am. So let's begin.
I'm a college age asian kid who has more heart than he has senses. I'm still working out this whole "adulthood" thing, so until then I just do what I feel I must. As far as personality and traits go, I'm not one for boasting. So if there's anything redeeming about myself you'd have to figure it out in person or by word-of-mouth. Generally however I'm rather perverted, in the best and worst ways. nothing is too much until I've crossed the line, and that just means I've started.
As far as Roleplays I like, I have a thing for fantasy, though I'm also good for some types of sci-fi, supernatural, Modern, and slice-of-life. If it's open and sandbox, I'll probably join it. Never really been a romantic, I often chose to sexualize any notion of romantic encounters I come across. I generally write at Casual quality, though I have no issues with Free-Level Rp/Players and I can hold my own in Advance.

Yeah your banter skill will only be good for dealing with other monster/dark races. And maybe whatever Light race that would know the language of dark races, if that’s a thing. At best you could try a sort of nonverbal seduction/trickery but obviously this is easier said than done.
Perhaps see if you can tweak your allure racial ability to allow you to communicate with targets who would be attracted to you? If they get the horny seeing your body, that would proc your allure and let you communicate with them since they’re obviously a bit too randy to think how weird it is for you to be able to speak their language.

Yeah what Mae said. Darc could probably try and fling and consume one humanoidish target, but if he tries to spread himself too thin to hit more he’ll just be a big easy target to get skewered. What he does have is a net, but even that would only be big enough to wrangle one target. If it was bigger he could trap more.
The best bet if he were to try and take them all out would again, lead them to a perilous location. Either somewhere near a cliff drop or one where Darc could attack from above. With his sticky body and ability to consume inorganic materials he could potentially cause a localized landslide, but that could also potentially get himself and others killed or at least hurt. If he had minions to take that risk he’d do that, but atm he’s effectively solo unless someone else wants to risk their lives instead.
Leading them to a trap is a viable option for either trickery or ambush though.

Atm, while I prefer trickery for information, the problem is communicating. If there’s a tier 1 spell which can proxy Tongues, then we can resume the Trickery raid. But if there isn’t then an ambush raid would be most beneficial.
Given his natural traits, Darc would prefer to post the ambush near a cliff or somewhere with hazardous terrain. His sticky body would allow him to easily stick to cliffs and walls, and he can use the natural long reach of his innate weapons to grab foes and fling them to their doom.

Is magic something any of us can do? Near as I can tell none of us have abilities that specifically mention us being able to speak the Light tongue.
Following on that since none of us can naturally speak the light tongue, we’re going to need to go for a Wounded Gazelle gambit. Trick the mortals into thinking an innocent is being attacked so we can ambush them. Not like we’re going to get any Information from questioning them (because none of us know the light language).

@VeyrinDay I think because there were two votes for strong hold, and then you implied you’d vote for forge, that Dark Cloud is going to be a tie breaker.
If it matters whatever dungeon we attack could possibly be one or the other. As Mae said it’ll be a Dwarven ruin of sorts which I imagine could easily be both a fortress or a forge. So it’s really just a matter of do we want to refurbish the interior to spit fire and be full of skinny metal bits or line the walls with stone, metal, and the corpses of our enemies.

I like this plan. Is there any way Darc can skulk so he can be hidden from the dwarves and then scan them for their belongings, numbers, or anything that might be useful? For example if they wear any emblems that signify they’re part of a bigger organization or army. He’ll also be in position in case something goes wrong and he can leap right into action to take out some dwarves by surprises
Eh, metagaming is always a hard thing to balance. Too specific and yeah, people read your post and their future actions are influenced by what they know. Too vague and they may later get angry about how you're making things too confusing and vague.
That being said, you can at least act upon OoC of your own character. While I know everyone else has a different idea for what the dungeon should be, Darc only knows what he wants a Forge. So he told everyone he wants a forge and tries to sell the idea. He's currently annoyed that no one really seems to be offering a counter idea and so far Zaz'ak is the only one who rebukes it, and atm Darc is waiting to hear the rebuttable. And while I know that you initially choose a temple, IC Darc knows that Baganaria is holding her opinion to be a potential tie breaker, which isn't much of a problem for him. He expects others to have differing opinions which is why he's trying to sell the idea in the first place, even though I myself know that you all choose something I didn't.
Even now he'll still try to vote for the forge until everyone casts a vote verbally, and OoC I'm totally ready to work towards a stronghold if that's what we choose IC. Ya basically just gotta adapt back and forth which is also why I just make Darc matter very blunt and straight forward to just drive the point onwards instead of going around in circles.

From my understanding we're getting a stronghold because that's what Poohead choose when we were still a 4-way split. I'm not against a stronghold myself but as you mentioned @VeyrinDay we're mostly waiting for someone to actually speak up any alternatives.
OoC the vote's for the Stronghold. IC Darc is the only one who proposed a dungeon choice and he choose Forge.
