Darkness, visibility and to hit penalties

Darkness is cast over a group of PCs.

It only covers their hexes (or perhaps one additional)

The opponent is not in Darkness and has no other vision penalties.

What is the penalty for the opponent to hit in with a melee weapon?

-4 once they identify the hex of one of the PCs? Even if it is the wrong PC?

-6 Because the PCs are effectively invisible?

Or -10 for total darkness?

What is the penalty for the PCs to hit out?

0?

If there is a high vision penalty outside the darkness is the to hit penalty the higher of this or the normal penalty? Eg vision penalty -9 trumps a -4 or -6?

Are the melee to hit rolls capped at 9?
