Sometimes it is not even your own fuckup- I seem to have a vampiric/mage enemy
who has hounded me through three runs, and may have actually caught me. Now i
have no choice but to use myself as bait to find and kill the bastard.
Problem- I am a samurai. 6 will only goes so far. Where to hide my astral
