Character
Samurai
Alignment: NEUTRAL. Start: VILLAGE.
Special Abilities
1: Instead of moving, you may fire your bow at a Character or face up Enemy card up to 3 spaces away in the same Region (not the Inner Region). The shot is resolved as Combat. If you lose, the shot missed. If you win, an Enemy is discarded (you cannot keep it towards Strength) or, if a Character, they must lose a Life.
2: You may use Karate when you attack (but not when you are attacked by) a Character. When you do so, you use your Craft against their Strength in Combat. If you win, the victim is Stunned and can cast no Spells until they have missed their next Turn. You may take no other reward.
Events
Curfew

The military impose a curfew. All 'Place' Adventure Cards are closed for three Turns and cannot be visited by anyone landing on them or drawing one during that period. They still count as one of the Adventure cards for the space.
Closed Shop
Event.
Business is bad. All face up 'Stranger' Adventure Cards decide to move on to the discard pile.
