Benjamin Villein has friends; friends who watch and wait and lure. Friends who will warn you of an ambush.

Game Instructions: This increases your Elusive to 300, but prevents you attacking with an Ambush - you can only defend on Elusive. An Elusive of 300 does not entirely guarantee victory against an ambush, but it gives you around an 80% chance.

Unlocked with 60 x Foxfire Candle Stub, Sponsored in the Game of Knife-and-Candle - Benjamin Villein, of the Ministry of Public Decency
