San Amigos
Not feeling up to taking on any of the Three Storms, you turn and dash down the alley, back the way you came. The Storms are in hot pursuit for several minutes, and it takes all your effort to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge your way to freedom. Long after you've lost them, you still can't shake the feeling you're being followed. You get an effect: Big Trouble. (Added for (60+Turn Length) minutes.)
