Right. So I think it would make sense if my character was new to the game. He might have some street smarts being a gambler, but is likely not to have many survival skills and is definitely broke from his recent losses. Whatever politician threw him into the game might have given him enough money to get something with which he can defend himself, but not a whole lot more. It is definitely possible that he is one of those "easy" targets.

If all the players knew this, I could see one or two more opportunistic hunters deciding to use Blair as bait. Instead of hunting Blair, they set traps for the hunters that seek him out instead. Perhaps your character falls victim to one of those traps but Blair inadvertently manages to save you?
