These are non-retroactive rulings, so if you've been in cases where they
would have applied but you didn't know about them, don't worry, unless you've
already been told (or get told) that they do apply after all.
1) re Frustrated Flight: if your Flight in Horror is frustrated --- by being
backed into a corner or whatever --- you gain 1 point of Insanity for each
minute that you are in Flight but are unable to Flee.
2) re cumulative Flight: if you encounter two things at once that each cause
Fleeing in Horror (ie Creature A and Creature B where A and B are different
types (headbands) of creature), the times-of-Flight are cumulative. If you
have 10 Stability and simultaneously encounter a level 15 Horror and a level
13 Horror, Flee for (15 - 10) + (13 - 10) = 8 minutes. If your Stability was
14, you'd only Flee for one minute.
