Strange horror behaviour (likely bug)

I think the horror mark lvl decreases (but not disappear) upon death nowdays, meaning your god is less likely to get attacked when he is called back.

This helps somewhat, yet unfortunately the attacking horrors have one or more astral claws which will add a horror mark level for every strike. The pretenders with lots of hitpoints will usually return with more horror marks as a result and even more likely to be attacked.

Unless I misunderstand the astral claw attack?
