Run Away
From TheKolWiki
[ Return to Game Mechanics ]
During every combat adventure you have the option to run away. If successful, you will escape the fight. The penalty, however, is that you receive no stats, loot or Meat from that adventure unless you employ some trickery or a whirlwind. Failing to escape will give the enemy a free chance to attack, and you will not be able to perform any other actions that round. Furthermore, familiars will not be able to attack or otherwise act.
The chances of running away is
(Monster Initiative - Player Initiative)
- Successful attempt to run away:
You run away, like a sissy little coward.
- Failed attempt to run away:
You attempt to run away like a sissy little coward, but you don't quite make it.
As you run out the door of the Haunted Kitchen, a butcherknife flies out of the drawer and sticks in the doorjamb next to you. You grab it as you flee.
