Ending a battle

[Test]

Does anyone know how to run away from an encounter. I saved a game midway through a fight, and I am wondering if I can just chicken out and terminate the engagement.

Any suggestions?

you can only run away if u know of an exit to the level you are having the battle on. you cannot run away from random encounters on the overland map.

the funny thing is i saw a run option somewhere, but i couldnt get it to do anything...

Oh and you are really screwed if you are "batteling" some opponents in another room accidently... that can suck cause you have to reload

There is a flee from combat option in the movement menu, but I've never used it. Maybe you have to be far enough away, or faster than the thingie attacking you or something. Try getting far away first.

I cannot flee combat at emeridy meadows, I wonder if there is some other prerequisite for fleeing or if it is only specific areas.
