Alright, I wasn't able to find this searching, so here goes:

When facing the Shadow Nose, the bad stuff says: "You cannot flee; it automatically catches you. Lose 3 levels."

The Escape Goat steed says "When you fail to run away from a monster, you may discard the escape goat to transfer the effects of the bad stuff to a player of your choice."

I used the escape goat after I failed to beat the shadow nose, and my associates were of the opinion that since I "cannot flee" then I didn't "run away" and therefore couldn't "fail to run away". I feel that it is still running away according to how the game plays, and therefore failing to run away. Who is right?
