Default Main player escapes combat leaving helper

Due to recent changes to the rules, I wanted to confirm what happens when the turn player skips out on a combat using a teleport, leaving the Helper behind.

In this thread, it was ruled that the Helper must lose the combat, taking the hit and Running Away. However, the rules that led to this ruling have recently been rewritten and no longer seem to support this opinion.

The "Where'd Those Monsters Go" box on page 8 of the rules now states:
Quote:

The bolded part used to say "all the munchkins," which supported the old ruling, as the combat wouldn't end if the Helper remained. The new rules seem to tell us exactly what to do now when the main munchkin leaves before combat ends, though. Just discard the one-shots and leave the monsters and Helper in the room without requiring the Helper to take hits or Run Away.

So, may I please ask for a reruling on this situation, taking into account the new wording?

That thread is two years old. We revised the rules after that point. Therefore, that thread is now outdated.

Thanks, Andrew. Nice to get confirmation as I think that might be the most recent thread on the issue, and I hadn't noticed the difference in the rules until this morning.

I actually thought the online one was the same version as mine as the date on the Rules page matches the date of my printing (3rd), so I didn't even realise that there was any errata to check out.

Edit: Ah, I see it was also addressed in the what to include in the FAQ thread more recently than the older thread. I hadn't read through that one in a while.
