Running Away

Jorvik · 12-31-2008, 03:35 PM

Quick question about running away. I know if you lose or tie the battle you automatically take a hit and then attempt to run away. Now if you know stright from the begining that you have no chance of winning, and run stright away, do you still lose a hit point if you miss the bad stuff or does that happen only if you engage the monster.

Thanks

The manual doesn't cover running away before combat, so assume it is not allowed. You can only run-away after losing in a combat. There are some DxM/Treasure cards that let you escape before combat though - in this situation, you would not lose a hit point.

You're in the combat no matter what, you don't get a choice to start it (unless something specifically says so of course).

This is a common misconception. You still have a fight in the card game, it only feels like you can run away before the fight because there's no penalty for losing.

We just added a damage point for losing to the process.
