run
This command attempts to escape from a hazardous battle in the dungeon or countryside. Upon escaping, you will move through a random exit, or whichever is not blocked by monsters. Running from difficult monsters is a good practice, as long as you don't make it a habit to venture often into the uncharted wilderness until you raise your levels high enough to win most battles successfully. You cannot run when fighting a major boss enemy.
