> Everyone's first instinct is to flee, but this is an incorrect instinct for many classes. If you can word, the command you should type should be c 'word'.

> flee/word or flee/tele has two serious disadvantages, one general, and one applicable in this specific case.

> 1) Flee can fail--you can PANIC! and that might cost you the only command you can get in between bashes/trips, and thus cost you your life.

> 2) Fighting a warrior, flee means he gets an extra parting blow, potentially a deathblow. If, say, you'd parried that last MANGLE, his parting blow would likely have killed you when the flee went through.
