abscond |
Name
abscond - Allows you to sneak out of combat.
Syntax
abscond <direction>
abscond <direction> and hide
abscond <direction> and ambush
abscond <direction> and sneak {low|medium|high}
Description
With this command, you will attempt to beat a hasty and stealthy retreat from combat. Once you have set up, you will try to slip behind your opponent the next time you dodge and sneak out the specified exit. If you are successful, your opponent will not be able to tell which way you went.
An abscond can also be attempted after a successful feint. For this to work you must have queued both the feint and the abscond. If your opponent has been shoved or tripped to the ground, you may also attempt an abscond.
This command uses your relevant covert.stealth bonus to determine whether you are successful. Each attempt will cost you 40 covert points, plus the cost for the additional command if you want to go directly into hiding, sneaking or ambush.
Example
