And between an ambush round, bad initiative, and some bad attack rolls from the PC's, an encounter can turn sour quickly. If you don't want a TPK, but see it coming, perhaps the ambushers might decide to subdue the PC's and interrogate them for information. This might give them a chance to escape later.As for running away, typically it's just a matter of turning around and running away. If the enemies decide to give chase, you could turn it into a skill challenge. Or it's possible the enemies aren't doing too hot either, or they have a place to protect and they don't give chase.</blockquote>
