===[[Retreating]]=== If you feel the need to run from battle, there is a small square button with an X in the top left corner of the screen that will give you a chance to flee from combat. However, retreating from combat will inflict heavy stress on your heroes. Furthermore sometimes you can fail a retreat or an afflicted hero will stop you from retreating. In order to gain guarantee successful retreats, the player has to turn off a setting responsible for a retreat fail in the [[Pause Menu]], but this will result in an [[Achievements|achievement]] "Strict Mode" being unobtainable. Outside of combat, the same X button can be used to abandon an incomplete quest and return to the Hamlet. You lose out on completion rewards and your heroes will suffer the stress of defeat. However, a stressed hero is better than a dead hero; do not be afraid to retreat when things begin to go awry.
