Retaliation

Monster retaliation denoted by the thinking text, is the opponents turn to get even for the damage you just inflicted. The map will fade out and the monsters will each take a turn in trying to defeat the members of your mercenary band. Some of the monsters are quite stupid and easily avoided if you planned for it during your turn.

Retreating

If you feel that the losses will be too much for your finances to bear if you continue the mission, or if you have already completed the primary objective of the mission, you hay elect to retreat. This can be done at any time during your turn while you do not have a character selected. Either press escape, select the retreat button with the arrow keys and then press enter, or simply click on the retreat button with the mouse. A scroll will appear asking you if you are sure. Press enter to confirm or escape to go back to playing the mission.

Either press escape, select the mission button with the arrow keys and then press enter, or simply click on the mission button with the mouse.

This status report will also tell you what your upkeep will be for this round and list any items you may have picked up on this campaign.
