   Moving interrupts any active gathering or crafting action.
 
-  During combat, movement becomes a flee attempt. The mob continues
-  to attack during the movement countdown. If the mob lands a hit
-  before the countdown finishes, the escape fails ("Can't escape!")
-  and combat resumes. If no hit lands, the player successfully
-  escapes. See 'help combat' for details.
-
-  The "run_countdown" option shows tick-by-tick countdown messages
-  when fleeing combat.
+  During combat, movement becomes a flee attempt. Instead of moving
+  immediately, you must wait for the mob to miss an attack — only then
+  do you begin the normal 1-2 tick movement delay. If the mob lands a
+  hit while you are waiting to flee, the escape fails ("Can't escape!")
+  and you remain in combat. Successfully fleeing stops combat and moves
+  you to the target room.
+
+  Instant-move gear (Cape of Agility, GodMode) bypasses the miss-gate
+  and lets you leave immediately even in combat.
+
+  The "walk" command auto-attempts to escape combat when you walk
+  through a hostile room. If a walk step is hit while fleeing, the
+  entire walk sequence is cancelled. If the escape succeeds, the walk
+  continues from the next room.
 
   With "description" toggled on, moving shows the full room
   description instead of just the room name.
