When Used

You hold up the parasol, and a sudden freak gust of wind sends you hurtling through the air to safety.

or

You hold up the parasol, and a leisurely gust of wind whisks you away to safety.

• The third free runaway per day generates the message:

You're starting to get kinda queasy from all of this flying.

• The sixth free runaway per day generates the message:

Okay, seriously, this flying is making you really queasy.

• The ninth free runaway per day generates the message:

Eurgh. At this point, you're officially airsick.

• After 10 cumulative successes (cumulative across all days), this message is generated:

Man. That last gust was more than your parasol could handle. You throw away the shredded (but delicious-smelling) wreck that was once a useful tool.

Notes

• Using this item grants a player a shot at a free runaway--an escape from combat without consuming an Adventure.
• On the 10th successful use, cumulative across all days, the item breaks. Until that use, the item is not consumed when used.
• The number of uses is reset upon ascension.
• This item cannot be untinkered.

Free Runaway Mechanic

• The first three times you run away per day, you have a 100% chance of a free runaway.
• The next three times (4th, 5th, and 6th), you have an 80% chance of a free runaway.
• The next three times (7th, 8th, and 9th), you have a 50% chance of a free runaway.
• The 10th+ times per day, you have a 20% chance of a free runaway.
• If you succeed at the free runaway, you will see the "sudden freak gust of wind" use message. If you fail, you will see the "leisurely gust" message.
• Only successful free runaways increment the counter.
• The runaway counter is shared with that of the navel ring of navel gazing and the Greatest American Pants, and resets daily.
