==Notes==
*This item has a 50% chance of success (as of NS13), in which case combat is ended as if it had never occurred -- an adventure is not used, and all effect and buff counters remain unaffected. However, a few special counters in the game will still advance.
*When used, combat ends in a [[Run Away#Escape modifiers|free runaway]]. Free runaways do not take a turn, but they do advance [[Delay]] counters.
**The [[O Cap'm, My Cap'm]] adventure counter advances
**Familiar usage is incremented at the beginning of combat, so using one of these will not save your 100% run.
**The [[Semi-rares|semi-rare]] counter does not. But, if you use a tattered scrap of paper on a semi-rare combat, you cannot go elsewhere to get another semi-rare adventure.
