Unsure if your \glspl{npc} want to fight? Roll their Combat or Aggression Skill at \gls{tn} 6.

Most combats will end with one side or the other running away -- few troops want to fight to the last man when they could potentially be safe at home by the end of the day. At the start of each \gls{round}, the \gls{gm} rolls a morale check for the enemy if they think the enemy have a good reason to flee.
The players do not take morale checks -- they decide when it's time to run away by the look of the situation. Usually a good time is when all the \gls{fp} have run out.\footnote{The \glsentrytext{gm} may also wish to cut all Morale checks for any \glspl{npc} with remaining \glsentrytext{fp}.}

Morale checks are rolled at \gls{tn} 6 with a character's Combat Skill (or Aggression Skill if the character is an animal). As usual, the \gls{gm} rolls for an entire group with one roll. If the characters have just attacked a group of 10 hobgoblins and injured 3 then the troop will roll at \gls{tn} 6 to see if they should flee, but the injured 3 hobgoblins roll at \gls{tn} 8.
If the final result is a 7 then the three injured hobgoblins flee, but the rest remain.
