Well, tonight at my #BasicFantasyRPG table the thief learned that when you are standing in front of a creature with MULTIPLE attacks, it's a MUCH better idea to run away and take 1 attack, instead of standing there and making yourself open to a potential 4 attacks—which altogether do 5d8 damage.

If I weren't playing -10 hp he'd be WAY dead. As it was, he was REALLY close, and if the other party members hadn't engaged the thing he wouldn't have lived to fight another day. #DoNotMessWithOwlBears
