Withdrawing from Melee

Whenever a character retreats from melee, all adjacent non-Shaken and non-Stunned opponents get an immediate Free Attack.
Example: 

• Red is surrounded by five strange undead and must get to a wounded Gabe.
• She takes the Defend option (increasing her Parry by +4) and backs away.
• All five undead get a Free Attack, at +4 for Ganging Up.
• Fortunately, Red’s high Parry fends them off and she makes her way to her injured friend.
