Sounds like somebody ran into his first Great Lynx. There's some exceptionally powerful random encounters that are meant to be a big gamble between fighting and running. When I first ran into a Great Lynx I managed to beat it, but not without losing two party members in the process. There's no shame in running in Etrian Odyssey. It sure is satisfying when you come back when you're stronger and mop the floor with the enemies that gave you such a hard time back then though.
