 Monsters with the [[Amulet of Yendor]] won't follow across even if they would otherwise, and fleeing monsters will not follow, unless you're carrying the Amulet. (Monsters you scared with [[Elbereth]] will [[flee]] for a while.) Pets, angry shopkeepers, and the Wizard will follow even if they are fleeing.
