I guess evade just lowers you on the hatelist, but doesn't remove you. Then
again, skellies aggro on pretty much everyone as long as they are close.
Perhaps in this situation, you should resort to taunting her (not the
skill, just talking trash) and hope that she is so distracted by that it
gives you enough time for the immobilize to wear off. Role playing opens up
a lot of different possibilities. Or you could go the pity approach if one
of the high level Kithicor denizens is nearby and get something big to
attack you, requiring her to save you so you can possibly run away.
You have nothing to lose in trying. :-)
