I type flee and it says "they are not here" why do I get that return line?

It looks to me like you'd stacked up some commands that were targetted, and the final one to be processed in the log snippet was flee, which failed.

If you are blinded and flee tries to target an exit such as gate/entrance/door it will give that message also.
Some doors you can enter while blind, some you can't.
