Ok, but that wasn't my point - just explaining why he left, both movie and book wise, not on the possible outcome of the fight.

And the way the orcs ran away in movie FOTR in Moria was irritating......In the book they "parted" to let the balrog through, I don't believe they ran away.

I can read "crowded away, as if they themselves were afraid" as running. It is a moot point really, and I don't think anyone would lose any sleep over it to be honest!
