[HOE] Running from a fight

[Theo McGuckin <tsm@jlab.org>]

How do you guys handle someone trying to run from a HtH fight? If
someone's losing and they have a 10 and their opponent has an 8, what
happens if they turn tail and run? Free hacks? A dodge roll to get away?

One thought I (just) had is that the runner has to make some type of skill
roll to escape. They could bluff (the old look over the guy's shoulder and
grin like he's about to be hit from behind), or persuassion (fall to the
ground crying like a little school girl), or simply dodge (a fast sprint
away). Whatever they do they spend an action doing it. But what happens if
it works? Do they get a head start and it comes down to pace? I guess it
could be success based. One success and they get clear, but the guy can
chase after them. Two successes and the guy can't go after him until next
round (or he can just attack someone else). Three+ successes and the guy
can't go after him until the situation changes (the runner attacks the
guy for example).

Does this seem fair?
