The moonlight shines upon your bounty, he stands upright looking silently at you, an aura of hatred clogs the air. After a minute of silence, he speaks.
"Finally found me didn't you? Look, I've been caught in the open like this more times than I care to count, here's how this is gonna go. You're gonna put your weapon down, and I'm gonna-"
He breaks into a sprint and runs east.
How would your character handle this?

Shoot him. He's worth more alive, sure, but he's worth enough dead.
>>55432375
You're not coming back dead.
You're not coming back alive.
I prepare the Lich Other ritual vessel, and pursue at a walk. A slow, inevitable, patient walk.
>>55432375
well if the abbot has requested that I catch him.
It is the will of god, and I can not fail.
I cast "Abjure Enemy" then,
I chase and attempt to tackle him.

How is this not way better than whatever shite Hero's Journey you had planned?
Shoot him in the back of the leg.
"Oh... silly lad. Sorry about this, don't hold it against me now. Please stop kicking me with your good leg".

I rear back my head, heavy with anguish, and howl into the night!
>Who is this man?
>What sort of devil is he!?
>To have caught me in a trap
>And choose to let me go free?
>>55432375
>'Shit shit shit why do I always let them monologue'
He quick draws his caster and takes the shot. Thunderstone, non-lethal, with magnetic casing for extra tracking. If it's not enough to knock him out cold, it'll stop him moving so quickly, at least.

Shoot to wound and follow the blood trail at a steady lope. Every time i catch up to him put another arrow in him. If he wants to run I'll make him keep running till he drops. To a gnolls nose blood is like burning pitch and I'm a ranger to boot, unless he's really really clever he's not going to shake me. When he's finally worn out and stands to fight I'll just clobber him with a log and drag him back in chains. Collect bounty and go to the tavern to feast with my dire honey badger companion. Lazy around with a full belly livin the good life till another bounty comes along or till the money starts running out.
