I would rule likewise, but I'd narrate it quite differently. You have her stopping?!? She's improvising a "Stand on Top of a Tree, Take Aim and Throw a Javelin" feat from "Run on Treetops"?!? A -20 modifier *at least*. I'd suggest that she *doesn't* stop running (and therefore doesn't need to keep checking her "Run on Treetops" feat). However, she'd have a negative modifier for hurling the javelin on the run... If she were using a "Fly" feat, you wouldn't rule that she stopped flying to throw the javelins, would you?

Did the broo have "Run" skills? What were they using to try to catch him?

I'd certainly allow him to resist the broo with that. He doesn't need to be *fast* to escape them, just mobile. Assuming help is at hand, of course.

No, he can use it to *resist* the broos' goal.
