What it means is *in this situation* the guy does not get a chance to declare an action in the context of the contest (be it running away, making a last-gasp curse, or healing himself). he has been defeated and is not being given an opportunity to perform a Final action.

Fine, whatever. You play your game, I'll play mine.
As a narrator I might allow a character to plead for mercy, initiating a new contest. I would not allow him to start a contest to run away.
