There seemed to be the suggestion that the outlaw will be killed outright by his clan. I find this extremely unlikely.

Even though he/she's technically and legally no longer a relative, killing a relative is still the greatest inexcusable crime for the Heortlings. Not only that, but red handed slaughter is much harder psychologically than many roleplayers seem to think.

If the accused is an unrepentant chaos cultist, then the chief may ask for a humakti to follow the outlaw and slay him/her, but this will not happen in front of the chiefs hall.

Usually the clan will have mixed feelings and much sadness (something happened to cause the outlawry too remember), and will just want to forget all about the outlaw. Outside the clans lands, he/she will be somebody else's problem.
