He has given up on reaching his objective; not on life itself.

IMG, most combats are not to the death. I'm obviously not as bloodthirsty a Narrator as you lot...
>Are you running this as an unrelated action to escape?
And with 'this' i suppose you mean attempts to escape from Certain Death? Yes, i resolve it as an unrelated action (simple contest).

Only if it also means 'new contest'. Never change objectives within the same contest. Leads to all kinds of weirdness.

If the winning attacker don't want loser to escape, he can resist the attempt to escape.

IMHW, 0 AP doesn't generally mean 'helpless'. Hence not too late.

Yes, it's intended for attempts to avoid gratuitous killing.
