That's a very good guestion. I suppose they would not be concidered worthy of killing then. If it was a particularily nasty foe, and the humakti was powerful enough, it could be time for the Swordbreaker curse.
Since the fight (and challenge) was to be in the name of Humakt, it would be possible to try to curse the coward that fled.
But for the most part, I think running away would work just fine.
