A logical move with two benefits.
I think the key to survival is to travel light and fast so the moped can stay behind with the vase.
Once again, logical. You made a good decision here.
I would run in the direction of the stream and run through it downstream, although I would ensure a footprint was left in the mud pointing upstream. My thinking here is that going upstream will lead back into the hills and downstream is always to civilisation and that no trail would be left behind me. I would avoid all the local points of interest as these are going to be obvious
choices for the killer to pick up a lost trail.
A very good use of knowledge. You through the killer off track and made a smart decision to head towards civilization. You picked up Logic and perception points here. However, if the stream has no bends in it there is always the chance you will be seen.
Should the stream meet the road, extreme caution would be used, using all available cover. At no point would I attempt to stop a car because, if the killer has people he could contact and a car available, there is no guarantee they wont have a connection. Avoid all contact with people and keep on running. Eventually, I would come to civilisation and hope he hasnt caught up with me
Nothing I haven't said before. A logical move which would have been beneficial to you.
If he believes the vase is precious then hopefully he would have found it and gone home(doubtful) but if he has to carry it he would be slowed. Also, no matter how good a tracker and speedy, hes carrying alot of equipment (weight) and would have to cover alot of ground to ensure I never deviate from my track. My straight line speed should easily outpace his.
You garnered perception and logical points here. The dumping of the vase was a both a clever bid for mercy and a strategic move to hinder your tracker. You thought about his situation and made a smart move based on it.

Your aim was simple and you didn't waste too much time going for it. Your plan wasn't too elaborate and so there were less things that might fail. It wasn't very creative but was logical and you clearly thought about the landscape. A very well done piece.
Creativity: 3
Logic: 4
Perception: 4
Total mark: 11 It was a very good piece and you should not worry too much about the mark. The main reason you faltered was you weren't very creative in your moves. It's a difficult thing to balance logic and creativity but I felt it could have been done better. A bit more detail would have been useful as well.
Now, as for your fate.
You waste no time in dumping the vase and running. You give the tracker no extra time to gain lots of ground on you and you run straight to the river, leave several footprints going up stream then step into the water and wade like crazy to get away.
The killer, five minutes behind, follows your tracks and finds the vase, which he picks up and stores in his already quite full backpack. To fit it in, he has to sacrifice one of two small knives on the ground. After spending time making sure the vase is safe and not going to break he follows again, looking at the river. He sees the tracks going up stream and follows at pace by the side of the river.
You keep heading down the stream, being very wary not to be seen. You keep low and use the direction of the water to help your speed. You spend a long time going through the water but eventually you see lights ahead and run towards them.
The killer, meanwhile, has his wife waiting by the side of the road and is searching the quarry, trying to find you. Due to his wife being out in the car, you are lucky in that when you passed his house which would have been built near the stream, there is nobody there.
You eventually reach a small town and find a phone. You call a friend for help and they come and pick you up. The killer, now with the vase, calls off the search and returns home.
You survive.
