The Chase
The players and the threat each has a countdown as per the instructions under the Escape Countdown sections.
If, at any point, the threats countdown is the same as the players countdown, that player takes one damage per turn.
If, at any point, the threats countdown is less than a players countdown, then that player has been "caught".
As the DM, decide what the repurcussions of this is. If it is a physical threat such as a creature or enemies, any players who have been caught, may need to fight their way out, or have been captured and the remaining players may need to rescue them (or they could try to escape themselves)
If it is a non-physical threat, this could simply be additional damage per turn, or have some other form of suitable consequence.
Actions

Escape Countdown - Players

Critical Success: You spot something in the distance that indicates the way forward Take 3 from the countdown and add 1 to the threats countdown.
Success with Hope: You are sure that you are on the right track and manage to succesfully evade obstacles - Take 2 from your personal countdown.
Success with Fear: You believe you are going the correct way to escape, you can still hear or sense the threat behind you - Take 1 from your personal countdown.
Failure with Hope: While you do not make any progress, you manage to gain your bearings.
Failure with Fear: Unfortunately, you made a mistake and manage to lose some progress - Add one to the countdown and take one stress.Upon reaching 0, the player is free.

Chase Countdown - Threat
The threats chase countdown starts at 20.
Each time it is your turn, roll a D20. If the result is below the difficulty, do not advance the countdown. If the result is a success, reduce the countdown by 1, and if you roll a 20, reduce the countdown by 2.
Reactions

Help an ally
On a players escape roll turn, they can choose to instead stay stationary and use their roll to assist a friend. This roll works the same, however it is to the targeted player, not the rolling player.
The player describes how they attempt to assist the player - this could be leaving a trail marker for them to follow, or shouting for them to hear which direction to go in.Upon a Failure with Fear, the player gets lost in the process and both players add 1 onto their countdown.
About this environment
The difficulty can be adjusted based on the speed of the threat.
Can also lower (or raise) the countdown start numbers, and can also combine the players into one countdown, instead of seperated to speed things up.
