As the title says, I have a stoneworker being chased by a Giant Skeletal Bat. He has been pursued for a while now and is slowly outrunning it, then he makes a stupid move and it gets closer again.

How can I get him to stop running all over the countryside and get him to run inside my fort to safety? I am scared if he keeps running he will bump into some skeletal trogg or ratmen.

I tried "all dwarves stay inside," didn't help. Although once he gets a certain distance from it I think he runs in the direction of the fort entrance. Might work.
If I draft him, he will probably go tackle it and get shredded.
I sent two war dogs at it. They got killed nearly instantly.

What can I do?

Pray, send military, or draft him and set him to ignore dangerous wild animals ( that -might- work) and station him inside your fortress. Personally, I'd just watch how long he lasts running 

[BradB]

I can't afford for him or anyone else to die as he is one of my seven starters and I haven't got any immigrants yet.

Oh goody! Elven merchants just arrived, hopefully he gets himself chased over to the trade depot so they can try to kill it.

[BradB]

Awesome, he ran to my booze stockpile because he got thirsty. Safe.

Oh, and those elves... They got slaughtered by moles. Two dwarves are running over there to go claim their socks. Right in the direction of the bat. Great...

[BradB]

It wasn't their socks as death Items are forbidden and couldn't find what the heck they were looking for. Turned out to be a bunch of logs sitting on the conglomerate mountain. Conglomerate is the same colour as logs. 

I did a [d] [b ] [f] over every level of the whole mountain to find em. Hopefully no one runs outside to the bat anymore.

I can't type [b ] (without space) because it makes the text go bold.

And therein lies the fun
