Boogeymen in general are very, very fast. Secondly, your ability to run away is your speed - their speed. So if you didn't invest into it, you'll find you can't run from much.

On Boogeymen, if you can manage to survive until dawn, they will instantly disappear once the time comes.

In my book, speed is king because speed = more attacks vs. your opponents, and adventure mode is all about who can stab who in the 4th right toe and cause them to pass out from pain first.

With a reasonably fast hero swordsman, I took three boogeymen apart no problem. Also if you chop something's legs off, it will have a much harder time chasing you I tend to go for the legs first, so I can come back and clean up the remainder of legless badguys once they're all half as effective at fighting back.

Stuff that is much slower, i.e things that are very large, you can easily run away from. Once you break line of sight, the AI will go to the last place it saw you. If it still can't find you, it will go back to just hanging out.

Sneaking can only be done when no hostile creature can see you, enemies have quite a high range of vision, so just go behind trees and such.

If you can swim, most of the time you can go into a nearby pond and go back into sneak mode.  If you have a ranged attack skill, the enemy will follow to the edge of the water.  If they can't swim you can just shoot/throw stuff at them until they die or you can just go around them.  I once had a master level goblin that I couldn't hit because he was too skilled at dodging so I led him to the water and threw stuff at him until he dodged/fell in and drowned.

There is one more solution to help you stop those annoying dodgers.  Bite or grab them with a wrestling move.  It will prevent them from dodging, but it may make you more prone to getting hit.

I like to combat 2 wolves, grab/bite one, lie down, and train my shield and armor skills to unrealistic levels.  (Don't try without bronze or iron armor, or if tired.)

This is actually a good suggestion.  I think that grabbing an opponent prevents it from dodging away ("You attack the ___, but it jumps away"), but it doesn't prevent missing ("You miss the ___") or blocking ("The ___ strikes at you, but the shot is blocked").

This means that grabbing is best when your opponent relies on dodging and you rely on blocking, which is usually how I play my characters anyways.  Be warned that bogeymen have natural wrestling skills, so they'll probably be able to break free if you haven't trained wrestling too much.

Strangle the throat ( choke it >.<) , and tada easy headshot with your weapon , be sure to don't pick knaping unless you want to throw sharp rocks (or if using genesis to craft stuff).

But i just think some monsters won't pass out from strangling , AIM FOR THE HEAAAD
