Your rules omit swimming, so how could you kill an Argonian who flees to the water?
Yes, I think about these things.
Under the game's rules, or as per the established rules of the secondary world (TES)?
As per the first: cast underwater breathing, wear a charm of underwater breathing, cast a destruction cloak spell... and I really don't know why they stopped allowing you to attack underwater, weird move on their part. Really, if there's a safe place in this game: it's in the water. But conversely: they're not about to beat you down in the water either.
As per the second: Good fucking luck catching an Argonian in the water. Not happening... maybe you're a mage and the water might conduct a lightning spell a little ways, but it'd have to be pretty potent if you want to kill them. An arrow might catch them as they go into the water, but it'll lose power quickly if they get so much as 2 feet below the water. Argonians are significantly stronger than any other people when it comes to war in marshland, swamp, and sea... even at the height of it's power, the Empire conquered some fourth of the land of Black Marsh. If it wasn't for the slaughterfish and the naga and all those other baddies: the water would be pretty safe.
But in the secondary world... I really wouldn't escape into the water. I mean... I'd have to be pretty damn sure of death out of the water. Slaughterfish, diseases... getting wet... ugh.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
