*She was going to keep running but she then rememberd. The stairwell is doubled there 1 on each side the guards can pincer her on the top floor. She would be caught unless... There a door! Quiet as she could she sprints into the open room and closes the door behind her she would look around the room hoping to find anything to bar the door then a way to escape. Subtly is not needed if theres a window in the way shes smashing it*
Catherine
*She dipped into the door not a moment to soon; as she closed it, she could hear the sprinting of guards past it. After a while, she would be able to hear the footsteps upstairs instead of on her current floor. It looked like she wouldn't really need anything to barricade the door with, but that was if she were quick enough to get out. Luckily, there was a window in the center of the wall opposite of the door again, but it wasn't a sliding one. If she wanted to leave, she had to break through.*
Mike
*She would look around the room for anything strong or sturdy enough to use to break the window. But first she would try using the basket hilt of her rapier before resulting to random items found within this room*
