At least that is what she did until she noticed the bolt in his neck, and the fact that he was a raider.  It took her a moment to recover from her surprise and to then focus on all the noise going on around her.  The retreat was in full swing by the sound of it.  She had to get to the chantry with the rest of the people.<br/><br/>There were only a couple steps down the alley though before there was suddenly more shapes in the alley heading away from her.  She moved back into some shadows and froze again, waiting until they had passed before she moved again herself.  Once they were gone she moved down the correct back alley that she would need to go, moving as fast as she could dare and still move silently.  She had to reach the Chantry before the raiders themselves.<br/><br/>Sticking to the shadows as she went she finally came to the end of an alley onto the main road, and just behind the militia lines, having done her best to avoid conflict, and was especially happy when she was successful at reaching this point and not having encountered any major opposition, and running from it when she did faster than they could follow.

She noticed the female knights Alex, and Ser Katharine in the square as well as the large woman from the  bar.<br/><br/>They may win as long as no new enemies other than the raiders showed up, or reinforcements arrived for the raiders.
