Aure stayed silent as the armored woman chided the Tavern owner for having brought them instead of doing his duties.  It was obvious the anger in her voice when she spoke to the Mayor.  Though, her words about surviving by helping didn't really sit with Aure.  No, instead she planned on finding the best way away from the fighting, they couldn't be guarding everywhere.  Surely she could find a way around them and a way to get away from here before the fighting began.  Surviving Cruran's captivity only to dies here or in bandit captivity?  Not something she wanted to do.<br/><br/>She was happy to watch the Mayor go after his ribbing by Ser Katharine.  Of course that didn't last very long as when Ser Kathrine's attention came back to them, especially when she told them what had happened to any others who had tried to escape this town.  If only the cloths had been returned bloody for the women, she could immediately imagine what was done to them.  No, that she didn't want even more than a fight.  But surely there would be a way for a single person to be able to escape right?<br/><br/>Well, with the thought of what could happen to her, Aure paled at the thought of not actually being able to escape and any plans she could come up with were running thin.  “Crap...”  was all she muttered under her breath before turning and walking toward the south, planning on finding some water on her way first before joining the militia there.  She wasn't willing to risk the threat that she would actually be caught while trying to escape.  It would be better to die fighting than be raped to death by murderers.<br/><br/>…......................................<br/><br/>Aure Found herself on the roof of one of the southern buildings and looking out at all the fire's around the town, showing the positions of many of the scouts that kept people from escaping as the sun died below the far horizon.  The fire that really caught her attention though was the ones that suddenly sparked with the dusk though, the line of hundreds of torches.  The bandit army was approaching, and they were screaming screaming for blood by the sounds of it all.<br/><br/>Swallowing hard, Aure seriously thought about trying to escape the opposite way as this army was approaching.  But in the time between meeting with Ser Kathrine, and now before the assault, Aure had seen some of the young girls that had been fleeing to the Chantry, and that these people were so desperate to defend.  She couldn't just run while all those children were in danger.  Thus why she was there on the roof with a crossbow and dozens of bolts.  Ok, she had never used a crossbow, or any bow for that matter, but she couldn't do anything in a huge Melee that the first combat was likely to be.  She could not move in the middle of a fight like that.  No, she would have to wait until it was more spread out.  She would be more useful with a crossbow until there was room to move.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
