After the Captain had dismissed her, Lola continued to look around the stalls, admiring the beautifully crafted objects and delicious looking food. She hadn't been in a port for a long time. This was the perfect getaway from the ship. She had considered using some of the money she had saved to buy a fancy compass, but decided against it. After all, she wouldn't allow herself to steal from her own crewmates.
Everything had seemed perfectly normal until an hour later, when screaming and running could be heard throughout the streets. Lola sighed. Looks like one of us got caught... so much for a break she thought to herself as she made her way through the crowd, darting between bodies. Finally making it to the action, she stopped. The guards had evidentally figured out about them, leading to at least one dead guard and more to come.
Lola thought about jumping in to fight a guard making his way towards Meriadoc, but she knew better than to get in the way of the chain-whip. Deciding that holding off any reinforcements would be the best move for now, she dodged a crossbow bolt as she drew her rapier. She made it down the street without much opposition before facing a guard eager to break up the scuffle. Swinging at the man, she clipped his arm with the blade, drawing blood but leaving him very much alive. The guard drew his sword on her, starting to attack her with skill. Not enough skill, however, because in a matter of moments the tip of her sword connected with his side, leaving a fatal wound. She stepped back as the man crumpled to the ground, looking around for any more guards. Satisfied that none were coming this way, she ran back to where she had seen her crewmates last.
