Does Becky find a way past the lone guard?

Becky recognizes her discarded equipment

As Becky was considering how to go about getting past the lone Gnoll, she spotted something out of the corner of her eye. There on the ground, not too far away was her heavy coat and what remained of the rest of her clothing.

As Becky investigated, she found that the coat was still largely in tact, and that most of her weapons, potions, and poisons were there as well. Unfortunately, the rest of her clothing hadn't survived her encounter with the guards, and was in tatters on the ground, utterly useless. Still, her coat and weapons were blessing enough for Becky, and might be enough to get her past this remaining Gnoll.

Becky pulled on the heavy coat, relaxing once more as its voluminous fabric swallowed her up, masking her movements. With a quick check, she found and drew the paralytic dagger from it's poison coated sheath, holding the weapon at the ready for a moment before putting it away again. She didn't have to kill this Gnoll, she realized. Perhaps the extra camouflage her coat provided her would be enough to get past him without trouble. Then again, was there really any reason not to kill the guard?

What's next?
