Becky kills the guard

Becky pulled the dagger out once more and began inching closer to the Gnoll. She had seen how dangerous they could be first hand, and knew she would likely stand little chance if the Gnoll was able to defend itself. There was no room for error.

She crept closer and closer until, finally, the Gnoll was within reach. It only took two slashes from her dagger-- one to inject the poison, and the next to slit the creatures throat. Then the deed was done. Becky left the Gnoll's body where it fell. There was no time to hide it-- she needed to get back to her friends. If the Gnoll search party had left the cave, then they might be in danger of being caught off guard. Becky had some confidence that they could take out the Gnolls in an even fight, but if the party was caught unaware, it could be over instantly.

She dashed off into the forest, weaving between the trees, low to the ground. She couldn't allow herself to get captured again, but she needed to make her way back to the other Bravos as quickly as possible.
