Go for your things, or run?

You try to get something.

Really not wanting to leave here completely naked and defenseless you quickly look for who is holding your belongings. Sadly you can't figure it out, and time is running out, the only thing you can clearly see is a man holding your gun belts. 'Better than nothing.' You think to yourself and begin your attack. You know this can all go very bad very fast and simply set on him with all you've got. Yelling like a mad woman you charge at him full speed, closing the distance in an instant. As you hoped, he drops his package, pulls his sword, and takes a frightened swing. Dropping under the blow, your hands hit the ground and for an instant you are on all fours below the swing. Pushing off with both hands and feet you then launch yourself under his guard, your head smashing against his chin and sending him backwards. Not even pausing for a second to continue the attack, you skid to a halt for only the slightest fraction of a second, scooping up the pair of belts that hold your pistols and remaining ammo.

“Stop her!” Someone calls out, finally stopping the small brawl between the couple of guards that couldn't agree on how you should be treated before dying. But your plan is still on track. The guard with the ax is now in what is basically a slow jog, and closing on you quickly.

Planting your bare foot, you kick yourself into motion once again, charging the fearsome foe. 'Someone this quick to kill you, can't be all that good.' You think to yourself, yet still you don't draw down on him. Instead you simply use your speed to launch yourself at him much like the last guard. He sees you coming, and apparently also saw how you dealt with the last guard. He plants his feet, holds the ax in front of him in a fighting stance, and waits for you attack. Your attack starts exactly as you did with the last guard, but he dips the ax low, keeping it between the two of you. But he doesn't know your plan is not one of attack, but one of flight. Just before you get within reach of his weapon, you simply use all the speed and strength you can muster, and vault over him. The jump seems to impress everyone here, yourself included, and as you arc well out of reach of any attack the folly of your earlier actions reveals itself, as you realize a similar move would have carried you up the wall and to freedom before any of them laid a hand on you.

“Stop her, get your crossbows men, stop her before she....” The rest trails off into the night as you round the corner and make your way across town. Suddenly you aren't sure of your destination.

Where do you go?
