You should find shelter in town

The guard points towards the centre of town and calls out over the wind “Go and find shelter in the tavern or the temple! We’re not safe out here!”

He pulls his hood further down as he and his friend turn back to close the still-open gate, but you notice both of them glancing sideways at your body once more. You glance down to see what he was looking at. Immediately you realise that your earlier fear had come true, as your drenched dress betrayed every intimate detail of your body. Feeling another shiver from the freezing cold rain, compounded with the embarrassment of being essentially naked in public forces you to jog in the direction that the guard pointed out.

You reach a small square and can see the thatched, wooden tavern off to your left. A sign blowing back and forth about its door reveals its name to be “The Silver Chalice”. Strangely, the inside of the tavern is dark, as though no-one is there. The night isn’t that late, so there should still be people awake. Another flash of sheet lightning reveals the temple a few streets behind the tavern, a large silver bell visible within the tall white-stone tower for a brief moment until the light fades away, followed by thunder that shakes the ground.

On the opposite side of the square you can see a dark-grey stone house with light spilling from its windows. If the tavern is shut, maybe it would be best to seek sanctuary there? It’s certainly closer than the temple, but you would need to rely on the charity of its owner.
