Time to Flee

The Black Void - Episode 2999

I realise that someone like Gustav must have many contacts but, even so, how did he manage to track me down in a matter of a few hours? Perhaps he intended to ask for me at every inn on my likely route, and has found me at the first? I don't have time to ponder that any further now though, as I can't imagine that the innkeeper will be able to stand up to him for long. Sure enough, almost immediately I hear two pairs of footsteps ascending the creaky stairs.

I realise that if I'm to escape I won't have time to dress. I could slip on my shoes quickly enough, but for what I'm about to do it may be better to be barefoot. So I grab the precious sheet of paper from my shoe and stuff it into my knickers and then, wearing only those knickers and my chemise, open the window and climb out. I've had no chance to reconnoitre, but I'm praying that it will be possible for me to climb down,

  1. It is. Only when it is too late do I realise that I have forgotten to bring the pouch of coins.
  2. It is. But I can see that Gustave has brought a second man with him to keep watch on the inn.
  3. I can't see a way of climbing down. It looks as if I may have to jump and trust to luck, both for me and for my unborn child.
  4. I'm on the side of the inn that's facing away from the moon. So I can't see much at all. At least that will make it harder for any possible look-outs to see me.
