"Clank".When I wake up, I find that I am in a prison. My immediate thought is to find a small opening or crack so I can sneak out. So I  decide to look around. "Ah-ha" I say as I  find a crack in the walls big enough to see a small copper key.At this, I use it to escape the cell and make my way to a  stone watch tower  nearby so that I can escape without witnesses.   

"Hey, what are you doing?" Came a gruff voice from behind me as I am trying  to escape. When I turn around, I see a bulky guard staring down at me. "Hello?" I say a tiny bit intimidated by his tall and looming stature.  

Seeing him grab his spear made me realize that he wants me dead.Not letting him take the first move, I pull out two throwing darts with poison tips (yes, thankfully they did not check me for weapons) and I aim and hit both his legs but still dodging his spear.I was way too fast. As soon as he jabs his spear at me I throw the darts and they pierce his weak armor and within seconds he falls to the ground dead. I quickly loot him for all of hi belongings and run to the marketplace.
