Five Thousand Club
Covering those who were attempting to get clear, the girl slowly paced putting a clear barrier between the Assassin and the non-combatants, at least with them out the way it would be one less issue to concern herself with through a few potential flaws with the plan did occur such as the ranged capabilities and accuracy of the assassin, but provided enough melee pressure remained upon him their use would be limited. The second would be a constant adjusting of his positioning to make clear shots difficult for those at elevation or obscuring their vision of the local area, alternate visions may help there but there was the question of which possessed such, or at least who had sensory deprivation training to use the others. Too many others she was standing still but her mind was working while the others made their escape, how would she turn this fight into her favour if she was in the centre...she may as well use this as a training experience to ensure she has not gotten rusty, meaning to avoid using her eyes and turning this into tactics and skill rather than ending it quickly.
It would provide a challenge, though her previous thoughts did give her one idea for a countermeasure, closing a single eye as well as she stands there waiting for the moment and steadily extracting her hunting knife finally leaving it in view and continuing to watch the mans movements as another thought arrives and she starts to move around the room in circles, looking for weaker surfaces, changes in the layout or anything out of place you would not normally notice in the heat of a fight, The floor, the walls, the support of the balcony, the balcony itself and the roof. Taking in everything as her training had taught her so long ago, if she does encounter any rigged traps she would cut them out room and stem to disable them before he has the chance to use them to turn the fight...reducing his options.
