Oh no! Noises! Gotta make a move, quick!
But I didn't come all this way to leave without unarmed, so option 4 is out. Let's see, concealability, long-range accuracy, or maximum stopping power? The rifle comes with a nice scope, but at the moment (in the dark) I'm not sure about its usefulness. So I reach for the shotgun and hightail it outa there, away from the noises. The weight of the weapon has a calming effect on me. It's good to know that now my options aren't reduced to running, but I can turn around and face the threat if I have to.

Option 3 for me.
