Crystal wandered through the city looking for an Inn to swindle money from anyone that was willing to part willingly with their money.
She could feel a change in the air, as if something big was about to happen. Crystal hoped that it wouldn't be anything too important, it might interfere with her plans to get more money.
She found an Inn and entered, the smoke wafting to her face. It was a welcomed smell from and she smiled slightly as she entered. It reminded her of the days that she had spent in other Inns, memories of her youth that were long gone.
Yet those memories weren't wanted anyway. They just got in the way of her goals and plans. Her plans of running away. She looked around the room at the people that were sitting or standing around, talking and drinking. She bought herself a strong ale and stood at the bar. Her attention was everywhere as she tried to listen for anyone that had more then enough money to part with. She watched to see who bought more and who bragged about their wealth in their clothes and speech.
She saw a small band of people that were together. She wondered if they had any money within the lot of them, but kept her distance as she watched them.
