As she's working her way through the manor, she overhears the guardsman and the groundskeeper talking; while most of the people inside the manor are fairly ignorant of the city's politics, the front gate guard has an ear to the street, all day, and has quite a bit of gossip. If she merely listens in unobtrusively, she can pick up a number of useful pieces of information about the city's politics, including the major motives of the movers and shakers of the city, though if she actively pursues the information, he'll gladly explain everything he knows. Most of it's rumor and speculation, but it's enough to give her a basic feel for the city, and some quality questions to pose to the demon, tomorrow.
