Somehow she ended up walking in the same direction as both the Orc and the Halfling as she headed off to find something edible and stuck with them after that. The rest of the day passed without incident. Then eventually the Mayor took the stage, followed by a speech after boring speech. Nadia was contemplating taking up old habits out of sheer boredom, noting that pockets did seem stuffed with coin, but as she moved slowly along the outer edge of the crowd with her two new companions she suddenly stopped to listen.<br/><br/>The noise they all heard, the priest on stage no exception, sounded suspiciously like an explosion.<br/><br/>"This way," she said just loud enough for the Orc and Halfling to hear and started walking. The elf moved lithely through the crowd from where she stood, not wanting to draw attention to her heading by leaving the crowd entirely and running around it but she did go directly towards where the sound had come from. Maybe this was just her boredom in action, hopes that there was something here to explore, but she would have been a very lame hunter of monsters if she ignored her gut instinct and shrugged off suspicious sounds from outside a large crowd that might just be turning into a buffet.<br/><br/>Okay so it was probably mostly her boredom talking.<br/><br/>Once she got close to the alley she thought the sound came from, she moved up closer to the walls of the buildings and moved carefully and quietly closer, keeping an eye on Gor'ax and Pru if they had followed her or were stomping on their own to the alley.
