Do they have a room for her?

They can make an exception

"May I take your coat, miss?" Asks Tina, a slim half-elf with pale skin and platinum blonde hair, and one of Linny's accomplices.

"Why, thank you," Jorella says, turning around and letting Tina slide it right off her body as the half-elf gently slips Jorella's gold earrings and necklace off of her too. She then darts outside as Jorella heads towards the front desk, still unaware of her misfortunes.

Jorella looks around and begins to impatiently ring the bell for service.

Soon, a surprisingly chubby half-elf with silver-hair, wearing a green and white dress/uniform with the name tag 'Kelly' on it stumbles out of the back room and eagerly rushes up to the desk, wheezing from her exertion.

"Welcome... *gasp* to the... *wheeze* Stumble Inn!" Kelly pants as she wipes the sweat from her brow. "How can I help you?"

Jorella stares down her nose at this simple peasant, thinking she's giving her some intimidating look that is making the half-elf quake in fear (she's not, Jorella just looks kind of constipated).

"I want your finest room!" The merchant declares as she loudly plops her coin bag on the desk. The sound of easy money echoes through the bar, prompting half a dozen thieves to look up and spot their newest mark. "Money is no issue."

Kelly stares back at this disheveled woman with her messy red hair and expensive clothes. "Uh... well..." the nervous girl stutters.

Jorella mistakes her slow response for haggling, and pulls out five gold coins, more than Kelly makes in a year, and casually tosses them on the counter. "THE. BEST." Jorella insists as she walks away with a smug look on her face, not realizing she just paid 50 times the going rate for one of the five identical rooms at the Inn.

Kelly quickly scoops up the money and runs off, eager to celebrate and tell her co-works they've got another 'cow to milk', as they put it.

Jorella has successfully made herself a huge target for future misfortune as she plops down at a table and waits for a bar maid to come serve her.

Is Jorella done drawing unwanted attention to herself?
