A brand new day, and a new city.

It had been a year since she had ran away from her home ,her family . She had hidden on a local barge and escaped to the next city to hers , the first couple of weeks had been tough and she thought she would starve, that was until the guild took her in.

The guild had trained her ,luckily she was quick and intelligent ,soon picking up skills she needed to survive ,excelling at pick pocketing she soon was able to pay for herself, and the tithe due to her trainers , now in her 19th year she was able to work independently , but the guild would always be there.

This morning had started well, and a new start in the city of Greyhawk, she munched into baked pastry she had bought for breakfast , a noble foolishly walking alone in the lanes an easy mark , even paying the guild his pouch would keep her fed for the rest of the week.

Jana smiled at the market stall worker , his stall was full of fruit and veg, he watched as she walked past then served a maid out shopping for her house, an apple slipped into her pocket, that will do for later she walked towards the upper quarter , maybe today would get better.

She had been following the man for a few minutes , he seemed the usual fop , and was laden with a heavy belt pouch , finally seeing her chance she "bumped" into him in a crowd , as her hand grabbed the pouch his hand grasped her wrist

"I don't think so little thief"

Her wrist hurt, she brought her knee to his groin , he groaned but didn't let go , she bought her heel down on his foot, catching him off balance she pushed him back sprawling into the crowd , she turned and wove her way through the people, rushing to get out of the area

"THIEF"

The man shouted out, she saw guards turn and try and spot the cause, a quick glance back she saw the man pointing after her , guards approaching from different directions she dove down a side alley hoping to loose her pursuers.She had found a hiding place, three guards had run straight past her but she waited longer before moving on.She walked leisurely heading back towards the lanes finally starting to relax

"STOP THIEF"

A lone guard ran towards her she rushed off darting this way and that, taking a wrong turn she found a dead end. She hid the best she could , the guard walk slowly down the street halberd held poised, if he kept coming he would soon see her, a door to her left opened a crack a hand beckoned her in.
