Maybe she's still at home

Maybe she's still at home - it's still early in the morning after all. You go up to the nearest highest roof to check which direction to go in. From this vantage within the center of town you need to squint, but you eventually spot the little house beyond the walls, where the outskirts of town start transitioning into the orchards and grainfields.

You dart across town, out through the nearest gatehouse and up the path towards Sayza's place. As you approach you take care not to set off any potential traps she might have lain. It wouldn't surprise you if she's beefed up her security after your encounter yesterday. Upon further thought, you figure that while moving at this speed you'd probably easily be able to dodge any crossbow bolts fired your way. Gunshots might be a touch more difficult however, so best be careful in case Sayza really upgraded her traps.

You dextrously slink towards the house, managing to get through one of the windows and narrowly avoiding setting off a trapwire. Inside you find a set of extra crossbows pointed at all the entrypoints, but Sayza isn't there. You glance over at her bed: the bed covers have clearly been moved about, so she must have been here during the night at least, having either escaped or been set free from the stocks before the night. Still, that means she could've left town early in the morning.

You check around the room. Her clothes are still in the closet, and a chest with a little bit of loot from pickpocketting. It would seem unlikely she left town and left her belongings behind, so she's probably somewhere in the city.

You leave the house, careful not to set off the traps on your way out. For fun and giggles, you take everything out of Sayza's wardrobe and hide it in the bushes at the back of the building. You're amused at the thought of Sayza returning home to notice her clothes are missing, and realizing even her additional traps couldn't stop you.
