If the town was large enough you might be able to put feminine charms to work wooing young, gullible merchants to private interludes and stealing their clobber but you wouldn't be able to work that scheme for very long in one place. It would probably be easier to collect information for the guild, set yourself up as a local constable's regular bit on the side or as a serving girl in an important household. What sort of merchant was Pappa? Your talent may lie in the seedier side of that field, arid regions tend to be big on gems. If he was a wine merchant your own knowledge of it could help when masquerading as someone of a higher class.

Well, it isn't really a guild. It is just the court of the Rogue. She doesn't know that the Inn is the Headquarters of the Rogue. She has been travelling a lot, and done some pickpocketing on those travels, too.
But I'll take your advice into consideration. Thank you.

The reason the group exists is for the added safety of running as a pack. As "payment" for this safety however, the King/Queen of the Rogue will extract his or her share of loot from each member (exactly 10% i.e. one tenth).

If a character has yet to be initiated into the Rogue, they likely know none of this, and thus would only have rumors regarding the Divine Realms Inn to go on. They could then simply ask around, but be warned that this will rouse suspicions from a naturally-paranoid group of Rogues. Either way, they'll likely get to talk to Asreena in the end, and she, along with officers, will be the one to make decisions regarding entry.
