Hah, mine's easy, then. 

Considering I've basically been living as a travelling performer, I could easily have been providing some entertainment at the inn.

I'm editing my CS slightly (the tidbits) to go over this. As a result of living with a troupe for several years, it's only natural she be able to do some kind of performance. Being taken hostage isn't exactly advantageous for her. So any chance she sees to get out (say, a group of people escaping the cellar), she'd probably take.
