Background

As for stealth, an elf can tend to walk unseen when he wants, and an Dex of 15 should help that. I did have an Elven Cloak in my pack if that didn't disappear. I also could cast a disguise self if deemed necessary.
At some point soon, I need to find, steal or buy some weapons and armor or my character isn't going to last long.

It is still easy enough to find the central square in the dark before dawn, even if it by hearing the play of water where an aqueduct drops ice melt mountain water into various cascading basins. As you near, you see the dead body of a noble in the street, killed with a long sword. His leather armor still in decent shape. On his belt is his purse and rapier still.

As you reach the end of the street that empties into the square, you hear the sounds of hoops and howlers, as well as the clank of metal, and the sound of a very young girl crying in fear. Getting to the edge of the dim lit square, torches on the perimeter and the growing dawn approaching, your eyes confirm what you have heard. Five soldiers in plate mail and drawn long swords are pushing around a girl of perhaps 10 years old, who is carrying on her head a large pottery that she has filled at the fountain, the water spilling as she moves back and forth to avoid the men's swords set out to trip her in jest. You hear one of the men yell out in broken Maztica common, "Dance for us squaw!" You can see no one else is in the square and all the shop doors are closed. They are 80 feet from you and are at the center of the square.
