While not out exploring the city or on a expedition to find some lost civilization, you'll likely find Almyra somewhere in the halls of Rook University, most likely tearing through books and scrolls in the library. At the very least, she wanders the area of the Knowledge District frequently, discussing ideas with scholars both mundane and magical.
She is also known to come to the more upscale taverns in the area and ply her skill as a bard reciting poetry, odes, epics and ballads in spoken word. Every once in a while she meanders down to the Golden Plow, where she performs and keeps an ear out for word of interesting happenings in the world.
As for services, Almyra is somewhat skilled in the art of making portraits and paintings. She can likely assist in researching just about any scholarly topic, and she knows a number of languages including Elven, Dwarven, and Terran. She can cast a small number of spells, including Cure Light Wounds and Memorize Page. She has excellent handwriting and is willing to pen letters or important documents for a price.
(Basically, I have Craft Painting, Profession Scribe, and a few spells.)

After learning about the traditions and mythology of the druids from Baldur, Almyra goes to the library of Rook University and begins the laborious task of research. She looks for any references to a tribe of such people from the area Baldur said they once lived in.

Remembering the dangers she faced in rescuing the prisoners of the hobgoblin clan, Almyra realizes she must protect herself better. She is no warrior, but interests often take her to locations that are less than safe. She goes to an armorer's shop in the Arms District and purchases a suit of leather armor and a buckler.

She also heads over to the Central Trade District, and after many hours of searching she finds a backpack of exceptional quality. It's costly, but the price is well worth the craftsmanship.

A weakly elf dressed in rich robes waltzes into the university, black cat at his side. "Hey there Almyra, been looking for you. I'd like you to paint a portrait of my cat, Steve, and one of us together. Here's 100 gold, that should cover the costs of everything."

Almyra graciously takes the gold from her friend, asking him to briefly sit with his cat for a few sketches before sending them off and asking them to return in a few hours for the paintings.

After finishing those paintings for Raymond, Almyra spends time utilizing her skills with language to assist various scholars and professors of the university with their research(or in some cases, simple classwork), earning her a few favors here and there.
