At this point, two women enter the tavern, one of them, the one with fox ears and nine tails, starts asking about portals and cities full of doors. After a bit of convincing, Jaxson, Grodd, and Marby agree to go into the forest with them to help sort out this bear at least, and see what happens.
So, instead, they all set out to sample the monastery's production. Abbot Norry greets Jaxson in the shrine to Ajahn, and takes them to the taphouse. After buying selling the group some alcohol and drinking a roundwith them, the abbot abbott has to get back to work, and the group heads south into the forest to see if they can run off or kill this bear.
