The priestess nods, and says, "We'd be happy to pay you guild rate, possibly more if you can get any exceptional sacrifice materials from the bear. We don't know much about the bear, ourselves, we've never been able to get close to it. We call it Ironhide, and all we know is that it's damn-near impossible to take down."

Thokk's reflection on the past reveals a bit more than what the woman is letting on.

Ironhide, or a bear like it, has been in these woods longer than anyone can remember, with reports going back as far as when the town was first founded. Once every couple of generations, Ironhide tries to attack the town, possibly looking for food or who knows what else. The celestial protection spells have prevented the truly massive beast from breaking through the town's walls long enough for guards to pepper it arrows and bullets. While these do cause the beast to retreat, they never seem to wound it, seemingly bouncing off of the creature's hide.
