The woman: Aleigha, female werebear. As a human, she is AC8, F3rd level, 21 hp, 1d8+1 with her sword, and is otherwise in her werebear form – AC2, HP 21, At 2d4/2d4/2d8. She is neutral, and the cleric, very evil and chaotic, treated her nicely in order to keep her. He actually hated her ,and the hobgoblins knew it. She has gone from community to community, and flown each time they get close to discovering her secret. She fights with the Sword of Spartusia. In Werebear form she can only be hit by magical and silver weapons, can summon 1d6 brown bears in the outdoors. She can cure disease someone once a month, and heal at 3x the normal rate. They never enter cities unless there is an emergency.

The Sword of Spartusia. This ruby-bladed magic sword once belonged to Spartusia Eriksdottir. IT was crafted from a single flawless ruby by an ancient red dragon in thanks for a service provided by the legendary warrior. The longsword was given a trim and feminine appearance Spartusia was eventually killed, and her sword lived on but it became cursed. It searches out the female descents of Spartusia and forces them to use it. Aleigha, it’s the last one. Despite its massive value, it cannot be sold or traded, and can only be given away. Any attempt to do so fails. The sword brings disaster upon any owner who is not a descendant of Spartusia. In Aleigha’s hands, it is a +2 sword. In other hands, it is just a +1 blade.
