Strange Ox: Difference between revisions

Note that even if you choose to [[Raid the Emerald Grove]] and attack the refugees, the Strange Ox disappears along with the other oxen when the grove goes into siege preparation mode, and will survive to be encountered later.

Walking towards the Strange Ox in the stables of the [[Last Light Inn]] will prompt a DC 10 [[Insight]] check whether you've seen it before; passing this check is not necessary to talk to the Strange Ox. With [[Speak with Animals]], you continue the conversation you started in the [[Druid Grove]]. Regardless of what option you choose, you will need to pass either a DC 14 [[Persuasion]], [[Perception]] or [[Nature]] check to continue.  

Pushing it further results in the Ox threatening you. You can choose to either end it here, or continue questioning him. Questioning him further will result in the Ox turning hostile, deforming into a cyan version of an [[Ochre Jelly]] and entering combat with your party. Before doing so he tells the player he was only looking for a simple life of hay and a clean stable to live in.

If you didn't kill the strange ox during [[Act Two]], then you can find him again at the beginning of [[Act Three]] in {{Coords|36|-149|Rivington}} on a hill west of the requisitioned barn. Approaching him will again trigger a DC10 [[Insight]] check to confirm his likeness. This time, the Ox is glad to see you. He was worried about your mental health since your last encounter with him, but perhaps he's just faking it because he needs something from you.
