Took some time, but Chess recalled Urlag, a young Half-Orc (young being a relative term; she looked quite a bit older than Chess did), who was a skilled enough druid.  Worked just outside the city, in a small shrine... clinic for animals, if Chess recalled properly.  Knowing where she was, and how long it would take to get there and/or to the other location where the supposed weretiger or druid-companion, she headed out to find the young, beautiful Urlag immediately...
