FYI, the Strange Ox has the Shapeshifter's Boon Ring, whi8ch grants 1d4 bonus to ability checks while you are shapeshifted via Disguise Self spell. Easy way to get it is to cast Mage Hand, seperate it from group, and then have group hide around corner where Aaron the vendor is. At that point, have Mage Hand attack the Strange Ox, which should result in the Mage Hand getting swiftly killed. After it has been killed, take group out of stealth mode, and have the character that cast the Mage Hand enter dialog with the Ox (you don't need to Speak with Animals to complete this part). After entering dialog, it just says the Ox is pissed, and you should donate something to it. Select that option, and trade screen pops up. You'll see the Shapeshifter's Boon ring in Ox inventory. Move it to the barter section, and then simply just trade or buy the ring from the Ox. Easy peasy, lemon-squeezy.
Thank you so much! Yours are so easy to follow through
You are so welcome!

I had always assumed you had to kill the strange ox to get that, which is less than ideal. Great insight!
