Jax used his Equipment Appraisal skill to examine the spear. As he expected it was substantially better than his, even out weighing the worth of his shield. He set it back down on the table and looked outside at the source of the noise. "Suppose we should at that, first though I think I'll take this, how much you want for it?" He inquired. Hopefully it wasn't too much, though he expected it would cost at least half his current coinage.

The noise grew concerningly loud and Jax opened the door and peeked outside to find a nearly literal wave of monsters attacking, but they hadn't breached the safe wall. However from what little he could see they were attacking a group of players who also seemingly couldn't make it through the safe wall, because if they could they then already would've.

Jax unslung his spear and yelled inside the tavern, "Come on, some guys need our help!" Hoping that at least some of the patrons would come out and help he sprinted towards the barrier, hoping he would reach it in time to do something.
