Sylvia soon appeared next to Buddy, and she was surprised to hear what he had to say. She asked "Red smoke? Oh god...What could she have encountered...?" 

Whether or not Buddy answered her question or not, after the answer or a bit of silence, she told him, "She's not the only one who had an interesting encounter. While you two were gone, a dwarf who was hunting bandits stopped by and asked about the Iron Bandits. I gave her the information about them, and a sandwich, and she told me about a crimson werebear guarding a magic tree that gave healing honey, and she went on her way,"
