Leaning towards gold contract or leave and look for answers elsewhere (or take the contract and still look for answers elsewhere, why gamble everything on one horse?). The centaur was platinum, so it's unlikely we'll face something like that. I'm not sure how those two dire wolves would rank, but we did level up since we fought them.
Fenna is not there to casually spent weeks levelling up, she still believes she can go home somehow and will want to fastest way to do so. And the mysterious message seems rather important, she wouldn't want to wait weeks for that either. Leaving and looking elsewhere would also fit Fenna, as it's sensible to first find answers that won't get them potentially killed.
I can't post right now, but I think those are Fenna's preferred options.
Edit: also, we shouldn't decide this IC at the counter, but down at the bar. Fenna is down for a drink.
