Port Sledge is east of Droknars.

Actually, you should probably check it out in the forum instead:

The forum version is continually being added to and edited, so while the main page is getting out of date, the forum version is attempting to keep up with changes. For example, the forum thread now says

Since it was proven that in fact one can capture a bear pre-searing still - and the thread even details how, farther along.

I have since deleted that character, as I only had a few requests to confirm the existence of presearing bears and wanted the name for my ritualist (who I have since deleted :P)

Since you say "keeps dying" I assume that you mean that your henchmen kill it? The answer is either to go with people, restrict your henchmen to the point that you can survive getting there but they can't kill it (healers only possibly) or to solo your way there. Port Sledge you can typically get to a bear without needing to fight anything (Escape is nice for this).
