I think that's crusader build of cleric, rather than a BO9S type.
Concerning Beastmen
This portion of the Borderlands is notorious for the presence of this race. Goat-headed humanoids, the beastmen are lazy, cruel and numerous. Some are known to worship vile gods and demons but many are simply violent scavengers. Occasionally the race throws up a particularly large specimen; these are known as skurgs and often become leaders of their smaller cousins.
The beastmen are an amalgam of Runequest's broos and Arcana Evolved rhodin, and will probably see use instead of most of the usual evil humanoid races.
Last Ferry
The nearest settlement to the Keep, some three days hard ride away, where a broad river forms the border of the civilised lands. It is likely that Sha'ah joined the party here. There are supposedly some scattered farmsteads on the far side of the river, protected by the keep, but as with the keep nothing has been heard from them for a while.
