# The party meets the Owlbear mother in cut scene, fights and kills her. A second cut scene in which the cub begins eating its mother gives the party an opportunity to spare the cub. The cub will survive and reappear after the next long rest (see below). | # The party meets the Owlbear mother in cut scene, fights and kills her.

# The party attacks the Owlbear mother from stealth, skipping the initial cut scene. In this case the second cut scene with the cub eating the mother will not be triggered and the cub will keep attacking. To save the cub, the party will need to flee from the combat while the cub is still alive, after killing the Owlbear and grabbing any desired loot. If the party disengages while the cub is still alive, he will survive and reappear after the next long rest (see below). Downing the cub, even with non-lethal combat, will NOT spare him for this purpose -- fleeing combat is the only way to preserve him for story purposes. | # The party attacks the Owlbear mother from stealth, skipping the initial cut scene.

Note that in [[Honor mode]], the [[Owlbear]] summons the [[Owlbear Mate]]. During the scenario 2 described above, even after killing both Owlbears, there is no second cut scene and the party must flee to save the Cub. | |||
If he has been successfully spared in one of the above scenarios, then after long resting the Owlbear Cub can next be found in the [[Goblin Camp]] where he can be freed by playing [[Krolla#Act_One|Chicken Chase]] or by persuading the goblins. The Cub does not seem to appear in the Goblin Camp if {{CharLink|Mezzka|Devout Mezzka}} was killed before a long rest or if the Goblin Camp was poisoned through the [[Goblin Camp#Booze Tub|Booze Tub]]. Should the party have killed the entire Goblin Camp before encountering the owlbears, then the mother will be killed by a Goblin hunting party and the cub will show up at the campsite after a couple of long rests. | If he has been successfully spared in one of the above scenarios, then after long resting the Owlbear Cub can next be found in the [[Goblin Camp]] where he can be freed by playing [[Krolla#Act_One|Chicken Chase]] or by persuading the goblins.
