# 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 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.

In this case, the first cut scene ends when the ranged attack lands or misses and combat is initiated. When combat ends, the second cut scene with the cub eating the mother will be triggered.
