The [[Owlbear]] and her [[Owlbear Cub|cub]] are found in the northwestern section of the cavern. The area can be approached either by continuing forward north then west from the cave entrance or via a slope north of the Selûne Shrine.

If a fight does break out and the cub survives, you will get the choice to either spare it or finish it off while it eats its mother's remains. '''Sparing the cub is a critical choice if you plan to have it become a camp follower.'''

Another way to obtain the cub as a camp follower is to avoid the fight with the mother, after talking to her and retreating.  During a long break, the cub will join you at your camp.  Returning to the cave later, you will find the mother killed by some goblins, providing you easy access to the owlbear egg.

After a period of time, the [[Owlbear Cub|cub]] will join you at your camp


After the fight, there is a headless skeleton by the nest which has the {{RarityItem|The Oak Father's Embrace}}. Next to it is the valuable {{RarityItem|Owlbear Egg}}, worth 750 gold and provides 40 [[Camp Supplies]], which can also be saved for the [[Steal a Githyanki Egg]] quest.

To open the Gilded Chest, jump behind the Selûne statue. If you succeed at a passive {{Ability check|Perception|10}}. check, you'll find a {{RarityItem|Selûnite Prayer Sheet}} which can be identified with a passive {{Ability check|History|15}}. Read the prayer item next to the chest using anyone other than [[Shadowheart]] to successfully dispel the seal, rewarding 15 experience and triggering the [[Acolyte]] [[Inspiration]], Her Gift of Silver.  Alternative methods to open the chest without the prayer include opening it with a [[Cleric|Cleric]] who worships Selûne or using the [[Knock]] spell. The chest holds the {{RarityItem|Moondrop Pendant}}, a note describing ancient Selunite rites, a silver necklace, and the unique {{RarityItem|Idol of Selûne}} that can make a interesting camp decoration.

If you try to take the items in the chest while Shadowheart is in the party, you will need to make a {{Ability check|Sleight of Hand|15}} or risk losing [[Approval]] with her.
If you try to take the items in the chest while Shadowheart is in the party, you will need to make a {{Ability check|Sleight of Hand|15}} or risk losing [[Approval]] with her. That also can be avoided by putting the whole chest into the inventory of a character other than Shadowheart. If the chest is opened in the inventory, then Shadwoheart won't notice it.
