What we want to get:

1. Having Brynna and Andrick survive and either send them to Goblin Camp or on the Road again. Either you sent them away at Edowins Body or in the Cave.
2. Get the Owlbear cub without Killing his Mum
3. Get second half of Spear from Body of Owlbear Mum



1. Do all the talk to Edowin so you get Brynna and Andrick believe you are a True Soul.
They will go to the cave when you tell them Edowin needs to be avenged.
Join them and enter Cave. They will stay before the Owlbearmum and waiting for you there. Normally you have a lot of hussle sometimes to help them both stay alive in the fight.
But we dont want to fight the Owlbearmum. Dont Move close to Andrick and Brynna or else you Start next Animations with Owlbear Mum etc.
So what we do is sneaking in with our best Dextery based character to the Owlbearnest from behind area where the Seluneshrine is.
We will initiate an animal Talk with Owlbear Mum and after that we want to Steal Egg, bec. why not and might be usefull later in game, when not used as Lure for Fight.
When everything gone fine, you will have stolen the Owlbear EGG from the Nest and this character is registered as having beeing close to the Owlbear Mum bec. we talked to her or stole Egg.
You need to be registered for a Textoption from Andrick.
After that you go to Andrick and when you talk to him with with the character who stole the Egg, he will tell you how you could get so close and you will then have options to send them away agaon or to stay hold.
So you want to sent them away and you must decide for future reference when Full Game is released in what kind of manner you want to have them meet again with you. On the Road to Baldurs Gate or as enemys in Goblin Camp.
(Whereas when you have them in Goblin camp and poison the Goblins, there might be another option too because both of them stay in another position after Goblins have been poisend.)
Theres one Problem: When you send them away in the Owlbear Cave, they both start running into the direction of the Owlbear and thereby initiate fight. Make both of them invisible and make use of Turnbasedmode to avoid starting fight.

Now to our EGG Thief. Before you steal Egg start an Animal Talking with Owlbear Mum. Talk about her beeing hurt and want to help. But leave when she wants you to leave. That way you can rest your mind that you at least tried the peacefull route there and registered for Andrick seeing you talk to her.

2. When you send both of them away successfully, you can freely leave the Owlbears without doing anything more.
After at least a nights sleep you go to Goblin camp and will find the Owlbearcub there. If you go to Cave you will see some new Goblintracker bodyxs there and ther Dead Owlbearmum. Pick up second half of that Spear from here body.
In the Goblin camp you can initiate the Chicken chase and when you win and talked to Owlbearcub you can give him a scent so he knows where your camp is.
Tell the Goblin from Chickenchase Game that you want the Owlbearcub too as prize and everythings gone fine.

Voila, you didnt kill the Owlbear Mum and you freed the Cub.

Can't you just send those two disciples away in the inital conversation? I normally don't bother with them, kill them (I have not much tolerance for zealous people) and then go into the cave, talk to mum (maybe steal the egg and the Oakfathers Promise), then leave them and get the owlbear cub in the goblin camp. That way, you don't have to risk them dying in the caves, if you want to keep them alive.

How do you trigger dialogue with owlbear mom?
It always attacked me on sight, I never saw the cut scene from one of Swens videos.
In bear form it ignored me until I get close to the little bear, then both attack me.

You never know until full release of game what different choices you can have and what they bring for you.
Edowin says those two Andrick and Brynna are very special and important. So maybe we will see more of them in future, or its just a opportunity like with those 3 Ogre (one of them High INT. Gourmants from digested INT Circlet) from Blightvillage. Just a help in a fight or maybe some Questreward later.

Beeing able to Talk to Animals could be the trigger. So have a Potion or abillity prepared beforehand, which can make you talk to Animals.
Beeing Druid also gives you Textoptions.

In that case i was a Seldarine Drow, Druid of the Land with Charlatan Origin.
My Char is Shield and Finesse like Rapier +1 Weapon user or using Clubs as 1H/2H with shillelagh.
Stealth +7 and Sleight of Hand +8, so far with all Bonus from a Ring, Drow Chestarmor and DEX. So i got here a nice Dark thieving Druid with high deception and perception etc
AC 18, Melee 1D8+5 (Rapier+1)

Str 10
DEX 18
CON 10
INT 8 (18 with circlet)
WIS 16
CHR 14

You don't need talk to animals to trigger the cutscene with the owlbear mum. Just go close enough and then it triggers. You need a decent number in animal handling to succeed in convincing mum to not attack you though.
If the cutscene doesn't trigger, it's most likely a bug. I had something similar, where the wrong npc always appeared at the windmill in the Blighted Village (Spike, the torturer, instead of that ranger goblin). For me it was fixed with patch 4.

The cut scene never triggered for me.
I enter the cave and the bear attacks me on sight.
I never have the chance to use any skill.

Do you have to do something before entering the cave?

No, you just have to enter, get close to the mother and then the cutscene should trigger. It sounds like a bug to me (like the wrong goblin at the windmill in my games pre-patch 4)

Do you enter from the main path or after climbing down and going past the statue of Selune?
If the latter, then you're approaching closer to the Owlbear cub which insta-aggros the mom.

In both playthroughs (patch2 and now patch4) I never saw a cut scene.
I am sure in my current playthrough I took the main path.

SOmetimes the cub is running around in front of the mother, but not often. That could instant aggro her too, since you are closer to the little one. But it woudl be incredible unlucky, if that would be always the case. At the moment, nothing else comes to mind, which could cause the mother to instant attack.
