As the dragonborn sorcerer, Lana, waves the head of the dead bugbear king in the hallway using Mage Hand, the arcane trickster drow rogue, Durial, uses his own Mage Hand spell to unlock the door holding in the owlbear.
In a flurry of motion, the massive form of a starving matron owlbear bursts through the tower doors, and follows the motion and scent of the head as it is unceremoniously tossed aside into the entry hall of the temple. The party hides, waiting for what they hope to be the sounds of battle.
A slithering sound, the roar of the monstrous feathered beast, then the sound of snapping and what sounds like a 5 foot long peeling of a banana? Apparently, a grick met it's fate at the paws of the hungry beast.
(Ouch.)
Rumbling and red firelight filled the halls, and a magically enhanced voice, booming and angry and speaking in goblin, commands the "foul creature" to leave. The haggard owlbear roars in surprise, and bursts through the opposite doorway from where it came in, smashing the stone archway and collapsing the entrance as it bounds into the night. Several more goblin voices can be heard in the distance, and the 'twang of bows as arrows fly in the night after the freed creature.
In the quiet that followed, the group of adventurers sneak into the tower that once held the owlbear. Little remains of the furniture, except a high shelf, with a small chest. Inside are a scroll of Silence, a rusted hilt of a broken sword, and an amulet depicting an elf with the name "Meralue Auglatha."
