Well i got that magic female musk to calm the male owlbears but it kind of does not work - tried using it when a bunch of em tried to eat me, used it on their corpses - no result. Quest says i am to spray them - but how does that spraying supposed to happen is a total mystery.
BTW there is some ideological issue in the quest itself... The only way sprayed with female musk uncalmed males are to become calmed is that they pay much more attention to each other. Gay propaganda?
