Hey, you can't always find treasure in liquid assets. Sometimes to get your shinies you have to deal with uncooperative material goods. Like carrying off a large golden statue, or in this case baby sitting bitey little baby owlbears. Would baby owlbears by cubs or chicks? Anyway there is no other treasure for this encounter, so if you want to toss away nine thousand gold, because you can't be bothered to baby sit, go right ahead.
