easy quest but im not sure if it was a glitch or not ,but i got a debuff for nature damage every second that didn't end till i finished the quest. It was called boil back and hit me for 41 k avg on top of whats attacking you so i made sure to get it done asap
Oddly enough Jale Rivermane comments (after you finish the quest) that even the hides are unusable, despite the corpses being just as skinnable as the normal bears.
