As you wait for the others to finish cleaning up, the hunter and his son start bringing carcasses that still have good meat and skins on them into the yard and butcher area of the hut. For all the damage the maggots appeared to have done, there is actually a fair amount of salvagable product to the trained hunter.
"Thank you for you help. Another half a day, and we would have had more giant flies on our hands. Instead, the problem seems to have to been dealt with, for now at least, and my partner and I have a nice pile of meat and and skins to sell thanks to the maggots' work. If you wait until I can get a complete inventory, I will send a list of the skins with you back to Adolfo so he can plan accordingly."
By the time the party has finished cleaning up,Mr. Sarasu's partner has arrived, and though surprised to see the maggots, jumps in and between the two experienced hunters and the hunter in training, they have the most of the savable meat in the smoker and have started stretching the hides on the various racks that outlined the yard.
After another round of thanks, Mr. Sarasu gives you a list, and you head back the way you came. The trip back is uneventful except for some drunks who temporarily think you are there to take down their still, and you get back to the Broken Log as the sun is starting to set. It it full this time with the supper crowd, and Adolfo is busy when you walk in so he tells you to wait at the bar until he has finished. Somehow the entire bar already knows what you did with the maggots, so a number of people offer to buy you a round of drinks while you wait.
When Mr. Savi finally gets to you, he takes you up to a private room upstairs which is clearly an temporary office space for him. "Thank you for helping. I know that such tasks aren't glamorous, but they are what keeps us in business. From the list you brought back, it sounds like they were able to take advantage of the situation and should have quality hides to sell us. While I normally don't pay until delivery, I trust their judgment, and you deserve something for your efforts." He pulls out a locked box from under his bed, and hands each of you 15 platinum before putting it back. "Very briefly, the reason I asked for your assistance is that I need to make a trip to Tritower to talk to the owner of an abandoned estate just up the road to see if I can't convince him to sell it to us. Along the way, I also want to scout out good hunting spots, so the trip will take a good solid week even on horseback. There are villages and inns along the way that we will stay at whenever possible, and I will pay for your food and lodging on those occasions, as well as any other food required for the trip. If you wish to do some shopping before we leave, I still have some business to wrap up, and so won't be able to leave until tomorrow mid morning, so you should have time to do so either tonight or tomorrow morning. Thank you for bringing the horses out; that made it much easier for both myself and Theo. Until tomorrow morning, you are free to stay here and mingle with the locals before getting some sleep or, as I said before you can go shopping. Either way, if you can be ready by mid to late morning tomorrow, we can be on our way."
