Being a goblin, I imagine Maelicent would prefer to keep nighttime hours, but has been making an effort to come into town during the day while searching for adventurers. Consequently he'll have little problem with simply working late into the night. When he finally gets tired he'll simply sleep in the stables; it's likely a better shelter then he's been keeping for the past few months anyways. I figure he'll probably rise sometime around noon the next day.
For the first step, Maelicent will use the proffered rope to truss the carcasses and focus on separating the parts he wants to keep; the chitin, fur, skulls and sinew from all the gristle and gore he intends to dispose of later. He'll also keep a few of the useful fluids (such as the oils and blood) in buckets for later use. That'll probably take a good while. Setting the skulls to boil as early as possible would probably be best since they'll likely take a good while to come clean. It'd be great if he could use a large pot in the kitchen's hearth for that so he'd probably ask Vaja and Frane for permission to do so before they turn in. Stretching the hides would probably be one of the last things he'd do before turning in; sometime around 4 am or so.
When he finally gets up he can check on his materials. Hopefully the local vermin will have helped by chewing away some of the meaty bits off of the chitin. Either way he'll spend some final time scouring a few plates and leg segments with sand and water. That'd then be a good time to take a few ready samples and try visiting the local craftsmen and apothecaries to gauge the interest and value of what he's got. That'd probably take a few hours during the afternoon. Later he'll head back to the stables and continue his cleaning and scraping work assuming he's lined up some good trades for the stuff. Hopefully a second night of work will be enough to get most of the job finished. One other thing he'd like to do is work on his overcoat by dieing it in the demons' blood and setting it to dry. Later that second day, assuming everything is ready, he'd be able to deliver the materials around town for the agreed upon trades.
Maelicent doesn't really have a contingency plan since he doesn't know when or if anything else will next occur. If something happens to interrupt his work then he'll likely stop at whatever point he's reached and deal with it while planning to resume his work when next possible. It seems that the others are all involved in simply chasing down NPCs to talk and truth be told, Maelicent isn't really anxious to get involved in that sort of business right away. Listening to Voadam has given the little guy quite the headache.

I just posted Voadam's theories about Dter/Chev and how they might relate to the current situation with the Rod.
