Meche listened to Rowan's response quietly and respectfully. The subject of payment for the services was immediately brought up. As expected from a group of freelance adventurers. "Yes, payment is an issue that needs to be worked out. The methods will be up to my superiors as that's outside my command. Hopefully with this issue we can get more funding authorized by the mayor. Alternatively, we might get funds from the festival visitors and merchants setting shop there" She said to him.

"What time is this hunting party? I'll make sure we send in a group with your adventurers to give this a test run. I think it'll be important as well as interesting to see what adjustments would be made to ensure they work together well. Also if you don't mind mind, would you be ok if they would take a detour from patrol to help investigate the area, or at least have the guards temporarily break apart to poke around for clues?" Meche added after a pause.

As she waited for his response she was taking mental notes of what to relay. It was gonna be another long talk at the HQ as her superiors settled this. She had a feeling that they would be able to secure extra funding, especially given how big this festival is to the town as well as just the general threat to the town's interest to let this problem go untreated. Hopefully they'd be able to secure enough funding to be amenable for the guild master and his members. Her mind drifted on going to the inn and getting a drink, it already was a long day for her and she just wanted to relax after what would be a day full of talking.
