Deal

The group obviously accepted, so they first looted the corpses and then proceeded to make their way back through the forest.

Albeit it's called looting... there was nothing much to loot in the first place. The vermin had no money and there was no hope in selling the rags and branches used as armours and weapons.
They still collected the goblin and babooches ears as Cherry said they could exchange them for money at the guild, so 24 ears later they were about done.

If there was a winner among them, it was Niah'la. The girl found many Vananas on the babooches corpses and took them all, beaming and boasting about the love fruits she got.

It was like so that they made their way out the forest and began the trip back to town while counting how much gold they earned from their trip.

15 Vivingeer Roots. 24 vermin ears. This meant 39 golden coins, plus another 6 as escort fee from cherry... 45 golden coins! They really hit the jackpot with their first quest.
