Lena glanced at him with a look that was somewhere between impressed and amused. "Enough that you'll be very glad you took this job. Sit tight, and we'll have an appraiser examine it right away."
As she gestured for a guild staff member to fetch the appraiser, Oliver turned to Isolde with a wide grin.
"See? Totally worth it."

Lena led them down a hallway branching off from the main guild hall, her professional tone returning though her steps were a bit quicker than before.
"This way," she said. "The appraisal chamber will give us enough space. Please bring out all your monsters here — it'll be easier for the appraisers to inspect everything at once."
Oliver grinned at Isolde. "Ready?"
Isolde shrugged. "If you're about to make a spectacle, might as well make it a good one."
The chamber was a large, open room with reinforced floors and faint glowing wards etched into the stone — no doubt designed to withstand even heavy monster carcasses.
