Pulling an old, wooden cart - patched with planks here and there - does not seem like a task a man with humble, lean body might perform easily - but somehow he managed to bring the supplies to villagers. Boxes and small pouches of herbs, bottles and vials of odorous potions (similar to those usually used by clerics to help with poisonings) tinkled on the cart while the man was chaotically moving around looking for a suitable place. Finally he set the cart close to the fire camp near the center of the village. A few villagers joined him at the fireplace. While he was talking about his journey along River Chiontar, about wolves marauding at night, about the catfish he caught (and how to prepare it with garlic and honey) and so on, and so forth, curious kids browsed through the goods (fortunately they didn't break anything).

There seems to be an understanding among the locals that these newcomers are not for hunting, and they might warn travelers and adventurers against harming those animals as they are under the protection of the Druid of Greenest. It's expected the convalescing creatures will be returned to their old home soon or relocated to a new habitat, anyway.

In either regard, it does not seem out of spite or malice as the loses are more in line with sustenance hunting for a small group. While the trapper is clearly skilled, using primarily snares and spikes along with some residual baleful energies, they are clearly not as apt at concealing the evidence of their passage and could be traced to the tavern on the outskirts of Greenest.

A glade had been cleared of the snares and traps, warded now with patches of entangling vines and dense vegetation. Hunter snares left elsewhere on the Uldoon Trail have apparently been left alone.

Another day passes, before in apparent rebuttal a number of the wards are quelled and their vegetation returned to the natural state. Fauna that remain within the boundary of the glade are left untouched, but a single wooden trap is lain within a particularly dense area of the entangling vines well away from where it might be idly discovered.

The device is nonfunctional, having been one of the previous disassembled deliveries, and has found new utility as a crude but accurate merchant's scale with a small placard. Brushed on in ink that resists water and weather are the words "For your consideration" and marked with a foreign lotus flower, while the scale is perfectly balanced while holding an out-of-season hazelnut on each arm. One seed is blackened with rot and necrosis, the other sprouts with both a green shoot and a yellowed fungal bloom.
