Step 7Return to Sophya
Bring the trophies to Sophya Mercenary Captain: 35 Adena each, plus Lion's Claw - 1 for 20-49 trophies, 2 for 50-99, 3 for 100 or more. Exchange 10 claws with Sophya for supplies: 
Soulshot: D-grade for fighters, 
Spiritshot: D-grade for mages, 
Scroll of Escape and potions. Cargo boxes are opened by Redfoot. If you leave the troop, Sophya takes back the Black Lion Mark and pays 12,400 Adena.
Instead of opening Cargo Boxes, you can hand them to Morgan Guildsman in Dion: he pays 100 Adena and a 
Guild Coin for each box, 200 Adena once you have 40 coins and 300 Adena from 80 coins. The "Do you have any useful information?" option at Redfoot Mercenary does not help with this quest: for 200, then 400 and 600 Adena he tells a random story about other quests and NPCs, and after three times he has nothing new.
