Dialogue

“	The Snake Staff, which you were relying on to aid Hanth in wrestling the Three Hungers, has disappeared. Dresta sniffs the air and says "A fox spirit was here. It must be the First Hunger." Send Hanth after it immediately. Send Hanth after calling spirits. Send Hanth after equipping a full party. Send Hanth after invoking Dostal. Forget the staff as a lost cause.	”

Consequences

At start of event, the Snake Staff treasure is lost.

If you sent Hanth immediately, he likely follows Little Hunger back to its lair and dispatches of it, retrieving the stolen staff. Mood improves and the Snake Staff reclaimed.

Notes

This event may also happen with Hanth's son, Hanvan, or Dresta's daughter, Doresa, instead.
