Despite the presence of a giant kimogila, the compound was cleared of droids and animals. There was no sign of the staff of the compound, until the kimogila's carcass was cut open, revealing the remains of Mr. Retoodi's staff. How they ended up partially digested, if they were attacked by the kimogila, or killed and fed to the beast, or fed to the animals alive, is not clear at this point.
