Yeah, I've done it too. If you do it again, you get another 25g. I was bored one night and went and found the other guy who lets them out (he's near Chantal the Troubador), but he didn't say much. No more quests from him either.
On a side note, if you wander around and talk to random NPC's repeatedly, you hear some interesting things. I can't remember what all of it was because I did this several weeks ago, but the Ashford Villagers have their own mini-soap opera going on. Not as racy as the TV ones though...
