Rincewind:
Rincewind makes it to the Town Hall without incident; the closest he comes to trouble is witnessing a couple of the men in uniform from the bar grumbling about having lost the blonde.
He unsurprisingly isn't the only one to converge on the place: small groups of adventurers—recognizable as such as most of them are armed or armored to some degree, where the townsfolk are wearing normal clothes—have gathered and continue to gather outside the Town Hall, where a very makeshift stage has been erected. After a while, Rincewind sees his fellows from the ship who went off Dragonfly hunting arrive, a sheath of bloody corpses over the orc's shoulder.
----------------
Swamp group:
The group hears the nearby buzzing of Dragonflies once during the trip, but they don't show themselves and you eventually make it out of the swamps and back over to the Town Hall, where a small crowd has gathered around a 'stage' of boards and barrels. Most of those gathered are obviously adventuring sorts, and a few look like they've been fighting recently—there isn't much blood, but you see a good deal of bruising on some faces, more than one split lip and the occasional broken nose. There are a few townsfolk present, but they seem to be there mostly to observe, as they tend toward the fringes of the crowd.

Rincewind waved to his companions and moved closer to them.
"Good. You made it in time. And I see you got quite the load of those little buggers... whatever they are."

((Regardless of Tsar-Ivor's answer(cause it really does not affect all that much other than the target), this is what Koto does))
Quietly, but with slight haste, Koto entered the tavern. The insides were a mess, but it seemed the barkeeper had been able to recruit some help from the patrons with the clean-up. A quick look around the room revealed no mug that was not in pieces, as Koto had already guessed. The only place one could find a whole mug would have to be behind the counter. The barkeepers attention elsewhere, Koto snuck through to the other side, the giant size of the furniture helping him go unnoticed. And as predicted, there were quite a few whole mugs still left in the counter. Grabbing one, Koto took a quick look around before filling it with ale from a nearby tap, then he exited the way he came from and back out to the giant.
((If all goes well, and Fandral did not want the ale himself))
Outside, Koto chugged down the small amount of ale he had taken the time to fill. Chucklingly, he walked over to Fandral.
((If all goes well and Fandral did want the ale himself, then Koto filled the mug full but took but a small portion for himself))
"Here is your mug, Mr. Giant. What now?" He asked and handed the mug to the giant.

"These'd be Dragonflies and we've killed 17 so far. How'd you do trying te earn yerselves some coin in the inn?" Broïndur replied, breathing slightly heavier then normal.

Rincewind coughed uncomfortably.
"Heh, yeah the inn... funny story there, there was this huge bar fight there and we were kind of busy making sure we get out of there with all our teeth still in our mouths... But the other guy is still there, maybe he'll get luckier."
Rincewind smiled optimistically on the outside and prepared for the worst on the inside. Some people say that it's what's on the inside that matters. At this moment Rincewind's experience told him that they were right and his legs instinctively got ready to run.

Grog was a bit disappointed that he didn't catch himself a Dragonfly, but he could do that after the Scavenger Hunt, so he didn't have to worry about that.
"How are we going to distribute the gold?", Grog asked Orc companion.

"How are we going to distribute the gold?" Broïndur heared Grog ask behind him.
"Aye, that's a matter we'll need te talk about when we're all tegether."
Horns and trumpets blared blared and it certainly seemed as though the speech was about to commence. The crowd eyed the ramshackle podium to a man.
"And we will, as soon as the speech is given. Now be quiet, I want te hear this."

Mat gave the skittish man a glace before slinging his stave over his shoulders and turning to watch the podium. Nervous little thief isn't he? Probably stole something from someone in that fight he mentioned and is hoping that his victim doesn't find him...

"We should probably head over to the town hall now, and see what all this fuss is about"
Koto nodded "I agree, this scavenge hunt sounds interesting." Koto started to walk fast towards the town hall.
((And thus the party have been able to gather once more))

All (Koto and Fandral arrive just as this portion begins):
There is a stir by the makeshift stage, and the rich nobleman some of the party has seen before steps onto it, accompanied by his herald, a bald man in judge's robes, two bodyguards and—tailing the rest of the part by a few steps—Ichabod, the scribe with crooked teeth. The weight is sufficient that the makeshift stage creaks worryingly.
The herald bangs his staff on the wood planking for silence, and proclaims in a loud voice:
"His Grace, Lord Markham, Duke of the Western Lowlands!"
The herald steps back, and Lord Markham, smiling broadly, steps forward. "Hear ye, hear ye, the Emerald Island Scavenger Hunt is about to begin!"
Whispering throughout the crowd stops, to be replaced by scattered cheers, and even the sourest and foulest-tempered of those assembled can manage a few satisfied and self-confident smiles.
"Welcome, all of you, to my little contest here on Emerald Island. I am deeply heartened to see so many of you here to compete, and I hope that all of you will enjoy yourselves, even if you don't win. Your task, for the prize of Castle Harmondale and the lands surrounding it, is simple: you will retrieve seven items from on and around the island, and bring them to Judge Thomas" Lord Markham claps the man in robes hard on the shoulder, and the latter visibly tries not to stagger "at the Town Hall. The first of you to retrieve all seven items will be named Lords of Harmondale. The items you will require to win are as follows:
A potion of Cure Wounds—"
(Several parties of adventurers immediately start digging through packs and whispering to themselves, most sounding excited. One or two near the fringes start edging away from the crowd, clearly wanting to take off right away but hesitant to do so before the speech is over.)
"—A shark tooth—"
(Multiple heads flick over to the docks, then back to Lord Markham.)
"—a ceremonial item of some kind from the Temple of the Moon—"
(A little confused muttering breaks out at this, mostly along the lines of 'What temple?' 'There's a Temple of the Moon here?')
"—an elven longbow—"
(An obviously-elven archer nearby smirks.)
"—a piece of glass from the island lighthouse—"
(Gazes shift north this time, though not as many as turned to the docks.)
"—a compass—"
(More muttering.)
"—and a spell tome of some kind.
Those of you who can read can retrieve a written list of the items from Penscratcher here."
(It's the scribe's turn to receive a too-hearty clap on the shoulder and he winces.)
"Now, I hope that all of you will participate in the spirit of fair play—"
(More than one shifty-eyed adventurer in the audience scans their neighbors at this.)
"—and I also hope you will all comport yourselves in a dignified and respectable manner for the remainder of the contest."
(This is a scolding for the bar brawl and all but the thickest of the audience members know it.)
"That said, enjoy yourselves. Let the contest begin!"

As Lord Markhan begins listing off the items that they will need to acquire, Tristan nudges Mat, and asks if he could borrow one of his knives. Should one be handed over, Tristan will try and make light markings into the back of his wooden shield, writing down the listed items.
Whether or not he was able to get the markings into his shield, he goes to get one of the written lists mentioned.

Mat handed a knife to Trist. "I'll want that back eventually..." He muttered, making a mental list. Though Cauthon was not able to bloody read or flaming write write very well (At least according to "Little Miss Queen Of The World" Elaine), he did have a good memory for words.

Tristan returns with the list he obtained from the scribe. After he returns he gives it a quick look over, but gives up on it, for now, and puts it away. He hands the dagger back to Mat.
"Thanks. Now, perhaps we should turn in those things, so we can afford a way to prepare ourselves for this hunt."

Broïndur listened intently, when the talk of payment stirred him out of his contemplation.
"Aye, we do need te collect our bounty, but afore we do that we need te be havin' a discussion with the entire group. About our strategy and our funds among other things. But I dinnea care for snoopers, so we'd be best havin' this discussion in private."
Having little doubt that the rest of the group would follow, Broïndur started of for a more secluded spot.

"Hey! There's your friend!" Koto pointed at Rincewind "And those guys he is talking with, more friends of yours?" Koto looked questioning up on the friendly giant "Anyway, lets go see what's up." And off towards the group Koto went "Hey, Mean Giant, how are you?!" Koto shouted at Rincewind when he was within earshot.

Fandral was contemplating on how to answer the little imp, but before he could open his mouth, he bounced away toward the group. Fandral followed eagerly to see what the group's thoughts were, regarding the items.

Rincewind glanced at the little fellow.
"Look, I told you, I am not a giant... at least I wasn't the last time I checked. Anyway, we wanted to talk in private if you don't mind."
He turned back and followed the green fellow with the dragonflies on his shoulder.
