Meanwhile at the bar...
Rincewind who tried to take a look inside and see if the innkeeper was even still alive, found himself right near the three dwarves when they threw out an orc. One of the dwarves bumped into Rincewind as he turned to go back inside the bar. The dwarf stopped and looked at Rincewind noticing his black leather attire.
"What'cha doin', ya thief? Ye be after me gold, ain't ye!?!"
"Who me? No, no, no, I would never dream about..." Rincewind tries to explain waving his hands frantically. The dwarf, however, is either too drunk or too overcome with blood lust to listen.
"Well, ye ain't gettin' any! Tis' my gold and ye can just bugger off!"
The dwarf took his hefty axe and swung it in an upside-down motion trying to chop Rincewind in half. Rincewind was no stranger to bar fights. Not because he liked hem, but because they were a long-time tradition at the Mended Drum and he just couldn't get away from them in time. He even had a special fighting technique for times like this. He called it... well, he never thought about enough to give it a name, but if he did it would be called The Trying To Stay Alive style. It consisted on dodging your opponent's attack with the speed only a well-honed fear for ones life can give and then striking at the more painful areas relying more on luck than anything else.
That was what he did this time as well. With one significant difference. This time it worked. Perfectly. Rincewind watched in astonishment as the dwarf in front of him fell over on the ground writhing in pain. He looked at his fist and a realization dawned upon him. His uncanny survival instincts coupled with the natural reflexes of his new body made him something he never dreamed of being - a rather adept fighter.
He raised his head and saw two other dwarves staring at him angrily with blood in their eyes. A quick question entered his thoughts with much the same effect a sharp needle enters a balloon - "Was he adept enough?"

With casual disdain, Broïndur threw the limp body onto a sturdy looking bush. It would keep untill they were done fighting.
Over the din of the fight and the buzzing of the flies, Broïndur noticed the ploping sound. He saw something that was definately artificial slowly sink in the murky swampwater. It was above where the spindly Orc had sliced one of the beasts. Suddenly Broïndur remembered tales from his land, where it was said that Dragons swallowed treasure, to aid their digestion some claimed. These Dragonflies were, as were Dragons back home, atracted to treasure, or in the case of these beasts shiny things. Therefor something valuable might have just dropped in the water.
Afraid he'd forget where, Broïndur dove for the place where the thing dropped. But midflight he saw that one of the large yellow ones did so as well, and the way he was going he'd fall right on top of it. Which suited Broïndur fine, slamming on it would surely hurt it, even if the water would absorb much of the impact. And he'd wrestle this one if need be, or drown it in the water.
With a great splash, Broïndur did just that. He bellyflopped where the thing fell in the water, with the yellow Dragonfly beneath his body.

Koto recognised the noice immediately, remembering the bars and taverns of back home, and how drunk people often got violent. Turning back to the old giant Koto hastily bowed and said "I thank you for saving my life old giant. My name is Koto of the Moon Clan. Should you ever need a favor or help from me or my clan, we will happily oblige. Now, if you'll excuse me." and with that, Koto ran of towards the bar.
"I got to find my friends!" Koto thought as he remembered Monto's greatest skill; getting into trouble. Monto would participate, if not cause, the bar fight.

Swamp Group:
Broïndur feels the beast thrashing under him. The water here is about half-calf deep, and with the Dragonfly splashing about he has trouble keeping swamp water out of his nose. To complicate matters it keeps trying to spit fire at him, but has difficulty doing so owing to the water. After a moment or two he manages to get its head underwater until it drowns, and by then the rest of the group have finished off the rest of the Dragonflies.
----------------
Rincewind:
The dwarves charge Rincewind as a unit; obviously they've fought together before, and have a reasonable amount of skill given that they pull this off when not terribly clear in their heads. One goes for his left and the other for his right.
----------------
Koto:
Near the entrance of the building that seems to be the source of the chaos, you see a burly, iron-clad giant laid out flat on the ground and a couple of red-bearded men close to your height double-teaming another giant in black leather.

Mat walked around the battle zone, poking through the muck to find his lost knife and crushing the skulls of the little monsters to make sure they were dead. Certain shadow-spawn like the myrdraal took a bit of killing before they realized they were actually dead... He recovered his knives and waited for his companions to get ready. "Now that wasn't too hard, was it?"

"Now that wasn't too hard, was it?"
"Yeah...", Grog replied to Mat,"...just messy."
Grog took some big leaf to clean his sword and himself and was ready to go in a minute.

Rincewind backs away, trying to keep both of the dwarves in his sight.
"Wait, wait, wait! I swerve that's not what it looks like!"
He looked at the third dwarf who is still lying on the ground, grabbing his private parts.
"... ok, so maybe it is what it looks like. But he attacked me! I just reacted... somehow." The dwarves didn't even slow down, "Look, I don't want any trouble. I was just passing through here and I would like to keep passing through if that's alright with you."
As Rincewind backed away he turned his head to his companion and hissed:
"Are you going to help me or just stand there and stare??"

Fandral was drinking a mug of ale that he managed to pilfer during the commotion. He cuckled at Rincewind as he fought off the dwarves, from his point of view the situation was more comical than dangerous.
"Worry not lad, I'm sure you've got it under control" Claimed Fandral while mockingly raising his drink in salute.

Tristan looked around, trying to find any more of the beasts, but noticed none. He took off his shield, dropping it into the water, and moved the free arm around a bit.
"That hurt some. I can go on, but I wonder what sort of medical technology this place has. I am not guessing it is very advanced."
He lifts his shield back up, and reequips it.

"Hey! You are a cleric! Use some of your magic to heal yourself!"
Grog knew what clerics do and what kind of magic they learn, but he also knew that Tristan, just like him, was not familiar with his new body.
"Ah, nevermind...", he mumbled as he threw the leaf away.

Tristan gave the orc an odd look.
"I am a cleric that can use magic to heal myself? I now know I can use magic. How do you know that I am a cleric, though?"
Tristan removed the spellbook from his pack again, and looked through it. He noticed the spell that came to mind in the battle again, and it still puzzled him a little. Though, at least he had a bit more an understanding of it. He looked at the other three spells that were in his book, one catching his eye. He gave it a shot, and his wound went away.
"So I can heal myself. That is handy."

Koto was just going to ignore the giant and the men fighting in the brawl, as none of them looked like anyone he knew, but then he heard a piece of conversation that made him reconsider.
"Wait, wait, wait! I swerve that's not what it looks like!"
"... ok, so maybe it is what it looks like. But he attacked me! I just reacted... somehow."
"Look, I don't want any trouble. I was just passing through here and I would like to keep passing through if that's alright with you."
It seemed the giant had been attacked by the three bearded men just because they were drunk. While nothing unusual, Koto was sure that if nothing was going to be done, the giant would for sure be taken down and be beat to a bloody pulp by the three men.
Sneaking up behind the two men who where up, Koto did what any good thief in his position would do; Kick them where it hurts and steal their wallets while their down!

Grog looked at Tristan once again.
"I think that you've figured that you're a cleric, now."
Grog tapped Broïndur on the shoulder.
"Let's continue."

"Maybe I am. Maybe I am not. I am not sure why me being able to heal myself qualifies me as being a cleric. Though, me figuring out what I am was not the question. I asked how you know me to be one of these clerics you keep calling me."

"Listen,", Grog put his hand on Tristan's shoulder and looked him in the eyes,"we can argue about this after we win the scavenger hunt. Now we must worry about these Dragonflies."

Rincewind was taken aback by Fandral's remark. His shock could've been the end of him if not for a little creature that probably decided to take advantage of the situation and was now going through the dwarves' possessions. Rincewind turned around and darted towards his companion, his face red with anger.
"Worry not!?! Under control!?! You spend all the night blubbering about your great adventures and when I'm getting attack you just sit there, having a drink!?! In my previous body I was a wizard who knew no spells. Now I'm apparently a thief who doesn't know anything about his trade. And I am still more of a wizard or a thief than you are an adventuring hero! Believe you me, I've met a few of them in my lifetime."

"I'm sure the bards would sing an epic ballad about the man who saved a little witch-thief from the fists of a few drunken dwarves" Fandral said smugly, and with a wide grin to finish off.
He then took another gulp of his drink while pointing at the charging dwarves, obviously indicating that more attention should be paid to them.

Rincewind looked back at the dwarves. Seems they little one only managed to barely slow them down.
"Right."
He quickly threw his hands forward, grabbed Fandral by his shirt and threw him into the charging dwarves. Or rather that was what he wanted to do. In reality, his lack of strength and Fandral's resistance to his action resulted in a weak shove. That, however, proved to be enough to collide Fandral with the dwarves. Rincewind used the confusion and darted into the inn, leaving the rest to resolve their problems without him.

Seeing the giant turn away to shout at his companion without as much as a "thank you" in Koto's direction made him somwhat irritated. "Hey! Giant, I dunno how customs are in this country, but where I come from it is usual to thank someone when they save your backparts from being dusted!" Koto started running towards the giant, putting the purses and his hands in a pockets, keeping close guard on them. Then he saw the giant he had saved wasn't really the nicest of persons, as he shoved his own friend at the attacking men before running away.
"With friends like that, who need enemies?!" Koto thought "Well, better help that other giant then!"
"Shadow Rope, Tene-Gara!" Koto whispered and stretched his right hand out, as to throw a lasso around the dwarves... But nothing happened. " Wha-? Shadow Rope, TENE-GARA!" Koto now shouted, and did the motion once more. But once more nothing happened, his taynikma, which for some reason was covered up in black clothing, did not even glow.
Koto froze in shock. "Why doesn't it work?!" he thought, but before he could think more about it, one of the beard-faces was charging straight towards him. Instinctively, Koto dodged by rolling out to the side, tripping the man in the process. The beard-face now found himself rolling uncontrollably into the nearest wall, knocking him out as he hit it.
