(Fast-forwarding then)
When the group left Gavton, they were only delayed by the occasional townsfolk who wanted them to stay simply because the group is such a novelty. But most townsfolk were nervous and are relieved to see the adventurers head to Gavenport.
When the group arrives in Gavenport, they are stopped by the gate guards and questioned, but eventually allowed in. The group gets a lot of stares and one man even throws away his booze, thinking he is so drunk he is seeing things. Eventually, guards come and accompany the group, saying that people are getting scared and having guards with the group will calm most of the city's people.
The group arrives at Gavenport's Town Hall and after some asking / insisting, they are granted audience with Lord Henry. Who has a most pleased look on his face upon seeing the team.
"Welcome! Welcome!" he says jovially. His voice seems to have a naturally high volume and carries through the room with ease.
"I was hoping someone would take initiative! And my goodness you bunch have several exotic people among you!"
He claps his hands together and says,
"Now let's get down to business! The task I have in mind for you all to do is recruitment. But before you dismiss it as a mundane task unworthy of your attention, I expect you bunch to make sure any potential recruits live up to your standards by taking each potential recruit with you on any quests you find in the places I'll be sending you! So, in a sense, I am hiring you all to do what you would be doing anyway, but with the added stipulation that you take potential adventurers with you on the tasks you would have been doing."
He hops out of his seat excitedly and trots over to a table with a map on it.
"I have multiple locations marked down on this map, as you can see. There, you will track down and test out any rumored potential adventurers."
He looks like he is barely containing his excitement. Like a kid in a toy store.
Pretty much looks like this:
