While it was an honor to be thought of when it came to such a matter as escorting a master blacksmith, it was also a very dangerous request that the party had never tried before. The real problem was that they were already preparing to leave for the deep sun hollow forest and would be gone for an unknown amount of time to gather information on the purple slime's plaguing the area.
"I would love to accept it, however, my party is not experienced in escort quests. We will also be away for some while; in the forest so we will not be able to accept other quests any time soon." The wandering blacksmith shook his head.
He poked Walker in his chest, "get stronger." This was not much to go on but it was enough to know that the wandering blacksmith wanted their party to get stronger before accepting this quest.
