"Sorry for getting held up. We were doing a little investigating on why people aren't crossing the bridge." Walker greeted Herder who was already resting by the fore with the white bull behind him.
"I thought you would find the answers, so what is the damage? Will I make my delivery on time?" Herder was worried that he would not make his deadline and lose out on the full payment he needed.
"We should be fine, my party took the quest to slay the orcs that are causing the problem. But if you want to wait a day or so I won't push you to go. I am sure that my party will miss a few of them so there will still be a danger." Walker didn't want Herder to be convinced that it was a perfectly safe trip.
"Then we will leave out with you. I can handle myself fairly well. I am more interested in why you took a quest when it was out of your way. You look like you have other places to be." Herder had noticed that the party was very motivated in their pace and was always moving.
