His tone would then slip into a more serious one and continue, "But it's understandable to not want to set in now. I doubt any of us had made the preparations for venturing in yet."

There was a pause as he then looked at everyone else to make sure that they knew he was addressing all of them. "We can discuss this inside of the inn if that's more comfortable. But my proposition is simple, I'm looking to hire out people to accompany me into the forest. Aaannnd to sweeten the deal, I'll also be offering my services free of charge." He'd say. "So what do you say? Any takers?"
