Yes. He doesn't want to try anything too dangerous.
Ok thanks, I will try that!
Once you finish the peril quest you will need to talk to Thomas at his house. Then you need to find thurston at the tavern. Then you will need to pay his bar bill 25000 coins. Then you will get the Royal defender quest which you will need to buils a ballista which cost 50 woods and 50 iron ore. Also you will need to rally 60 stout knights to finish royal defender quest. That's where I'm at now. Hoping to get the sword quest soon.
