Yeah, I observed the same thing, saw Valmiro's escort on the board before fighting the hydra, but when I fought the hydra and came back, the quest was gone. Tried giving Valmiro some gifts in the thought that maybe his affinity had decayed below the limit, but the quest still didn't come up.

5,000 gold and 3,000 affinity at the very beginning of the game's not an unwelcome bonus, and Cassardis to Warrior's Departure is a completely hassle-free escort (as long as it's day you probably won't run into a single goblin if you follow the road) so I'd recommend getting this quest done before the hydra if you've got 2 minutes to spare.
