AT_V

You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? she begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”

((How do you respond?))

First, I look around and make sure it is just the two of us. Outside the tent the wind blows almost as if it knows I am already afraid. I look back at her and say "I dont have much of a story I am just passing through" She laughs and insist I give her more information or I "will not pass" as she says almost snarling at me. I say "Fine. I am looking for someone in the across the swamp I need to pass through and get to the bridge." She ask me "Who are you looking for?" smiling with her rotten teeth, almost matching her personality. I tell her "No one important." But she knows I am lying and waits - the silence was deafening so I said "Ok I am lookling for the man who killed my father when I was 15, he ruined my chance in the bloodline and since then I have been running.." I pause, almost teary eyed I whisper "but now is time for redemption" She promises me she can help with her magic and potions, but now it is time I go - i can find another way on the bridge. I do not trust this witch.
