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.”
"..." The solemn faced orc didn't even register what was said to him. He instead gestured to the old hag's bag, as he pointed to it. "Gogrog hungry! Feed Lognog, or he make do with human-meat." His surprisingly goblin-like nose twitched in frustration - Or was that hunger? Seems the green skin was a bit thin, not used to the swamp before him. "Salt meat preferred. Wine. Humans make good wine." With a thump he'd seat himself, not afeared of his situation.
When given the wine and food, he’d look towards it. Suspecting the hag to be some sort of witch, he’d bite into the food to make sure it wasn’t simply painted rocks. Once established to be edible, only then did Gogrog speak. “Me from… Far away land. I own dragon, though he not with Gogrog now. You must…” After clearly lying, he took a brief pause. With this pause he drank the wine given to him, though it was closer to inhaling than anything a normal person could muster. “You must bring more.” Gogrog took a large snap at the food given to him, as it vanished down is sickly gullet swiftly. “Wine! Now!”
unexpectedly, Gogrog Lognog *has* no story. All he could chalk up to his story would simply be him talking about how he's always running amiss from orc gang to orc gang, employed only due to his green skin by fellow patriotic kinsmen. Though often made fun of for his orange, fiery hair(which he views as unbecoming of an orc), he made do by being bigger than most of the other tuskers. Lognog the Log, they called him, for being as thick and dumb as one. Though he'd never admit this to a supposed hag!
