Your character has just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As they look around, their gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. They 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?))

"Good evening ma'am, I appreciate the hospitality you have shown me by allowing me to stay here to prepare before I leave for my journey. My name is Altan Kalahari and I'm 20 years old. I recently left my desert tribe to journey to the Kingdom of Balian to start a new life and make a name for myself. When I used to live in my desert tribe. I have wanted to do something greater in my life ever since I was a kid and read about the knights in the Balian Kingdom. My childhood was great other than that our tribe was very poor and food has always been scarce. As a kid, I read a lot about swordsmanship and wanted to learn how to use a sword and protect others like in the stories I read as a child. Ever since I turned 15, I've been training myself in swordsmanship to protect the village as I had to step up when I got old enough since it was part of our tradition. When I turned 19, I left home to make money and come back to revitalize our struggling tribe. Finally, a year later I arrived at this small village, and in a few days I should arrive at the Balian Kingdom I hope to join the military as I've heard it is a great way to make money and I pride myself in protecting those who cannot protect themselves."
