HangerG

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?))

Example: "Expecting me?" as he looks around the area for any people, but it appears no one is around "didn't know there were people following me, quite unsettling." sighs as he sits down "regardless, I'm just a traveller, trying to escape from these god forsaken forests." as his face turns slightly unhappy "god I hate this greenery, to think of it, I grew up around trees" as he looks up "never really learned to like the so called "beauty" of them, its just a trees, grass, there is nothing special about it, yet my brethren seems to think otherwise, like it holds some kind of special religious power, wouldn't say they are the brightest of the elves. I was a special case in my community, my mom was a wood elf and my dad a high elf, making me somewhere in between, dark hair but pale skin, quite a stand out, was never really liked by the other wood elves, can't really figure out why, some say because of my "prideful" behaviour, but hey can't please them all nor do I want to. I find, at very least, wood elves to be rather boring people to engage with.

After some while of describing why he would rather live in a volcano than to further live in a forest hut he eventually changes his thematic of the talk, he does this quite a lot

"Anyways, I'm travelling to meet new people, as little as I had engagement with humans, I find them to be a lot more fun, with their small lives they do seem to have a lot of adventures to tell and grander ambitions they want to fulfil than your average elf. I took the journey from my home just so I can finally see proper cities of cut stone and metal with my own eyes, maybe even provide my talents to the people, I am quite a good marksman and also have a good way with hands, learned craftsmanship from my dad."

he continues to talk, but none of it is really of importance...
