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:
"Oh, I just, uh…" you stutter, tensing up. You eye the crone, then back outside the tent. For a moment, the air thickens with anticipation, until…
"My name is Althanis. I come from a distant land, Haelun'or, though I suppose you already know that, considering you were expecting me."
Althanis takes a seat.
"My reasons for coming here are as mundane as anyone else's. My desire is adventure, for I have nothing left in my homeland."
Relaxed, Althanis looks his hostess in the eye.
"And I don't wish to explain my personal situation, so please don't ask. That aside, my desire is to increase my knowledge of the outside world. Beyond that, I have yet to discover it for myself."
