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?))
Nissa slowly turns her head to look at the cushion gestured to by the old hag, then gently moves over to take a seat. She pauses for a moment, thoughtfully piecing her words together, then meets the old hag's gaze and smiles politely before beginning her explanation. She starts, "I have come from an old home in a small corner of the forest in search of knowledge, adventure and a place to form a new life," She pauses for a moment, considering what other information she should provide to the woman; Nissa often has trouble understanding social cues and the expectations of others, but after a few minutes of quiet consideration she decides to continue, "My previous home was in such a small area that it was stifling.. I am searching for somewhere with more room to grow. Somewhere to settle in and start my own little apothecary. I want to learn more and be able to help other people." Having spoken her piece to the woman, she begins to stare up towards the candles suspended in the air, and begins to welcome a warm daydream of the life she hopes to build.
