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.”
((How do you respond?))
"Oh... I didn't expect to be recognized," he stammers briefly, his eyes darting around the dimly lit tent. "Do I know you, huh?" He cautiously takes a seat on the cushion she gestures to, keeping his senses sharp.
"I hail from a quiet arid village," he begins, his voice steady but tinged with curiosity. "Life there was challenging. My parents, hardworking farmers, instilled in me a love for the land and its stories. My mother often spoke of distant lands, places with full of magic , much like this one. Little did I imagine I would find myself in such an intriguing town. As for my purpose here... it's a quest, a journey for answers, ." He pauses, his gaze locking with the old hag's. "But why were you expecting me?"
