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?))
"This place sure has a distinct smell, doesn't it?" He steps back out of the tent, glances around to ensure no one is nearby or listening, then re-enters and closes the tent flap. After standing there for a moment, he walks over, takes a seat, and leans back. "So, you're the one I'm supposed to meet. Well, here's my story."
I was born in a secluded village nestled deep within a dense forest, where I spent my entire life. Our small tribe was dedicated to protecting our home from any threats. Although a few attackers tried to breach our defenses, our relentless vigilance kept them at bay. Growing up, I only knew the same faces, and life became monotonous. Once I reached adulthood, I felt a burning desire to explore the world beyond our village. I set out on a journey that lasted about a year, during which I encountered a myriad of fascinating individuals. Some offered their assistance, while others attempted to rob me. Despite the challenges, I followed a winding path that eventually led me here. And now, my adventure continues as I stand before you.
