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?))
As he steps into the tent, his boots sink into the damp earth, the scent of rotted wood thick in the air. The flickering candlelight casts uneasy shadows along the tattered fabric, and the old hag’s gaze lingers on him, sharp and knowing. He hesitates for only a moment before lowering himself onto the worn cushion she gestures to. "Expecting me?" he mutters, his voice rough from the long journey. His cloak, damp from the swamp mist, clings to his shoulders. He does not meet her eyes at first, glancing around the dimly lit space, as if searching for reassurance. "I have traveled far," he says with a low tone. "My village was lost to flames, my family scattered to the wind. There is no home left for me, only the road beneath my feet." His fingers tighten slightly around the fabric of his sleeve. "If you have been expecting me, then perhaps you know something I do not. A purpose? A direction? Because I have yet to find one myself."
PS pls this is my third time
