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.”
Answer:
"You know me?", asked Dolrid, "Even in my home town most people don't recognise me."
He tries to study her face, but he can't figure out who the old hag is.
A bit reluctant at first, he sits down infront of her and begins to talk about himself.
"Oh, I am no one special. I'm just a scientist, nothing more.", he said while looking at the surrounding buildings outside of the tent.
Being quite suprised by the answer the hag asked, "What would a man with such knowledge do in these parts of the land?"
As Dolrid rummaged through his backpack he said, "I'm just passing through this filthy place because I'm looking for some samples I need."
He pulled a selfmade map out of his bag and rolled it out infront of the hag.
He pointed to his current location on the map and asked "Have you per chance seen any slimes near this area?"

Backstory:
Dolrid prefers to live on his own, he has trouble fitting in since he was a child. Thus he prefers to live on his own and research the mysteries of nature, that have fascinated him for as long as he could think. You'd be lucky to spot him anywhere near towns.
