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 just, uh…" he stuttered, looking at the old lady for a second to then look around trying to remember what had happened, yet just simple little details came to mind "I... I don't remember much... I know I was born in some sort of human kingdom, the name isn't clear on my mind" he said still trying to think as he spoke "Uhm... I remember my mother Iasis and my father Uxean... I remember they made me and my siblings use masks to keep us safe from my father's off record activities" he said clearly referring to some sort of crime "We were happy, altho that didn't last much... my father was accused of the murder of a some a.... noble maybe? that part ins't clear... my family was hunted and executed for my father's crimes so my mother took me and ran away, I was a small child to all of this... I don't remember where she took me, yet she didn't let me go outside, she grew to be scared of the world, and thought it would be safer for me to stay locked up" he took a moment to think again then going back to the story "She then became sick... and died on bed after I tried to take care of her following her instructions" he clearly remembered this part as it didn't happen too long ago "After her death my only option was to venture outside, but I got lost and thats how I ended up here" he said to bring closure to the story "You said you were expecting me......."
