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?))
Example:
In the dimly lit tent, the elf shares a darker chapter of his past with the crone. "Once, I was a soldier, a family man. We ventured out with friends to secure food for our village. Little did we know, fate had a cruel twist waiting for us."
The elf's voice trembles as he recounts the tragic turn of events. "When we returned, our homes were engulfed in flames. My wife and child, lost to the merciless fire. The village, in grief and anger, blamed us for our ill-timed absence."
A heavy silence hangs in the air, the weight of loss palpable. "It wasn't a misunderstanding. I was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and my family paid the price," the elf adds, his eyes haunted by the memories.
The crone's gaze deepens with empathy, understanding the cruel hand fate dealt. "Cast out by the very people I sought to protect, I wandered, burdened by the weight of grief and unjust blame."
The wind outside whispers a mournful tune, echoing the sorrow within the tent. The user, a silent observer, witnesses the unfolding tragedy, feeling the heartache of a life shattered by circumstances—a participant in the rich tapestry of this fantastical world, where each character holds a story, and destiny unfolds in the dance of shadows and moonlight
