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?))
Example:
"I'm.....a worker, i-" She pauses and hesitates, "I work fields, wherever they need to be tended," she pauses again, this time for a while, "so... i travel and...help" she chokes down a swallow and force an uneasy smile. As silence continues she breaks it again "My father was Hasbold Worther, he was a fisherman for 40 years, I barely saw him as a child... I saw my mother even less. She left when I was 4 she left....or...disappeared, I was never told the full story, i still seek the truth of this matter." She pauses, "My father died 3 months ago, the ship his ship he was on got caught in a gale and capsized....Everybody died. I had to sell my childhood home just to stay out of debt,now I live in any place that will feed me." She finishes
