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?))
"You've been expecting me?" Lucius asked, his expression confused as he tried to make sense of the old woman's words. He glanced at the cushion, then walked over and sat down. "I suppose I can tell you a little about myself," he said, taking a deep breath. "I'm Lucius... Lucius Oakheart, and I'm an adventurer. The reason I love going on adventures is because, when I was a teenager, exploring the outdoors gave me a feeling I'd never experienced before. It was like... comfort? A mixed feeling of thrill and happiness, something I hadn't known until then." He paused, taking another breath before continuing. "I wasn't in a great place back then, but the outdoors helped me realize that there’s a whole world out there waiting to be discovered." Lucius smiled brightly, the feeling of sharing his story had left him feeling nostalgic, it was quite evident on his face. But then, he cleared his throat, realizing how much he'd just shared with the old woman. "Uh, I... I think I need to go. Hopefully, we can meet again sometime." He stood quickly, giving a messy wave and a slightly embarrassed grin as he hurried out of the tattered tent.
