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?))
Jacque cautiously steps forward, avoiding the damp patches on the ground as he sat down on the cushion. The flickering candlelight casts eerie shadows across the hag’s face, but he holds his ground, locking eyes with her.
He begins, his voice low but steady. “I was just passing through, looking for answers. There’s something about this town... it feels like it’s pulling me in, even if I don’t understand why. People say that the land itself holds secrets. I’ve come to find those secrets. But it seems like maybe you already know something about them.”
He pauses watching her closely. “You said you’ve been expecting me. What does that mean?”
