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?))
"uhhhmmm, youve been expecting me?" I say as I eye the dingy old tent, my eyes dart from candle to candle, a visible confusion on my face. My eyes dart back to the old woman, I sit as she requests, "M-*coughs* My story?" I say holding myself back from vomiting due to the horrid stench. "Well, I grew up in a small town, where * cough cough* everyone knew everyone. Nothing happened without everybody else knowing about it. We were all like family, I specifically remember one time when we all gathered as a town to break bread." I look down at my feet and my face fills with dread and sorrow. " Sadly. . . Sadly this all was short lived, b-because one day, we were raided, by a group of bandits. A group of goblins and orcs alike, nonetheless. . . they were ruthless. Nearly slaughtering every single one of us, for nothing but entertainment and gold( whatever currency is used )." I visibly tear up slightly, holding it in as to not embarrass myself in front of the kind old hag. " I despise them, all the goblins and orcs. They are all the same, nothing will change that. They are all deranged sociopaths, and they only care about themselves" I say as I obviously rile myself up. " Anyways, 2 others and I survived. They left me to do their own thing, about 2 years ago. I believe they were going to try and build a tavern, where all were welcome. Anyways I'm getting sidetracked, we traveled miles and miles. Exploring, Hunting, Surviving, we did everything you could imagine. It was some of the most fun in my lifetime. I learned how to survive by myself, I grew up, I got stronger. I came here to live somewhat of a peaceful life again." I say with passion and a smile on my face. " I want to settle down, and protect those I care about with this newfound strength!" I almost yell out whole-heartedly."Well, I guess you could say that's my story, I want to protect those who cant protect themselves, I'll live on for my village. . . For my parents. . . For my little sister. . ." I say slowly getting quieter towards the end, but never less determined.
