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?))
"Aye, the journey to this murky corner of the world has been a tad more adventurous than a stroll through the mountains, I must say. But as fortune would have it, I found meself drawn to this tattered tent of yours." Lynheid catches the old hag's gaze, her eyes like twin lanterns piercin' the mist. She lowers herself onto the cushion and begins to speak.
"Ye've an aura of wisdom and ancient knowledge about ye, crone," she begins, her voice steady despite the intrigue in her words. "Lynheid Hammerfist's the name, a dwarf of the mountains and a humble barkeeper at Hammerfist's Alehouse. I've served ale to kings and listened to the tales of travelers from realms beyond. Yet, there's a restlessness in me heart, a yearnin' to uncover secrets hidden beneath the mountains and beyond the horizon."
Lynheid leans forward, meeting the hag's gaze with an earnestness born of both curiosity and a sense of destiny. "Tell me, wise one, what do yer mystic senses reveal? What draws us together on this fateful day, and what tales of fate and adventure do ye see weavin' through the threads of our lives?"
