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?))

"I was told if I came to the swamp in the east hidden behind the crooked trees on the third day of the first month then I’d be able to find an old drone with substantial medical knowledge I come seeking your wisdom and experience.”
”And why would a young man such as yourself need my services”
hesitantly Terron pauses for a moment “I’m ill it’s a disease I’ve had since birth it makes my bones weak and my skin thin I’ve given up on traditional medicines none of them have been able to help me anyway so I’ve been looking for any kind of medical professional or even amateur in hopes they might have a cure for me”
”And what is it you want”
”I would’ve though you would know considering how you reacted earlier”
”just because I know you’ll be here doesn’t mean I know you so tell me what is it you want judging from the fact you found me in this desolate old corner of the world you’re desperate, but I cannot give you what you seek the gift to fell foul beasts is the gift of an adventures, the gift to forge exquisite blades is the gift of a blacksmith and the gift to heal those in need of healing is the gift of a healer and I am not a healer-”
”but I heard about you from the innkeepers your tremendous knowledge on the human body-“
”while it is true I know a great deal about the human body and it’s inner workings I use my knowledge for an all together different purpose while it may be enough to deal with minor wounds and inflictions it isn’t enough to heal your from your ailment”
Terron walks away sighing in disappointment at another failure to find a cure to his ailment, deciding to take matters into his own hands Terron decides to become an adventurer to search for a cure in the land aevos.
