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?))
"My home town was raided by an evil hoard of mystical creatures one fateful night many moons ago, and since that day I have been wandering around, trying to get by with the scarce resources in the neighboring forest. That was until I met a tall hooded man, who asked me, 'what do you seek', and I told him that as of recently I have not been living simply surviving. I wish only to establish a comfortable life where I can begin to compose myself and move on from the horrible tragedy of losing everything I've ever known. If possible, I'd also like to reconnect with any long lost relatives that might've survived the attack. The man then referred me to this town and told me to find you. However, he gave me no explanation as to why, which left me with a lot of questions. I thought "what have I got to lose?", and decided to satisfy my curiosity, which is how I ended up here."
