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?)) born in the wilderness of Mabbiport, to two wood elves. Her parents were both rogues, but Dalihla wanted to use her skills to help others rather than steal from them. She grew up in the wilderness, learning from her mother how to hunt with a bow and help forage for food. At one point, her mother decided she had to move on. She left behind their belongings and Dalihla lived on her own for the first time. She learned to use a dagger to forage for food. She learned the ways of the rogue from a tribe of troglodytes in the nearby jungle. Dalihla remained in the woods for years, living off the land and training herself in the ways of the rogue. She dreamed of someday finding a city where she could support herself.
