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?

He analyzes the place cautiosly, taking in his surroudings. As he sits himself he lifts up the goggles from his face and sets them on the top of his head. "Thanks for having me."

The years spent learning flash into his mind, and as he recomposes himself from the memory he continues. "... Traveled far for a while." He looks at the ground, pensive "But now i'm back in here and there is work i need to do."
