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?

Eoghan closed his satchel and raised his hood back over his head. "The village leaders are concerned about the number of bandits in our forests, and our chieftain believes that they may be consolidating into a larger, more menacing force. Our leaders wish to know if the gods would favor us in the coming battles, and I have been told that you know how to commune with them..."
