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?))
Example:
i didn’t come from very far
i was a prisoner for a long time, locked in a cell beneath a kingdom
they hurt me and treated me like dirt
before that, i was trained with the sword
my father served as a royal guard, and i learned by watching him
everything went wrong one day when my city burned
i escaped, but they wanted me and my family dead
i was captured not long after, like i said before
a cult freed me later, though i don’t know why
since then i’ve been traveling alone
now i’m just looking for a place to stay… maybe a city that will take me in
