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:
Michael steps confidently into the flickering candlelight, his eyes sweeping across the cramped tent. The scent of herbs and smoke intertwines with the musty odor from outside. With a steady gaze, he meets the hag's eyes, displaying a firm resolve.
“I’ve come for answers,” he declares, his voice low yet commanding. “Paths I once thought clear have twisted, and I am no longer the man who left my home. I have followed the trail of whispers that brought me here.”
He lowers himself onto the cushion, his hands resting firmly on his knees, posture strong and assertive. “I have trained my entire life for the battlefield, but the battles of the mind and shadow are far more perilous. I am prepared to confront whatever truth you possess, and I expect you to share it.”
