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.”
jaks looks into her eyes my "My brother grew drunk with power, killed our parents in the night, I was the only one who woke in time to run," tears are threating to spill from Jaks eyes. "Can I have a some coin, just enough to help me open a shop, I'll pay you back."
The old woman hobbles back to her tent to fetch her purse, when she unclasps the beat up bag it's filled with 2 copper, 3 silver, 1 gold. when she returns she sticks her palm out holding 1 gold piece "This is all I can spare you."
"This is perfect," Jaks reaches out a grabs the coin "I'll repay someday."
After months Jaks taking jobs of really anything he finally gets enough money to repay the woman and be steady.
