You made a bad deal. You've paid for it. You were young when you first entered into servitude to the hag, and now you are fourteen years older, no wiser, no stronger, just tired. The hag was true to her word: your service has ended. Now what?
A Hag's Eye View
You understand innately the meaning of any deals a hag (or other similar deal-making fey creature) offers the party. For example, you know that the demand for "That spring in your step" means that you will lose 10 feet of movement speed and will no longer be able to jump.

1 I made friends with a very smart rat who kept me sane during my servitude. I was devastated to learn she was the hag in disguise.
2 By the end of my time with the hag, we had grown mutual respect for one another. We were not equals, but sometimes we came close.
3 The home I let behind is no longer there for me. I wouldn't want to go back anyway. It's time I struck out on my own.
4 A satyr tried to save me, but was captured and enslaved by the hag. One day I will go back to save him in return. But rst I must plan.
5 I watched a dryad grow from a shrub to a tree. Every day I would sneak her a ray of sunshine I had caught in my pocket. I wonder where she is now.
6 I made a promise before I was enslaved. There is still time to fulll it.

1 Empathy exhausts me. There is no more room in my heart for those who have sufered misfortune. I've seen it all before.
2 Hard work never set me free. What's the point of it now?
3 I'm much more condent in Sylvan than I am with my native language. I've lost touch with my roots.
4 The terrible things I've seen have let me with a scar on my mind that will never go away.
5 I don't fully believe that I am free. Each night I fear I will wake up with the hag standing over me, compelling me back to her service.
6 I've inherited all the worst traits of a hag.
