I'm just gonna wing it here based on what you've told me is your concept. We can change anything if you don't like it, this is your character after all, but we do need to start somewhere
Traveling through the roads had been harsh for Estienne Gosse, especially when having to deal with the many caravans and traveling merchants for rides between villages, always on the look out for young pick pockets or pranksters looking to rile up the lone traveler that would not talk much of where he had been or who he really was besides his first name.
As Estienne rides or walks he constantly contemplates what mistakes he must have made for God to punish him so. He lived a very good life, pure noble stock of a well known family situated in Orlais. He was a devout chantry follower and made his own personal tithes every time he visited the grand cathedral with his family. By all accounts Estienne would consider himself a good, perhaps not saint-like, but a good man nonetheless, a person that would bring pride to his family name as the next heir; So everything came as quite the shock to him when he fell in love with a lower classed woman he met while in the city, and then for him to be banished from his home after telling his parents about his feelings for this woman, chased out of the estate by guards and unable to see the woman he loved again.
Estienne Gosse, of noble blood, now estranged and treated as an outcast by his family; Forced to travel the lands as a homeless vagrant, only able to take his personal belongings, some trifling pocket change, and one of the hunters adventuring packs that was left out while he made his escape. He had been traveling with a small trading caravan for the last few days before getting off near the Brecellian forest, intent on taking the road north towards Denerim while they would veer off to another small town to do more small trading with small folk, small, small, small. The very idea of his circumstances boiling the blood under his skin as he walked north, perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was just dumb luck, but somewhere along the way Estienne had taken a right instead of left and became dangerously close to the ancient forest proper.
Lost and running very low on food Estienne had stumbled upon the small farmstead, seeing it from the distance had elevated Estienne's heart and put some new found energy into each step forward. Entering the farmstead seemed to have drained him of all his energy somehow, walking down the empty road to find the entire area just as empty, deserted even. The young nobleman walked on, intent on finding someone here or the town that should be down the road a short ways. Estienne was shocked by a lot of the things in his life, things seemed to just keep piling up on top of him with no end in sight, so ironically it came as no shock to him that as he walked he felt a sharp pain enter his shoulder.
Whirling around in the direction of the shot, hand fumbling for the sword at his waist, Estienne Gosse never had a second to look at his attacker before he blacked out, most likely from something the arrow was coated in, or at least he thought as he now woke up, laying in a cheap but well made bed. Slowly scanning the room in his view without moving he found a squat and ugly looking brutish thing rummaging through his belongings, uttering some foul language of grunts and other detestable noises. For once luck was on Estienne's side as the creature had not yet realized he was awake, further good luck seemed to shine on him as a loud yell came from below them, sounding as if battle was joined, the noise got the creatures full attention; It stood up to his full, still short though, height as it slowly stalked towards the door.
A quick glance shows his dagger laid on the floor haphazardly, close enough to reach if luck were still on Estienne's side...
Alright! Actions, do you go for the dagger? Pretend you are still asleep? Try to kill the ugly thing with your bare hands?
Anything stealthy you try, such as sneaking up on the thing will need a stealth roll of [1d6], [1d6], [1d6]+Dex mod
Currently you just have your traveling garb on, the Darkspawn seems to have stripped you of your stuff and was rifling through it. You are most likely still alive because it wanted to eat you later... most likely...
