You can use expression form in string_dynamics. A dynamic string is a string that can be referenced from regular strings, but will recalculate every time referenced.

I purposefully chose not to document this in Adventuron Classroom for fear of putting beginners off.

BEGINNERS : Don't be put off please :-)

start_at = village

locations {
   village  : location "You are in the village. {linger_desc}" ;
}

strings {   
   linger_desc : string_dynamic {(
      "You have been hanging around for " + 
      linger () +
      " turns."
   )}
}
