The Azure Sovereign Serpent, Part I
The first step toward tracking the Azure Sovereign Serpent was gathering local knowledge. Someone must have spotted the magical beast during their excursion into the Yuan Mountain Range and come back to deliver the news. That being the case, Wu Jian and Mei Ling asked around first thing in the morning and discovered that the people who had sent the report was a gang of mercenaries called Breaking Dawn. Their headquarters was on the outskirts of the city.
What they found upon reaching the city limits was a modest and functional encampment, a collection of tents and basic buildings nestled against the backdrop of a tropical jungle. They walked through a gate after speaking with the guards. Several sturdy canvas tents of varying sights were set up in a semi-organized manner. They seemed to serve multiple purposes, functioning as dining areas, makeshift barracks, and workshops. Most were unadorned and focused on practicality over aesthetics.
