Chapter 14: Lung Feng Wong

They waited for a long time in Yuetong Gong.
By dawn, the guard had already been dispatched in full strength to find them. Desperate for a solution, Otylia delved into the underworld to look for a way out. The way they found was very unpleasant. It was discovered that an underworld element by the name of Lung Feng Wong was out for them.

They had a single demand; work for us, or die. The meeting took place in the Black Deeds Inn, a dirty place with a bad reputation. Otylia discovered to her horror that the 'special dumpling' they served was in fact the diced meat of their less fortunate clientele. After talking to a man in the black mask, she discovered that this guild of assassins wanted the Guang Hu to rescue Shen Tsung, and restore him to his old position.

The group found this unpalatable and left, but warned that the Lung Feng Wong would find and kill them.

Using ingenious magic, the group escaped from the city by midmorning, and fled into the countryside. After traveling for days without a map or guide, they found themselves stranded in the rocky steppes of the North; they only realized this after encountering a tribe of dinosaur hunting barbarians.

After meeting up with their leader, a man by the name of Ahan, they traded a magical halberd for safe passage to the Well of Souls. During the first night of their stay, the tribe was attacked by three Sword Tooth Titans (Tyrannosaurus). Hien slew one from the insides, as Otylia stabbed it in the brain cells. Once seeing one of their number fall, the predators fled with what they could.

Rewarded for their bravery and aid in repelling the Sword Tooths, Ahan gifted them with a captured Three Horn (Triceratops) and a slave girl captured from a rival tribe. After debating what to do with these gifts over a long trip, they finally reached the Well after a journey of 20 days.
