Their first lead emerged from an unlikely source: a cryptic message hidden within an ancient scroll found in the Crimson Keep archives. It spoke of a shadowy organization known as the Serpent's Coil, a cult of assassins who operated in the shadows, their motives shrouded in mystery. The scroll hinted at a hidden sanctuary, a place where the Serpent's Coil conducted their rituals and plotted their schemes.
Following the cryptic clues, Lysander and his companions ventured into the Whispering Woods, a hauntingly beautiful yet perilous forest where shadows seemed to writhe and whispers echoed through the ancient trees. They encountered monstrous creatures, navigated treacherous traps, and faced their first real test as a team.
