A deadly hunger lies in wait ...
Deep in the heart of a burial mound lies the form of an ancient Alchemist; the corrupt widow of a long-dead diamyo lord who has remained immersed in a crystal bath filled with the essence of divine winds - a liquid distillation of divine ki energies - for a millenium in order to gain perfect immortality. But now a group of wandering heroes is called upon overcome her undead jikininki minions, a band of rampaging barbarian raiders, and the relic seekers who would unwisely plunder the grave, before the depraved Alchemist is forever transformed into a living god!
Lean and Hungry is a Japanese-analog fantasy scenario for a party of 4th to 6th level. It includes:
* New wondrous items like the vigilant lantern that reveals the infernal
nature harbored by those its light touches; the amulet of the sheltered
mind that wards against the effects of enchantments; the amulet of the
watchful eye created to be the central piece in a magical scrying system;
and the sands of timing that measure the precise temporal flow of arcane
energies and processes.
* New spells such as the ward of ravenous hunger that curses graverobbers
with an all-consuming hunger; and bless salt, which hinders the spawning of
undead creatures.
* New potions like essence of the divine winds that harvests ki energies to
transform its user into an undying divinity; and the distillation of
quickened stone that hardens the rock it is applied to and causes it to
grow lighter.
* The blasphemous rod of jikininki control that allows its user to bind
these perverse monsters to her will.
* Two new NPC classes: the criminal who makes up the bulk of both urban
criminal outfits and rural outlaw bands; and the faithful who serve their
gods in inglorious ways, much as adepts fulfill wizardly roles among
primitive peoples.
* New creatures such as the flesh-eating jikininki, the four monstrous
guardians of the ancient burial mound, a lesser shield guardian construct
charged with protecting its wizard master, and an entire army of terracotta
soldiers!
