That Which Lurks

ADD TO WISHLIST >

In the far-flung islands of Hamato in the Forgotten Realms, a river village named Yae is gripped by a lurking menace in the water, and villagers have gone missing in this, the fourth adventure published in the Hamato Islands series.  Can you solve the mystery and save the village?

This module includes:

  • A four hour one-shot adventure, optimized for 3-7 party members at levels 1-4, with options to adjust difficulty based on APL and party size.
  • Monster stat blocks for each encounter, including Japanese legendary monsters such as the kappa and tengu.
  • Optional side quests, shopping opportunities, social interaction in the town of Yae and more.
  • Features unique items native to the Hamato Islands: the omamori talisman, wakizashi blade and more.
  • Includes brief DM guide to the Hamato Islands, lore, fauna and culture.

That which lurks in the waters of Yae will not rest, and neither should you.

Update note: version 2 includes updates to monster stat blocks and updates to time estimates, as well as some clerical corrections.  Thanks to user feedback as always!

What Are The Hamato Islands?

The Hamato Islands are a reimagining of the old Forgotten Realms kingdoms of "Wa" and "Kozakura", which resided on the fringes of the contient of Kara-Tur.  United under one Imperial banner now, peace and stability reign on the Islands, and travelers from the Sword Coast are just beginning to  trickle in.  This is a land not well understood by Faerunians, and provides many opportunities for adventure, but players can also play characters native to the Hamato Islands using the Traveler's Guide for tips on character conversion and cultural tips to help flesh out character concepts.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
