From the introduction: Forgotten in a temple run, The Demon Idol holds a sinister secret. The giant statue was the superweapon of a depraved cult hellbent on ushering in a new age of chaos. The cult fell to bitter infighting and their lust for power decades ago. Their angry former patrons cursed them with hideous afflictions and sealed them within the idol for all eternity. Today, lizardfolk control the lands surrounding the ruins. Bloodthirsty tribes have united to raid neighboring towns.
