Sung Chiang (LL)

__NOTOC__
==Sung Chiang (intermediate god)==
Sung Chiang, also known as No Cha and a thousand other names, was a famous thief living in the twelfth century A.D. When the brigand died and went to the first Law Court of the Afterworld, Yen-Wang-Yeh was astounded at all the crimes Sung Chiang had committed. The Judge asked him if he was sorry for all the things he had done. Sung Chiang said that he was not, for he had done nothing worse than the corrupt bureaucrats ruling his province. His comment caused an investigation and the guilty administrators were brought to justice. In gratitude, Sung Chiang was given divine status—but only after passing through every Law Court in the Afterworld. In recognition of his occupation, Sung Chiang now has three faces, eight arms, silvery scales for skin, and red eyes that blaze like fire.
Role-playing notes: Sung Chiang's ways have not changed just because he became a god. He is still greedy, and worshipers who do not sacrifice at least half of their treasure to his murky shrines are sure to receive a visit from his avatar.
Statistics: AL ne; WAL any; AoC thievery; SY dagger through a silver bracelet.

Anyone hit by his dagger must save versus poison or suffer a loss of 3d6 points of Constitution. If this reduces their Constitution to 0 or less, they are slain. If not, the lost points will return over the course of the next Id6 days.
