The hermit master can be found sitting by the tree in the middle of the map (in one out of seven games), in the shrine (in one out of seven games), or in the hidden cave (in the remaining five out of seven games).
The shrine contains a coligned altar, but no priest, making it haunted.
There are four hard-hitting terracotta soldiers, four earth elementals (which may be peaceful to some PCs), and four werefoxes on siege duty.
There's no loot on this level.
Upper filler level(s)
These levels are open grassy levels, with random outcroppings of solid rock. Each level has nine random objects, and eight random hostile monsters.
The haunted castle
Although every Kensei starting kit goes on essentially the same quest, the "haunted castle" varies greatly between kits, and is covered on a dedicated page.
Lower filler level(s)
These are ordinary room-and-corridors levels with six rooms each, with no special rooms. Each level contains one ogre mage, four werefoxes, one random elemental, two earth elementals, one random monster, nine random objects, and four random traps.
