Secrets revealed

from HDK 69 † The Grim Abbot by PAFUND

/

lyrics

When the full moon shines high on a freezing cloudless night, you finally sneak inside Stenfeld's church. You have reflected on what you have seen and heard and you have developed some hypotheses ... you want to understand if they are true. Well, the answer is: yes! Under the moonlight, a mysterious writing in four lines has appeared on the opaque black plate of the church's stained glass window, which you can now read thanks to the light of the fullmoon:

GTOKTLTKTD
WKETKLTKTL
YKETKLKTKL
ZTAKTAKTKM!

You read the words by skipping first one, then two, then three letters, as the three saints suggest with their raised fingers:

TREASURES
THE WELL
SAY ZAM

When you reach again the bottom of the well, you touch the walls: they seem very solid and there don't seem to be any secret passages. You take a breath and say in a stentorian voice: "ZAM!". The floor of the well magically disappears and you fall. The flight is short, after a couple of meters you crash on the damp floor of a gloomy corridor carved into the rock. You have to explore this dungeon...

The corridor ends and you can decide whether to continue to the right or to the left. Before your feet lies a human skull. It has the orbits facing right. Do you choose to follow the direction of the orbits or continue in the opposite direction?
Luckily you followed Zacharias' advice ("Follow the orbits!"), Because if you had entered this corridor without exit behind you a magic grate would drop and you would be trapped in this place forever.
A rotten wooden door closed with a heavy latch (now useless) leads to this cave illuminated by two magical candelabra of perennial light. In the center is a stone sarcophagus with some Christian symbols containing many gold coins, jewels and precious artifacts. You found the abbot's treasure, obviously! You burst into a tasty laugh and are about to fill your bags with treasures. While you are working you raise your head and you seem to see the air in front of you moving. Will the shadows and reflections be produced by the magical light? Petrified, you watch a transparent, floating shape take shape in front of you. You think you are wearing tattered and torn priestly robes. It's a Neecro-specter. It's Smotelius.
