Demon's Tomb: The Awakening Hints

What do all of the writings mean?

• 1 of 20: These hints reveal the meaning behind the notebook, and the letters Lynton and Vaulker sent.  This will give away a large portion of the game's story, so read it only if you're completely stuck.
• 2 of 20: Most of the notebook is a translation of Vaulker's copy of "The Revelations of Klaadra", a book which contains the legend of the mound Lynton was excavating.
• 3 of 20: The legend concerns two brothers, Thai and Tzen.  Tzen became a servant to the evil demon Darsuggotha, and was preparing to summon him into the world, but Thai prevented it.  Tzen faked his death and went into a deep sleep until the time was right once again to summon Darsuggotha.
• 4 of 20: As Vaulker's note states, Thai also remained to keep watch over Tzen, but Tzen has risen again.  Thai is unaware of it, according to the inscriptions on the gold plaque.
• 5 of 20: The letters Lynton and Vaulker wrote to each other help piece the story together.  The news article (in your game package) tells about a coming equinox, accompanied by a triple trine alignment of the planets (which is revealed in the letters).  That means that the time will once again be right for Tzen to summon Darsuggotha.
• 6 of 20: The tomb that Lynton is (or was) excavating is the place where Tzen has been waiting all these years. 
• 7 of 20: However, since the coffin is empty, Tzen has already risen and is preparing for the summoning once again.  (Thai also has a tomb somewhere, as Vaulker's translation of the missing chapter suggests, but you will have to find it on your own.)
• 8 of 20: Actually, Tzen has been awake for quite some time.  Vaulker's most recent letter speaks of a foreign man known as Mr. Tyson who resides at Culcombe Manor.
• 9 of 20: Since Tzen has been asleep for thousands of years, he would speak a different language and probably appear foreign; and, if given the proper accent, "Tzen" can sound a lot like "Tyson."  This should be enough information to tell you that the Mr. Tyson to whom Vaulker refers is Tzen.
• 10 of 20: However, the grubby letter in Culcombe Manor's mailbox says that a Lord Lewis once resided there.
• 11 of 20: Lord Lewis apparently took Tzen in, thinking him to be an innocent foreigner, and, when he had gained Tzen's trust, made him the heir to the manor.
• 12 of 20: The truth is, Tzen murdered Lord Lewis so he could use the house to prepare for the summoning.
• 13 of 20: Tzen is also responsible for trapping Lynton in the tomb, and placing the parchment in Culcombe Manor's study where Vaulker could find it.
• 14 of 20: In his letter (the one you rubbed the charcoal on to make the impressions visible), Lynton told Vaulker to find out where the stone circle was, so Lynton and Vaulker could stop the summoning.
• 15 of 20: Vaulker also came to Exmoor to visit Culcombe Manor, where he could translate a chapter from "The Revelations of Klaadra" (the book in the study).  Vaulker had a copy of this book, but it was missing the last chapter.
• 16 of 20: Mr. Tyson (Tzen) told Vaulker that he would have to wait until the 15th to visit the manor and translate the chapter, as Tzen was preparing for the summoning of Darsuggotha.
• 17 of 20: Unfortunately, after Vaulker translated the chapter, he evidently stopped to study the parchment, and was killed by the evil hounds.
  • Where did those evil hounds come from?
• 18 of 20: Due to the exceptionally low tides (described in the newsletter), Vaulker's body turned up on the beach near Culcombe Manor, after he evidently got knocked off the cliff when attacked by the evil hounds.
• 19 of 20: And Lynton was burned to death when the fire started in the tomb.
• 20 of 20: So Richard is now the only one who can stop Tzen from summoning the demon Darsuggotha.
