I know what you mean and I agree... all published modules are like that... some more than others. This particular one has the ritualistic aspects which like ritual in 'real life' (like rituals of the Catholic Church) need to be done exactly the same way in order for them to "work"...

Balance Check DC 15



From behind you hear a yelp of pain as the Sister loses her balance and falls on the needle sharp ground suffering (3d6)[10] damage as she is cut in numerous places. Jana manages to keep steady as the tremors subside.

When the reverberations cease and the trembling of the Cyst subsides, you are astonished to note that there is now a broad doorway in the south wall where before there was nothing but stone. You step near and peer into the place beyond.

There you see a small chamber of about 10‘ diameter. There are two large
chests of the now-familiar black metal. The glyphs stating Tharizdun’s name are upon each, and they appear seamless. Nothing else is in this circular space.
