[QUOTE="Medriev, post: 4752091, member: 21864"] [b]Chapter 24 - The Shrine of Bane (Part 4)[/b] At that, the wizard leapt away from Erlmoor and fled through double doors to the south. Dulvarna rushed past the dragonborn and into the chamber which seemed to be the inner sanctum of the wizard. A bed, partly hidden by curtains in the south west corner and an alchemical work table in the north west corner were its principal furnishings. Paldemar had crossed the chamber to a single door in the eastern wall and had pulled the portal open. Lavren came into the chamber behind Dulvarna and began to utter his most powerful curses.
