This indicates the presence of flammable gas, which can be ignited with a flame spell, shout or torch. Throughout the cave, there is a wavering distortion in the air, similar to heat distortion around a fire. An apprentice-locked chest can be found beside the bandit. The room with the lab also has a chest against the west wall containing random loot.īack on the main path, it eventually leads to a large cave with a waterfall and a bandit mining the moonstone ore veins.
The path to the lab can be easy to miss, and has a tripwire trap. Near the top is a passage heading left (northeast) to an alchemy lab with a random mage. On the right hand side further up is a wooden ramp protected by another bandit leading up to the southeast. The path continues upstream to the southeast, then turns left (northeast) where eventually two bandits will appear. The first open area has a Breton lying over a pole. The path is partially submerged and leads to the southeast. The entrance is on the east side of a pool of water.
