Thank you for your help, so just sneaking by then and hoping for the best.. only one of my lads has Tenebrium skill anyway

So this should be easy, if teleport pyramids work, that is.
I know this seems like an odd issue, but I already discovered temple/immaculate village and everything else to boot. It's extremely confusing to have to retrace steps (and the game doesn't really seem to account for this all that much, since Arhu is constantly elsewhere, and does have different dialog depending on where is (which further confuses the issue)
Ps.: With per 8 now checking again, the ditch appeared... weird found scroll.. phew ^^
