I have had an overwhelming amount of people completely miss the shortcut portal leading back to the entrance of the dragon caves. In an attempt to alleviate this, I have added dialogue to Lenalo before she leaves, having her explain exactly how to get to it. (It isn't difficult to get to at all) I have also put a mention in my author's notes about the existence of it. You have to walk right past the bookshelf which houses the book that will give you the info to unlock the portal to even get the key. I have put a really big message in CAPS in the quest overview making it clear that the shortcut exists.
Tell me, what else can I do to make this clear? I'm at a loss....
I refuse to have Lenalo simply give you a portal because that breaks the character that I built...sorry.. (Not to mention the work that I put into setting up said shortcut portal and incorporating it into the story/setup)

~I redid some visual parts of the Small Camp... (Mainly on the edges) I believe the ambience is much nicer now.
~I changed some of the flow of objectives in the Dragon Caves to hopefully make it much harder to miss the shortcut back.
~Changed the combat in the dragon caves to add a bit of variance and hopefully make the fighting more interesting.

EDIT: Alright, I realized that I was interacting with her and not the cage. In order to interact with the cage, you need to step back a little.
She stopped playing the game.
