Hai. I have had this very specific problem. When Septimus is dead and I've spoken to the wretched abyss and taken the book I can't really read it. I do as I'm suppose to do but afterwards the book is removed from my inventory and Wretched abyss is in the way of the exit! I can't leave the place! Anyone else who have tumbled across this? I at the moment had a mod active that put all the kinds of races from whom i needed blood in the room so it would make it easy. And I've tried to load a previous save. It doesn't work. Instead it's the same thing over again! I have also now uninstalled the mod and are going to try the quest again but on the right way. If anyone has a god solution please help!
