Description

===========
This mod is intended for everyone who like me hates the Fade. I always had problems finding a way out of this labyrinth, so I created this mod (partly also because of a request in the forums).
When you defeat Duncan and use the pedestal, you will be teleported to each of your companion's nightmares. If all companions are rescued, just click on the pedestal and you will be teleported to the Sloth Demon. From there on all will proceed as usual: kill the Sloth Demon, Neil appears and you are teleported back to the Circle Tower.

History

=======
1.5, 2010/03/25 - Added Rat codex when you're not Human Noble (thanks to Nanaski for finding this bug)
1.4, 2010/03/12 - Corrected XP (e.g for level 9 about 1000xp less), added Codex 283: Stealth and Codex 013: Ghoul, fixed a bug when you're alone in the Fade, you can't click on the last Fade Pedistal multiple times anymore, added kills to the statistic, added shapeshifting forms, removed Lyrium Codex because you can get it when you click on a Lyrium Vein.
1.3, 2010/03/07 - Added XP. I miscounted probably some values so there could be a bit too much or too little XP, but roughly it should be correct.
1.2, 2010/03/06 - Added the two missing nightmares: Shale, Dog. Fixed a bug when Wynne isn't in the party.
1.1, 2010/03/04 - Added all missing codex entries. The addon now works without dialog files, see description and details for further information.
1.0, 2010/03/02 - Initial release.
