what do i do if im banned from sorcerous sundries for picking the wrong portal?
If you got banned from Sorcerous Sundries after taking the wrong portal, the usual fix is to get back in with disguise , invisibility , or by forcing your way through the shop anyway. Players report that the wrong portal can dump you outside and make the front guard refuse entry, but you can still recover the quest path.
What to try
- Cast Disguise Self or Seeming.
Some players say this lets them slip back in, though it can be inconsistent depending on what already happened in your run.
- Use Invisibility and sneak in.
One common workaround is to turn invisible, move through the area carefully, and head for the correct portal route.
- Go upstairs and pick the lock.
If you mainly need progress for Gale’s quest, one report says you can still reach the vault by going upstairs and unlocking the small room.
- Fight your way through if needed.
Some players simply re-enter by combat, though that can make the area more chaotic.
What usually happens
After the wrong portal, your character may be ejected outside and treated as unwelcome by the guard, which is why re-entry can feel blocked. The good news is that this does not necessarily hard-lock the quest; there are still alternate ways forward.
Best practical move
If you want the safest route, try Disguise Self first , then Invisibility , and only fall back to combat if both fail. If your goal is just the vault or quest progress, the lockpick route is often the cleanest backup.
TL;DR: wrong portal usually means you get kicked out, but you can often get back in with disguise/invisibility, or bypass the problem by locking picking your way to the vault.
