I've almost made it to the end of this quest. I'm in the room where you get the Templar Armor by stepping on the plate in the middle of the room. I've read the note and picked up the keystone.

I was over-thinking it.
Your advice worked, thank you.

Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere. I read several posts about this general subject, as well as a walk through that just confused me more. Just started the game, and went through a door.
