Bandit lair Blue chest...how?

[epower]

Against my better judgement I'm crying Uncle and asking for help.  I'm completely stumped.  I've cleaned out the bandit lair east of Ghikra but cant seem to find any secret door panels to get into the blue chest room in the center of the complex. 

 

Any hints greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

You enter that room in the wolf pen downstairs from the bandit lair. Theres a secret door panel down there that has a way up to the blue chest room

Thanks for the tip, ultra blue4.  Much appreciated.  After much searching I finally found the stairs down.  Looked like a solid wall on my monitor.

There is a hidden switch in the Wolf Pen in the northeast corner. Use the "u" command to highlight the switch.

 

It helps to have used something to give light status like a candle or lamp. Still it beats Avadon 1: The Black Fortress where the hidden switches were even harder to see or Avernum 4 where there were fake switches.

Thanks Randomizer.  I will remember the u command.  Hadn't thought about a lamp/candle/lantern.  Probably should since I hoard them

My problem was being able to see the stairs down from the first level.  They were surprising difficult for me to pick out.

Initially I couldn't find the stair down either. I ended up finding it after entering the wolf pen from the goblin area, then climbing back up into the bandit lair.
