She'll tell you about some research that she is going but the last time she was researching she put herself in some kind of trance and in her trance she hid her research notes. Her plan is to put herself in a trance again and you need to stick close by to see what happens while she is in her trance and dispel her, which she'll give you a scroll for, once the destination is reached.

Sleepwalking[edit]

Go outside and talk to Davanna again, she'll cast her spell and you need to follow her. She'll lead you through the northern city gate and keeps going for a little while. Once Davanna stops, somewhat past the stables, you need to dispel her, either with the scroll she gave you or a spell you know. Talk to her and she asks you to find her notes, which are located behind the wall just west of where Davanna stopped, give them back to Davanna and she'll tell you to meet her at her house after which she uses a recall spell.
