Mortar is bugged, ppl (including me) can’t end Mawdrey

This has been bugged for a while. There are currently two reliable work-arounds:

Walk past the mortar to the ‘floor’ covering the water. Log the character out and then back in. When you return, you’ll be in the water and can proceed through puzzle normally until you reach the Water of Rhand.
Alternatively, get any of the many ports offered to the Tomb of Rhendak, which is at the end of the puzzle. Then, proceed backwards through the puzzle until you get to the Water; all of the gates can be opened from the ‘wrong’ side.

Good luck and sorry you ran into the same issue as others.

Thank you very much
Cheers
