After having found the key of Ramm, things have progressed much further, much quicker. However they have slowed to a crawl again. As someone else has mentioned having trouble finding the K of R, remember searching is direction dependent. You have to search a square in each of the 4 directions to be sure that there is nothing there. My questions are as follows. 1) What is the next environment after the castle ? My characters are having a very hard time surviving in the place they are in, which leads me to believe that perhaps I have skipped a dungeon level I was supposed to visit. 2) There are still two magically jammed doors in the castle, I can't open. They are above the main level, near the queens bedroom. I know none of the keys I have, or have ever had, open these doors. The keys I have not found yet, but have heard mention of are iron keys ? Are these keys somewhere in the castle ? Do the two jammed doors only get opened much later ? 3) Someone mentioned using a spade key to open the door with the zomebie ? Well, I cast a k-k spell and it opened. Am I imagining it ? The manual states magically jammed doors require items, k-k/pick/force won't work. Apologies if I have been cryptic. Didn't want to give any spoilers away. Thx Atul atul@cadence.com

The next environment is the Dungeon (enter via King's Bedroom), it's an okay progressment, not really hard. >2) There are still two magically jammed doors in the castle, I can't open. >They are above the main level, near the queens bedroom.

But that doesn't mean you can't get to the other side. Get it? >3) Someone mentioned using a spade key to open the door with the zomebie ? Well, >I cast a k-k spell and it opened. Am I imagining it ?

I do not want my inventory being filled with garbage that I can't get rid of unless I used it. (i.e. the chrome key to open the King's level doors, I still have 2 of them now and can't get rid of them). >Thx >Atul >atul@cadence.com -- EEEEE X X EEEEE DDDD RRRR AAA E X X E D D R R A A Charles Winata EEEEE X EEEEE D D RRRR AAAAA winata@garfield.cs.wisc.edu E X X E D D R R A A winata@picard.cs.wisc.edu EEEEE X X EEEEE DDDD R R A A

You should be exploring the dungeon next - where you'll find the dungeon
key. I don't think it's possible to get the sequence wrong - the _next_
area to open up requires you to get through the dungeon.

I recall one jammed door that was never opened, but you didn't need to, in
the queens bedoom. You could get in through another route. Don't recall
another jammed door on that level. There are a few grates on that level
that never do open up, but you can work around them.

It's a tough lock, but it's not jammed. If it was jammed, it wouldn't
open with a knock. The 'Belfrey' door is jammed - you can't pick or
knock it, for example. The chrome key doors into the king's bedroom aren't
jammed either - you can knock-knock them open, but it's hard.
