Thanks Nightwalker, for the info. I see what you meant (I think) about the
house. Now, I'm in a real pickle. I'm in this room, see....and its all
sealed up...and I've got a Gold Crypt Key....and there are two chests in
front of me....the other I threw a skull at.....should I have done that?
Because I can't get out of this room....Do I have to go to a previous save
game? Please help me on this one, I've tried everything...[I think....SD
:-]
