Don't panic.  You just have to open the right chests.  Save before you try
this, because I'm not sure I remember the order.  I think you open the right
hand chest first.  Then open the one that has the Gold key in it. Don't
touch the one in the middle.  When you open the right chest,  a secret door
in the side of the room will open and you can go out.  Watch your step
though, because you come out in the hallway where a face shoots firearrows.
