Putting both keys on the altar will give you a Blackrock Key to open the 
serpent gate in Furnace. If you can get to Fawn, Monitor or the Sleeping Bull
via serpent gate, then you don't really need them.

If you get really bored with less than 5 people, cast create Automaton on the
bodies in Torrissio's workshop and let them carry things. They fight too, 
and, if killed, you just cast the spell again to ressurect them.
