I'm really stuck, and would appreciate a gentle nudge in the right direction.



1)  Enter the temple.  Find secret teleporter to "resurrections-r-us".  Go
up stairs.  Defeat cleric.  Stuck.  No keys to open doors.  Am I missing
something?

2)  Go to 1st level of dungeon.  Find dead guy's remains, with partial map of
first level showing location of secret doors.  Go through secret doors.  Go
down stairs to second level of dungeon.  Immediately confronted by a door.  
No key to open door.  Stuck.  Am I missing something?

3).  Blow off second level.  Go to third level.  Find all sorts of secret
doors.  Rescue dwarven cleric (not much help without holy symbol, though).
Have explored every single square inch of every wall, to no avail-- cannot
find any more secret doors.  So: need either a key which fits one of the two
"skull shaped" keyholes, or the key that fits the glowing blue keyhole.  
Stuck.  I'm thinking that the keys that I need were on the second level that
I never explored?...

A more general question.  My party has no thief.  Would a thief be able to
pick most or all of these locks, thus greatly reducing the penalty that I pay
for being too stupid to find keys?  If so, I can start over again with a new
party.  I guess the best case scenario is that I wasn't supposed to be able
to explore the priests' quarters upstairs, and that the keys to the third 
level locks were on the second level, so that all I have really missed is the
key that opens the door to the second level. <shrug> Frustrating.

Thanks in advance,
