  Yes,  Try going downstairs!

  Err,  I can't remember too well, either you need a silver(?) key or throw a
  rock through it(if its a barred door).

  When you enter the third level, turn right and go through the door there.
  In the next room, there is a hole in the wall, a skull lock and a fireball
  trap.  If you stand away from the trap and throw a rock either at the wall
  next to the hole or at the hole itself, a skull key will appear in the hole.
  I can't remember which of the two locks you should open first however.

  NOTE : After opening the lock where you found that first skull key, it is a
         VERY wise idea to save your game regularly (VERY regularly)!!

  I had a half elven fighter/thief in my party, and to be quite honest I didn't
  really find him to be that much use.  The keys for most (all?) the doors are
  there, it's just a question of finding them!
