Hola ya'all,
I got past all the traps and the Zapping Lich, ouch. There is one room I cannot get in. It is seen through a cell grate from one side then a locked door. There was a key near here but the door still won't open. I looked high and low for another key with no luck. I tried boosting my lockpick to level three, still no good.
Any help here? I'd like to have the quest completed but I think the secret is in that room.

The other thing I am curious about is the Cure for the Plague. I still have the quest but am at a loss as to how to proceed. I do have my invitation to the castle but didn't want to go there until I finish this quest in case I can't come back out. This game does not seem like NeverWinter Nights in that aspect.
??

Thanks in advance
