I'm stuck early in the dungeon on Isle of the Avatar. I was able to go
north from the throne room of the guardian, but I'm stuck at locked door after
that. Where is the key for this door? I've done virtually everything
required so far (I think), so I assume the key to this door should be
obtained in this dungeon, but aside from noticing a (partial) invisible
corridor near the bloody dagger, I haven't got a clue. Am I supposed to
get to the dead woman? (I can't, the passage doesn't actually enter the room.)
Any hints appreciated. I'd like to solve this darn game...

Oops, you hit a bug. You see, that door was actually open, then closed when you
walked through it. Now you think, "Gee, I didn't walk through that door..."
Guess what? You FLEW over it on the carpet. Just a little minor error that
screws things up a bit. It was SUPPOSED to lock you in, but instead you are locked
out. Since this isn't normal, you have my permission to hackmove that door, go in,
and hackmove it back. This will allow you to continue the game without actually
cheating. If you don't know the cheat mode, E-mail me.

In the room with the dead body, I recall there was a passage through the south
wall back to the passage. I can't remember if it was a hidden door, invisible
path, or activated by a switch, though.
