The key is in the chest near the monster but you don't have to kill that
monster. You should use the rune (called 'silence') that make you quite
enough to steal the key without fighting.
You don't have to kill him. As a matter of fact, since you only get
about one hit on him before he kills you, I doubt that it's possible.
Anyway, just stand a square or two away from his cubicle and throw
something to break the barrels. For some reason this doesn't wake him
up. Then just walk in and rob the treasure chest.
This may not be the only way, but it worked for me.
You can't kill the Ettin.
1. Step into the north-east corner, then turn right to face the barrels.
2. Use the silence rune on the middle barrel.
3. Break the nearest barrel.
4. Open up the chest and get the stuff.
