I've killed everything inside the crypt. I've been around the back to the left to the gate but can't figure out how to open it.

I've looked at the rings on the wall in the tunnel but my cursor doesn't cahnge on any of them.

I've opend the chest and found 2 shelves with items on them.

How do I get across to the back right past the gate?

[Dwally]

Never mind, used an arrow on the switch!

Wow, now I feel silly. I had NO IDEA you could attack inanimate objects until I startted reading these forums.

Thanks for posting the answer to this one--I came looking for it.

That sounds like where I'm stuck. Your next post says you used an arrow on the switch, but I can reach it with neither arrow nor spell. Just tells me the target is obscured. Seems my character can't even see it. What am I missing?

Try taking a step or two to the right.

Yep, tried that. Either side of the space just in front of the gate is a black square and I can't move to those. A step back and left gives me the same "obscured" message.
Is that adjacent square supposed to be something other than black and unusable? Is my game "broken?" That's more or less what I've been thinking.

Oh, and thanks for your quick reply to my question.

Step back from the gate until you can move right of it two spaces.

[recluse]

Yeah! That was it: I wasn't moving BACK far enough to "see" the lever. Thanks for the help. I've been stopped by that same gate for 5 days.

There is also a back entrance from Northern Crickamir(sp?)
