Thank you muchly!

I 've been quick-saving through the game - RARELY making another saved game. The auto-save bailed me once, but now I seem to have dug myself into a pit :0 In Skarragath I've killed the guardian BEFORE he opened the second portcullis. The auto-save triggered AFTER i killed him, too. My old saves are WAY too old to go back. Do I HAVE TO free Grah-Hoth to escape from Avernum/kill the Emperor? Or is there another way (console command) to open the second portcullis?
