I thought I had, but I guess maybe I didn't since the gate is firmly closed.

I think the only option is to character-edit myself out of town, which is a shame.

those stairs are also not working for me.

Perhaps I wasn't clear about what I have/haven't done...

Here's the chronology of what happened:

First I came up the east stairs into the deserted storeroom

Killed the Queen

Escaped down the west stairs (the ones you're talking about)

Messed around on the intermediate level some

Found my way back to the lowest level

Talked to the King and the Sprite

Decided I needed to explore the top a bit more

Went up the western stairs (the eastern ones were blocked going up), the same way I just came down

Now I'm on the top level, but can't go down either set of stairs (because of in-game message telling me there's sounds of fighting), and can't go out the front door b/c the portcullis is down.

Any ideas? Or am I permanently locked in Goagh-Nar?

I killed the queen and after going back down to the lower levels to report the deed decided I would finish my exploring on the top level. Trouble is, now every time I get near the stairs it gives me a message about hearing the sounds of conflict and staying away - in other words I can't get down either set of stairs. The only other way out I can think of is the front door, but it is locked locked locked and I can't find a wheel to turn to let me out.

I'm playing a party of celts. Any ideas how to get out?
