Gaspen

See thanks above. In the interim, I'm just tooling around the various towns to see if I've missed anything.

First, thanks for the help. I've read through both walkthroughs but the only thing I can find is the tunnel one level down that ends with an impassable block and the closed gate on the left.

Where's the entrance!? I'm at the southwest corner of Almaria and descended the steps and stumbled upon merchant 'stuff'. (At some point, I've killed the guard and went north but it's a deadend and to the left is a closed gate. (Is this the same location as the imprisoned mages? Of course, that would be, too, simple) My PCs are 23 & 24. Is that high enough (if skill level is determining factor? Sorry this is a long post. I've enjoyed the game so far but am totally frustrated and ready to get back to my life . Any help would be great!
