The metal is orichalcum. This key is unbreakable, and is only off someone's wrist because they were eaten.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 341):

The key is orachilum, or something attached to the key is.

"Sounds like the key to something valuable. Or dangerous. Should we push on through the gate?"

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 343):

"It is a standard gate key, made by the builders of this place. I don't  know who they are, but these portsls are marked with a mixture of Latin numerals, elvish runes and goblin script."
He points at a stone plaque above the gate that has faint markings as he described.

Goran leads the way past the corpse of the creature.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 345):

Hograth checks the stomach contents again with the pole before moving on.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 346):
You are in the undercity proper now. The passageways are arched, with a decorative tile frieze at shoulder height where the wall starts to form the arch, which is about three yards high. The corridor is three yards wide with a one foot wide gutter on either side of the wide flagstones.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 347):

"Right. Where to from here?"

Given the long tunnels, he hitches his shield and axe and readies his crossbow.

Goran looks to their guide Ketil.

"Right leads deeper into temple hill, shouldn't be much more to it.
Left takes is deeper into the city."

In reply to Ketil Deepwalker (msg # 350):

"Lets sort out this temple hill first. Please lead the way..."

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 351):

The corridor heads on for a bit, coming to a T intersection after about thirty yards.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 352):

Since Ketil is leading, Hograth will follow, Crossbow loaded and ready.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 353):

Ketil pauses.
"Right should lead toward the cliffs, Left deeper inro the temple district."

Urrun stays in the middle... he sniffs the air and listens as they stop at intersections.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 355):

"The cliffs? What interest do we have there?"

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 356):

"North is where the tracks around the top of the dome were. Figured they mighyta come from that way, could be wrong."

In reply to Ketil Deepwalker (msg # 357):

"I see. Probably worth checking then before we continue on."

"Agreed. Ketil, can you lead the way? I'll follow closely behind."

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 359):

The dwarf leads onward. The passageway curves slightly, and after a bit you can see a set of gates set opposite each other at the end of the corridor.

In reply to Ketil Deepwalker (msg # 360):

Hograh will check for threats beyond the gates, before asking which way as he stands guard.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 361):

The dwarf shrugs.  I'm not a regular at this end of temple hill, so I don't  know which temples are here. Looks like the new key works in either door.

In reply to Ketil Deepwalker (msg # 362):

Can we see much past the gates?

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 363):

a narrow (two yard wide) hallway extends past either gated archway. at the limit of your vision, you can see the bases of flights of stairs.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 364):

"Any preferences, left or right? Perhaps we will deal with the right one later... "
