The developers may well have simply decided there should be no key for one reason or another, but just in case I thought I'd bring it up. Is there any chance a key could be put in to open to door to the basement? I loved that zone when I was in the teens through the thirties and have seen quite a few people asking about the basement since. Given that rogues and bards can both be rather scarce here... some alternate means of getting in would be fantastic!
