theoriginaljon: Attached is the mini-map. I should be just on the other side of the wall from him.
Pajama: Right, it seems that you have hit a snag as the switches I was thinking of are in the area you can't reach - I hadn't realised that the doors were locked as I just went through them with no problem (I have points in Tool Use) so sorry for the duff advice.
However all may not be lost as you can bring up the Character Editor on the main menu page and add some points into 'Tool Use' (at least this will allow you to move on in the game). If you're not happy doing this then maybe contact Jeff at support@spiderwebsoftware.com to make him aware of the problem in which case he might fix it for the next update due soon or tell you a way around it. Good luck.
I was really hoping that in my joy of killing slimes and bandits I had overlooked a key or switch. I reached out to the company via e-mail a few days ago on this. I'm sure they are busy with more important issues and bug fixes, and I plan to start over with version 1.0.1 and see if that works.
