JAGDTIGER: Ok i got the leviation spell ( had to cheat ) & i got past the chasm but now i'm stuck again. There's a gate & i can hear orcs snoring. Can't open the door :(
I think you actually need to find the secret passage in order to progress. Near the entrance, if i remember correctly, should be a branch in the dungeon: one heading down to the bridge and the other heading diagonally up and to the right to two square chambers. In the larger of these (the one without the chest) is the secret passage. It's a triangular looking pillar that is pretty indistinguishable from the wall in the lowest corner of the room. If you have a high perception skill it will be highlighted, which helps when finding it (if you are a priest you can use the skills Light and Insight to give you a boost - as you really don't want to waste your points on perception).
You need to go through this passage to find some strange women who lives in a cave in an orc infested mine for absolutely no reason. She gives you the mine key, which gets you through the door. I have to say that this game desperately needs a walkthough - as there are many frustrating and obscure sections like this that make very little sense.
With the body of the dead girl, you can show it to the apothecary/witch and she says something that you will already have worked out. Apparently the girl's body was ued for a satanic rite (no sh*t!).
You can return the monstrance to the bishop dude (Valarian? - not sure about the name). Can't help you get further with these two bits as I haven't got that far yet - sorry.
This is off the top of my head so I apologise for any mistakes + lack of screenshots. Anyway I hope that helps a little :)
