Hello fellow adventurers.

Turns out I either forgot to search sable&dog statue or somehow lost the gold key.
Now the only option I have is to desecrate it, spawning 2-4 golden dragons that wipe out my party in one round.

Tell me please if I still have any way out of the mess or my save is beyond repair?

when you go back there, you should be able to answer "NO" to desecrate it, and yet still be able search it again?

I can desecrate it but can't search coz a bunch of dragons incoming to punish the party. To match them I must invest some good number of hours into grinding random encounters and repeating quests.

Thanks for reply.
