It is a good thing Louie found that map because you have the distinct impression that you would've never been able to find and follow this path without it. The road they travel twists and turns, through hidden doors and narrow alcoves. There are traps too, though thankfully the majority seem to be marked on the map itself.
Heck, even with the map, it's a close call here and there in terms of getting lost.
Eventually, they get to a dead end. The trail on the map ends here, though whether that means this is the location or that the map maker just stopped marking out the path is anyone's guess.
It takes a good investigation, but eventually, a mechanism (guarded by another trap, this one unmarked on the map) can be discovered. The mechanism actually shifts the whole end of the room they are in, stone grinding as the section they are in shifts sideways and suddenly the dead-end wall they were staring at before is no more. Instead, they are left staring at a large, brass door, with a complex looking brass lock on the front.
Unfortunately, despite everyone's best attempts, there is no way to get through the door. The lock is too complex to pick and the doors are too sturdy to breakthrough. Clearly, your only recourse is to find the key. Unfortunately, that definitely isn't hidden underneath a mat outside the door or anything convenient like that.
Perhaps you should check to see if anyone else has found a brass key in the temple.
Though, at least your trip here wasn't completely without reward? During the trip, the group managed to pick up Two big pearls, five Nuggets, A Shiny Stone, and An Iron ball. Feel free to divide those as you see fit.
