After Getting the Second Ra Key on Level 12...

I found this shortcut, and went a floor up, found a scroll saying "the only way out is another way in", and then went several other floors up. But now, at level 8 or 7 or where ever I am, I can't go anywhere. It just...ends. Two dead ends, one around a corner and another with an engraving of chaos. Where do I go from here? I have no food, little water, and everyone is almost starving. I need to get out NOW and I don't have the resources to go all the way back up all those floors the way I came.

afraid you need to gothe long way, since you should have three RA keys by the level 12 - one from the end of level 3, one in a small 2x2 room at the end of level 9, and the one where you got it. also, you need to go back up anyway to use the RA keys on level 7
you needed more skeleton keys to open those dead ends on the stairs as a short cut back up to level 7, but as the scroll implies you needed to have used them on the outside of the level
you can survive without the one of the two (food or water) as long as you generate lots of stamina potions to keep your stamina high enough while fighting and moving fast. On lacking both, it's a constant process of topping up your champions, but still doable. Just not fun.
There is a food/water source at the end of level 9, beside a skeleton keyhole so you can go abck toit. If you can fight/run your way back there (up two and a half - three levels) then you can replenish everyone, and then open the skeleton keyhole wall to get back down to your level 12 position

Yes! There is hope! Never surrender! ...a treacherous journey with many dangers...
I have all the skeleton keys, I just never figured out what they did. And I HAVE had three ra keys in total, so I'm good for that. Thanks for the help!

no problem, that sounds more hopeful! good luck!
Oh, there is one skeleton key less than the number of locks - since the level 12 one is right beside the level 13 stairs anyway, i'd advise opening 13, leaving twelve
Some other people leave level 10 alone, since occasionally a monster can wander onto the stairwell, but then it's a pain getting to the start of 11/end of 10 if you need to without that open
