Dragon's Eye Level Four, Stuck on locks

[Yumi]

Hiya everyone,
I'm down at the fourth level with the supposed clerics of peace, and from browsing around here I see that I'm supposed to get one of the locked doors open, but for the life of her, my mage/theif cannot get the locks picked. while it's not her highest skill, I've attempted so many times that 45%should have gotten it. Any help?

I cant remember the place exactly but:

Do you get the message "Lock-pick failed" or is it "This door doesnt have a conventional lock and may be warded against simple spells"? If you get the second message then you need to pull a switch or get a key (cant remember that place exactly... played it quite some time ago).

If you get the "lock pick failed" the your skill is not high enough. 45% doesnt mean that you open it 45% of the time. Some locks require a certain percentage to be opened. You can try one of the potions that increases the thief skills or cast knock if you have it.

EDIT: typos

Yup, my Theif wasn't high enough in her skill, luckily she was near a level up so I just boosted it when she leveled. Thank you ^_^
