No, Murkon is such a clever and devious opponent that not only would he not be called "Murkon", but he wouldn't even be in the deepest, hardest, off-limits-est level of the dungeon that bears his name.

Also, why do people keep thinking that keys can be found in pools? Everyone should know by the time they get down to the 10th level that the contents of pools are random and potentially lethal, and logic requires that keys be reliably found the first time you look where they should be. You can't miss them "somehow", unless your pockets are full and you can't carry them.

I guess all this just enhances the "murkiness" of the game. Oh well...

As far as finding a key, for any level, all you have to do is look *everywhere* on the levels to which you have access (including where people are standing). It has to be in there somewhere.
