4693 Gates play an important role in Deliantra. Gates can be opened
4694 by activating a button/trigger, by speaking passwords (-> magic_ear)
4695 or carrying special key-objects (-> inventory checker).
4696 Unlike locked doors, gates can get shut again after a player has
4697 passed, which makes them more practical in many cases. Unlike normal
4698 gates, timed gates open when triggered but automatically close again
4699 after some time.]]>
