We're at the River Styx! We're definitely treading into dangerous territory a mere mortal with flesh has barely tred.

After you take the Skeleton Key off of the floor, give the ticket to the ticket man. You'll instantly enter the Land of the Dead. You'll be on a path to the underworld that has the River Styx below. You'll have to click carefully, as you will fall and die instantly if you fall off the edge of the path.
You'll also find the body of a dead knight. This must be the knight that the Archdruid told us about. Examine it with the eye icon, and you'll find a tattered blue ribbon. You won't be able to take it, but you can take take the black gauntlet on his hand. On the gauntlet is a message. "Flesh may cross the portal and seek its master Death. Flesh may go where Death has trod, and challenge like Scheherezade he who reigns beneath the sod, to spare a mortal's breath."
When you get close to the end of the path, you'll meet Charon, the boatman of the River Styx. His boat is waiting. Use the teacup on the River Styx to collect some of the river water, then try to get on the boat. Charon won't let you, and sticks his hand out waiting for some sort of payment. Give him the two old coins from the catacombs. He'll accept the fare and wave you onto the boat.
Once you're on the other side, you'll be standing at Death's door...literally. If you walk straight up to it, the gate turns into a menacing face and eats you, killing you. But if you use the hand icon on it, it will still turn into a face but it will not kill you straight away.
