'''A small key''' is a [[quest items|quest item]] used only in the [[Plague City]] [[quest]]. It is found by searching the [[barrel (Plague City)|barrel]] on the {{Floornumber|uk=0}} of the plague house where [[Elena]] is being held. The house can only be accessed while holding a [[warrant]] that is obtained from [[Bravek]].

It is used to open Elena's cell in the basement of the plague house.

After opening the door, the key is no longer needed, and it serves no further use.

==Trivia==
There exists an identical copy of the barrel which gives a small key located in the [[Varrock sewers]]. If the quest state currently requires the player to search the barrel for a small key (normally found in the house where Elena is being held), it can alternatively be acquired from the barrel in the sewers. This remains possible even while logged into a [[free-to-play]] world, despite the key being a [[members object]].
