Hmm did noone ever tried to enter Catacombs trough the tower?

[Verified Error 505]

I search all internet for the two man in the jail in the catacombs, where they ask you to open their door which will kill the other person. I got those two talkning to me by entering the catacombs trough the towers small back door entrance, At that moment i could not decide who to save, so i sneaked out again, after returning both were dead. So i questioned miself what reward did i miss or did i not save a important npc, but no informations about the 2 man can be found on internet, at least i didnt get any, so either its so irelevant noone cared or all people entering catacombs from a different spot making the enemys wake up and kill them before someone could reach to save them. Im not sure.

Hmm, from what I remember that little door only opens from the inside for the first time. It's always closed for me before that.

well it was the only door i knew to the catacombs when i got the key handed, so my first instinct was to go there, and the moment i entered and walked down the stears the 2 man started wispering to, me dude1:"hey you, yes you you need to open my door, but silently, there is a monster in here, it sleeps but will kill me if you make noise", dude 2: "no, no, dont open his door, open mine, if you open his the monster sleeping behind me will kill me".

You then have several answer choices, one is to ask them if there is a way to save them both, but they will say thats no option, and another one is to leave them alone. I decided to leave them and go get more information, but the next time i entered they both been dead. Its possible i maybe entered trough a different door and made some noise because i didnt know its a whole connected catacomb system. Anyways, i was just currious what i have missed^^

No-no, you get the key from Yetka when you retrieve her dagger.
She'll tell you about it if you start a second conversion with after you first met her (at the gate before the second boss).

ON TOPIC: You've got only one chance to either save prisoner #1 or prisoner #2.
Can't help you with the item drops, though.
I'm on my 3rd playthrough now and already used both options in previous playthroughs and don't remember what i got from which (on NG++ all i get from from completed qeusts and bosses is mostly runes).
