You had the right idea - combine it with a switch. I'll give specific code later if you need it (no access to RM2k3 at the moment) but here's the basic idea:

------

Guard object:

Page 1: No precondition


<>Branch: If no key is held
.....<> He says "No access without a key!"
<>Else
.....<>He says "You finally got the key? (*mumble mumble*)"
.....<>You lose the key
.....<>Set a switch (GaveGuardKey) ON
<>End branch

_____
Page 2: Precondition GaveGuardKey switch is ON, and set it to Parallel Process instead of Press Key to start it.

<>Move the guard up and have him face down
<>Set a switch (GuardMovedUp) ON
_____
Page 3: Precondition GuardMovedUp switch ON
Make sure it's back to Press Key instead of Parallel Process.

<>He says: "Go on through.."

=============================

The trick is to set the GuardMovedUp switch to OFF whenever you enter the room. On all teleport events leading in that room, you'll need to manually add a new line turning that switch off.

If you set Page 2 to parallel process, as soon as you enter the room, the guard will move up and face down again, and will do so every time.

==============================


The two people in the party thing: Set the other party member's event to "Above Hero" (as opposed to "Same Level as Hero") and you should be fine. This is assuming that the party member isn't one square north of your hero's position - if that's the case, set it to "Below Hero" instead. This is because of the way the graphics are drawn... hard to explain, but that's the way it is.
