Nice, nice, nice and spooky!!!! Just in time for Halloween!
I haven't tested it all the way, but made few recommendations and corrections indicated by the #!!!!! marks:
#Text Adventure.py
#By Chris O'Leary
# functions will pick the external gold value (for instance), as long as gold is not
# a variable declared locally inside the function, this behaviour may change in future
# versions of Python, the safest way would be add the statement "global gold" to each
# function that uses it !!!!!!!!!!!!
"""
# global declarations go into the functions that use them!!!!!
global gold
global gotGold_reading
global gotGold_SQ
global gotGold_liv
global gotGold_draw

no way to open it. There are three other doors in the area. A voice says
'50 gold is what you need,
to escape my grasp, of this take heed!'
