I have finished the archival catacombs, and received my pass to the conference. I am lost in this hugh city. Can someone please tell me where I go from here?

You need to get back to the Slaymaster's Hall at 5 North, 3 West. Use the Restore Screen to backtrack a route, but if you can get out to the city gate at 5 North it should be pretty straightforward.

Thanks for the help. I followed your instructions and then returned to the archives as I believe I was instructed. It appears they stole my pass from me then. I am once again at as loss again. :(

Have you tried entering the hall? Go to the squares in front of the "door" and see what happens.

At the slaymasters hall, he says I will get my conference pass from the archivists. I thought it had already been given to me and I was to proceed to the conference!! I go back to the archivists lobby and there is no one at the desk. I am ordered to return the pass by a 'patron' and then I let out a loud groan. Do I need to search through the archives all over again.

That's odd! Perhaps one of the developers or testers might have encountered this. But in the meantime, let's try to get you forward.

1. You definitely completed the archival catacombs, and received the pass at the end (in 4S, I believe), correct?

2. When you arrived at slaymaster's hall, did you go south to where the "house" is and speak to the NPC in front of it? Then did you try walking into the house?

3. If you did all this, I would suggest restoring to 4S in Archival Catacombs, getting your pass again and continuing again from there. Maybe it was some kind of bug.

Hopefully this works.

I have found my error, thanks to all the help I got.
I had done everything right up until I spoke to the NPC. I then went looking for the hall instead of stepping to the left of him. That is when on returning to the archives my pass was stolen from me. I finally got the pass back and I am truly on my way. Thanks y'all.

I think the next step in my journey through the City (having just finished the Citizen rooms, 4N3W et al) is to visit the Archivist.
When I go through 1N4W to this Lobby Entrance the "greeter" (?) says "Hello citizen. Welcome to the Archives." and that's it.

I've been wandering the city for some time now and my TCB minimap looks the same as what's in the H&S archives so I can't be missing much. Where should I take Beethro next?

(Edit: A post from a different H&S string suggested I needed to complete the various Citizen rooms and then encounter the Slayer at 5N3W. I did complete the rooms but ... no Slayer at 5N3W.)

If you can get into the part of 4N3W that's covered with oremites, the slayer you need to talk to is the one at the house, past the skull piles.
