So, do I need to kill the Slayer here? (I've always been bad at dealing with Slayers; maybe my least favorite thing in DROD.) Does the room even have to be completed?

No, you don't need to kill this Slayer.

It is possible to kill it, but you don't get any special message and it doesn't progress the hold in any way.

In fact, this room is entirely optional and you don't even need to visit it to master the hold, since it isn't a secret room.

OK, thank you... I was looking for another Quest, and this seemed a possible place.

Onward.

That leads me to my current issue. Inasmuch as I don't know which room it belongs in, I'll append it here:

Where do I find a new mission now? I've

before I was supposed to (I went after them right at the start of the game), and hence missed some important message, but there was nothing to stop me doing so.

Any guidance would be welcomed.

I'd follow up on the pirates. There's a reason for clearing them. You shouldn't need the message to know how that could open up a new area.

P.S. The Slayer in this room is trivial to kill if you think about it (and have seen it once).

I guess I'm stupid on this one. I've been all over the pirates' area and not seen anything. Unless the area it opens up is something I've already seen and am taking for granted. In any case, I keep running through all the same rooms, looking for something additional to do. (I'm still blocked from going east from the forest, for one. Plus there are whole regions on the hints map that I haven't seen.)

If the quest was given in the pirate area, you would have gotten it. You were supposed to get that quest from

ETA: Okay, I checked and that's correct on how you get east of the forest. Don't leave the room too quickly after talking to him, he has more to say.

Looks like I screwed up both of those and will need to start the game over. Nobody talks to me in those rooms now.

It turns out I could still get the person in the city to talk to me, and finish that part. But the pirate business was a washout. If I didn't find out about them before I went after them, there's no way to reclaim it. So I did restart from the beginning. Luckily this hold doesn't take long.

(Now trying to figure out where this city of secrets is supposed to be. Not that that's anyone's problem but my own....)
