Re: Journey to Rooted Hold : Thirteenth Level : 2 North, 1 East (+1)
I think the issue is that once you've completed this room for the first time, if you wander back into it, it looks like you're trapped, because the only way out of this room is onwards through the sequence of rooms 2N, 3N, 3N1W, 2N1W, 1N1W and finally 1W (the only one with actual killable monsters in being 2N1W, which has to be "completed" by killing all the roaches to lower the green door) - revealing a couple of rooms that have the "secret" status, but being unable to explore them at this juncture (since the main part of the room is seen from the wrong side of a wall) and of course, losing Halph, so Halph is no longer available in 2N1E to hit an orb when you need him to.
However, the force arrow preventing retreat isn't on the first square of the room, so you can simply hit R till you're back at the room start (of that particular instance of entering the room - it will still be empty because it was cleared before) - and exit back out to the south.
There is, of course, no way back to any of the other rooms in the sequence - except the 3N and 3N1W, but this time through the main part of the room instead of the secret corridor - but there's no need, since the only way out of the loop is to have conquered them all.
The other rooms on this level, the ones which were NOT yet explored (or completed) when you first got the "Exit Level" notification, are a separate part of this level, accessed later from below, not from the main part of level 13 itself.
