Neutral Quest
The Neutral Quest is one of the new alignment-based quests in SLASH'EM. Unlike normal quests, the alignment quests do not have quest leaders, nor do you actually have to be the alignment in question to attempt the Quest. They are also only one level each. You have to complete at least two of the three alignment quests to get the keys to the indestructable doors in Vlad's Tower.

The portal back to the Dungeons of Doom is marked, and there is a fountain. The three marked traps are all spiked pits; there are also four other random traps. The e mark contains the Beholder, as well as a chest and four piles of gold; killing the Beholder will reveal the Eye of the Beholder and the Key of Neutrality. There are also 37 gas spores scattered throughout the level, as well as four other random e's and/or F's.
Lighting a gas spore here can have uncommon effects, indeed, their numbers are so high that you could hit one way and find an explosion on your back.
The Beholder
This monster is notable in that it can use a gaze of death, which is an instadeath. Fortunately, like all gaze attacks, it can be reflected with a mirror. Reflection will also reflect the gaze of death, killing the Beholder, but only if you are not invisible (or the Beholder is otherwise prevented from seeing you, while you can see it), and it will not protect against the other attacks.
