After the short introduction, you will gain control of Nasir, the main character. Go south and go to the mayor's house, the largest building besides the church. The mayor's wife will say that the mayor has gone to the chuch. Now go the church, and you will find the major along with the minister. They will remark about how Giles is missing, and promise to meet you at the caves.

When you arrive at the caves, a man is found lying on the ground. He will say that Giles is in the cave, trapped. It's up to you to find him and bring him back. Go back to the major and he will tell you to equip yourself, and give you enough money to buy exactly one  Short Sword, one  Iron Shield, and one  Bandit Armor.

Go back to the caves and nagivate through them. If you stumble upon a door that you can't open, ignore it. Continue up to the second level, and then up to the third, where you will find Giles. The stairways to the next level are always against the northern wall. Here is a good place to level up a few times, maybe to level 3 or 4. Be sure to search the second and first floors of the dungeon for gold and the all-important  Healpot. When you reach the top, you will find Giles. When he asks for the  Healpot, give it to him and he will recover well enough to follow you.

Start going back down the stairways back to Atland. Giles will follow you at a considerably slower pace, so you'll have to be patient. Whenever you reach a door, you'll have to wait for the slower Giles to get within a certain range of it before you can actually enter it. One good thing about Giles is that he is invincible to any monsters for some reason.

When you reach the bottom, they people will hint for you to go to the old lady who has  Samson's Key. Go to her and she will tell about how in her youth sealed the demon Samson in the door you couldn't get in on the first floor of the caves. She will give you the key and ask for you to defeat the demon in order to get to Elf Fields. Take the key, and buy another  Healing Pot and a  Shiny Stone at the Atland store. After you do that, get in the cave and train some more, preferably to at least level 5. Then, save before you go in the cave to face Samson, as he is pretty tough.

Samson will attack you immediately. For strategies on defeating him, see the Bosses section. After you defeat him, you will obtain a  Fire Crystal. When you pass to the other side of the cave and get into Elf Fields, you will immediately be aware that you cannot turn back. New enemies will appear and you will have to fight your way to the next village. Travel north until you reach the edge of the map, and then travel east or west until you reach two small fires indicating the entrance to the Elven villiage of Voloh.
