You will now be in a forested area with wide winding paths through it. The overhead map will help you find your way to the west to a house with a garden. Inside the house is an elevator. Go down the elevator and explore the north exit. There are many goodies in here, including a spell book of magic missile that will bump your skill at that spell up a level. When you return to the elevator room, a rogue who shouts, "He's down here," will attack you! Once you defeat him and return to the little house by going up the elevator, you will find the house surrounded by enemies. Kill them and head north of the house, killing more rogues there. An elevator in the yard leads down.
You will find yourself in some more tunnels. A main tunnel heads southeast, and the first doorway to your northeast (which is quite a distance down the main tunnel) leads to a chest that holds a silver key. Take this key farther along the hallway until you enter a wooden door that triggers a cutscene. A bandit named Gilgore challenges his men to be the first to kill you and thus begins your first tough battle as a wizard.
Gilgore is a warrior and can block your magic missiles with his shield. When he blocks, however, he must pause, and he gets knocked back for a moment. Your lightning spell can hurt him, so use a combination of magic missile, lightning, and retreating to defeat Gilgore in the twisty hallways. Then, take on the rest of his band and grab the amulet of teleportation from his hideout.
An exit to the southeast is partially blocked by a boulder. Push it and slip by. The hallway soon ends in a hole, which leads to a newly loaded level. Proceed northeast through these new tunnels until you find a hole in the ground. Drop in it. You will battle some scorpions and find a sapphire key on the ground next to a skeleton. Pick it up and head north.
Soon, you will find a gate, which you can exit through. Curl around to your north and go through a wooden door, where you will find the elevator that will bring you up to Horvath's room. Speak to him, and he will usher you to your next quest.
