The party emerged from the portal and found themselves in Duskhome. The Elven town was destroyed and burnt down, and its citizens massacred; the perpetrators of the crime were the human Lord Bastar and his knights. Lord Bastar had been searching for Torion, who used to be the minotaur that guarded his labyrinth. Thorry the Reckless tried to talk to the human lord but was ignored. Vanielle and Hadarai, both hated elves in Lord Bastar's eyes, were considered vermin by the elf slayer. The heroes fought against Lord Bastar's soldiers and archers, but Torion, who struggled and fought for his life, was dragged away. Thorry the Reckless, smartly left the battlefield, however Vanielle and Hadarai found themselves overwhelmed by the soldiers' assault.
Elius, true knight of Pelor and Torion's trainer in the ways of the fighter, found the party and led them to his cabin in the woods in order to recover their wounds. Meanwhile, Torion fought against three duplicates that resembled Thorry the Reckless, Vanielle and Hadarai. The demon lord, Baphomet, the horned king and lord of minotaurs, granted Torion the power to defeat the duplicates.
Torion and the rest of the party infiltrated the labyrinth in two separate groups. First they encountered a group of spitting drakes and a dark drake of the moon. Second they encountered a group of myconids (mushroom people). Vanielle's treasure hunting sense led the party further into the labyrinth.
