There is a tunnel, which it could be. The very first way to Slinsk was a cave to the left of the church, where you get the Paladin Quest. But i have no idea, if it's the cave mentioned in the college. And if it's the cave, i have no idea how to trigger the Rulwe thing.

You start with 0 this is correct. You are an empty letter at the beginning of the game. While playing you make decisions so your morality gets higher or lower. If you are a bad boy/girl it will go in the negative (like -24 for example). So you don't be already the good Hero in the game but you can become it. Or the rogue hero. The choice is yours.
