I am not good at this game. How do I get back to town from level 1? I am trying to find the stairs up but only find the stairs down.

Um, level 1 is the first level, use the stairs you entered it from. They are already on your map since that's where you started. We can't tell you more then that since level are randomly generated, so short of you sharing your save or a picture of the map we can't know where it is.
