It is now time to go to the beautiful city of Baldur's Gate. To get there you need to go back to the Friendly Arm Inn and exit North to the Fisherman Village. Exit the Fisherman Village from the North to Wyrm's Crossing and cross the bridge. Once on the other side you will meet a Flaming Fist Mercenary. Tell him what you want (he is going to take 6 gold from everyone reguardless) and he will summon his Commander, Scar, the second in command of the Flaming Fist. Tell him the truth and then tell him you are not intrested (he is trying to give you a sub quest).
Go through the gate and follow the road to the west. The entrance to sorta hard to find, go through the arch, enter the city and enjoy the movie.
Once in Baldur's Gate you start off in the south-eastern part of the map. Head south-west and exit this area to the south end of town. Walk north-west and head for the Iron Throne. Once there lie or bribe your way past the guard and go to the stairs. Keep climbing them until you get into a fight.
A little warning. These are not your normal Acolates. Zhalimar Cloudwulfe is one mean SOB! His lackies, Alai, Diyab, Naaman, Aasim and Thaldorn are not too shabby either. There is also a Doppleganger hanging out with them. The best way I found to take them out is by only sending my maxed out Mage/Theif up the last set of stairs alone. Cast a Invisible spell on himself as soon as he gets up there and head for the rooms to the south. I had 2 Potions of Explosions and 2 Fireball spells. All those spent and they were pretty much beat up. A couple of Arrows of Biting into each lacky finnished them off. Zhalimar will still be pretty strong so I used back-stab and haste my way to a hiding spot to get back into shadows to back-stab again. Repeat this until he forgets how to breathe. |
After you bring an abrupt end to their lives get the letter off of Zhalimar's lifeless body, go back down stairs and exit the Iron Throne. Go west and exit to the South-West part of town. Travel west to the Flaming Fist Headquarters and talk to Scar. He will lead you to talk to Duke Eltan. The Duke doesn't know you have alread been there so he is going to ask you to go find out what is going on at the Iron Throne. Agree to his tearms and end the conversation. Now talk to him again and tell him everything you know and he will give you a book.
Momma, I'm commin' home. Thats right! You have just earned an all expense paid trip back to your home town of Candle Keep!
This would be a good time to go and see your better half and spend some quality time with them because this concludes Chapter 5. Please leave your seats in the upright position and make sure the car is fully stopped before exiting.
