As the group leaves the opposite side of the the Flaming Fist fortress of Wyrm's Rock, they step back onto the great bridge spanning the Chionthar. After a quarter hour of navigating the crowds, they reach the far shore. From there, it's a short walk to the Basilisk Gate, the massive entrance to Baldur's Gate's Lower City.
Aldous points out the stone statues set into the walls around the Basilisk Gate. "These are all depictions of the Grand Dukes. Remember the story about my pirate ancestor? His likeness was the first to be put here. See, there he is!" The young noble gestures to the tall statue just to the left of the city gate. "The first Grand Duke Silvershield."
The Flaming Fist soldiers at the Basilisk Gate give the group a respectful nod, then make a show of questioning them. A few minutes later, the party steps into the city of Baldur's Gate itself.
The place is huge. There are buildings and people everywhere, as far as the eye can see down one street and up the other. Narrow alleyways squeeze between structures easily three or four stories high.
One building in particular catches the party's attention, one with a tall, glittering dome of blue and green. A large sign with alit with magical glow reads Sorcerous Sundries. "One of the greatest shops of magical scrolls and items on all of the Sword Coast!" Aldous proudly informs the group. "I'm sure you'll want to peruse their many wares at some point! We could actually make a stop there now, if you like."When the group's ready, Koveras takes up the lead. "We have no business caring for the little girl. Better to give her to someone in the Temple District. Come, this way."
