Story transcript

Frieren: Another human city. They always build them so... defensively.

Frieren: I wonder how much it's changed in the last century.

Shadowheart: Halt, traveler. State your business in Baldur's Gate.

Shadowheart: We've had enough strange visitors causing trouble lately.

Frieren: I'm merely passing through. Looking for knowledge from your archives, perhaps.

Frieren: Last time I was here, there was a lovely bookshop near the harbor...

Karlach: Shadowheart, ease up! Can't you tell she's an elf? Probably older than this city!

Karlach: Welcome to Baldur's Gate, though fair warning - it's a bit of a mess right now.

Gale: Did I hear correctly? A fellow arcanist seeking knowledge?

Gale: That bookshop is long gone, I'm afraid. But the Sorcerous Sundries might interest you instead.

Lae'zel: Another wanderer with no purpose. Waste of time.

Lae'zel: (Though she carries herself like a warrior. Perhaps she knows something of value...)

Frieren: My, what an interesting welcome committee. This city has certainly become more... diverse.

Frieren: Is that a githyanki? Now I'm genuinely curious what's happening in Baldur's Gate.

Shadowheart: You have no idea. Mind flayers, devils, dragons... it's been quite the tenday.

Shadowheart: But for someone who's traveled as long as you have, that's just another Baldur's Gate welcome, isn't it?
