BALDUR'S GATE - CENTRAL
Ratchild
Now I go north to the central section of the city. I then go down a sewer grate that's a little to the right. I come within view of a Kobold named Ratchild, who has the rest of his tribe attack me. In SCS he comes with several pre-buffs, although this fight is still more than winnable for a higher-level party, especially when Imoen manages to catch several Commandos with her Wand of Fire.
Dabron Sashenstar
Now I head up the rampart, and then west a little. Dabron Sashenstar, the brother of Aldeth, attacks me. He's by himself and not very tough, but still ... Doom can't hurt. Once he dies, he leaves behind a Morningstar +1 and the Heavy Crossbow of Accuracy (+2 damage, +5 THAC0).
Nadine and Euric
Now I head for a house towards the northeast corner of the area. A Halfling woman named Euric wants me to bring the Amulet of Protection +1 that she gives me to her son, Euric.
Euric can be found in a tavern at the southern edge of the southeast section of the city. I get 1,100xp for giving him the Amulet.
As an aside, there is a woman upstairs named Sanadal Gwist, who initially feigns compassionate concern for Carbos and Shank (the petty thugs who tried to kill Avastrian in Candlekeep), but then reveals a grudge over money if she's pressed enough.
I then go back to Nadine and get 400xp, +1 to reputation, and a Necklace of Missiles.
I now head over to the west section of the city.
