Prologue

The prologue is the first part of Baldur's Gate.

You will begin the game outside the Candlekeep Inn and have nothing but some gold and a Quarter Staff. There are many green robed tutors around the grounds who if talked to will help you to play the game.

You can talk to the people of Candlekeep and they will give you sub-quests from which you can gain gold or experience.

Both Shank in the Priest's Quarters and Carbos in the Bunkhouse will attack you. They are easy to defeat as they both just carry a dagger.

When you are finished in Candlekeep, talk to Gorion on the steps of the library and the two of you will leave Candlekeep.

On the journey, you and Gorion will be ambushed by an armored figure and his three lackeys. You will be hit by a Flame Arrow and Gorion will die to save you. After the ambush Chapter 1 will begin.
