The stormwater grates on the ground in all areas of Baldur's Gate are not just decoration; they are passageways to three areas with connections to the whole of the city, even the Iron Throne, the Undercellar and Ducal Palace. They make for a useful shortcut once you get used to all of the different exit points within them.
West Sewers[]
- Exit to the basement of the Iron Throne Headquarters at the northwest end.
- Schlumpsha the Sewer King and crew -2235, 2065.
- Exit to Undercellar (Dillar's Office) is passage just south of exit to Iron Throne.
Central Sewers[]
Exit to the Ducal Palace in the west, second passage from the top
- Ratchild -2305, 2090, with his party of Kobold Commandos, hails the party and then attacks, just like any surface highwayman group. Because he engages the party in conversation, the expedient strategy of attacking with ranged is compromised, so make sure to send a character ahead with Fire protection on them (Protection from Fire scroll, Potion of Fire Resistance, Resist Fire and Cold divine spell, all of them +50%; Batalista's Passport +40%; Arcane or Divine Protection from Fire spells +100%). 350 XP, twenty Arrows of Fire.
East Sewers[]
Ogre Mage and Carrion Crawler pets at 1335, 1590. These creatures are the target of a quest Missing Citizens given by Flaming Fist member Scar. Loot includes: Bastard Sword +1

and (Sashenstar's) Ruby Ring; return the ring to Scar; do not sell it and be carefull when interacting with Farmer Brun in Area North of the Friendly Arm because he will would take any Ruby Rings should the player return his son's body and offer him gold. Should the worst come to the worst, the quest can still be completed without the ring, but Scar will give a lesser reward. A possible solution is to find another ring; there is one in Durlag's Tower.
