What would be achieved by having the PCs go on a hunt for cultists in Little Calimshan or wherever? What would be the goal? What would they learn? They already know that the cultists will eventually show up in Blackgate to hire new wagons and such, so there's no real reason for them to go snooping around.I could just throw a completely random and unrelated city-based mini-adventure in to give them a chance to do a bit of sightseeing in the Gate or something, I suppose.I *have* arranged for one of the PCs in the group to actually be from Baldur's Gate. The player had established that her character was a noble but had never actually chosen anywhere specific for her to be from, so I suggested she make her character be a member of one of the Gate's minor noble houses. She liked that idea, and is going to read up on the city. But I'm still not entirely sure what that will achieve. A sightseeing tour could potentially be quite boring. I need to whip up some potential for real conflict.Maybe her family has fallen on hard times and her family home is all boarded up and she has some reason why she needs to break in, but she and the other PCs need to make sure the Watch doesn't catch them and so on and so forth?I suppose I could also make the Baldur's Gate scenes be about the hunt for Talis. The PCs hadn't left Greenest yet when we last played, so I can still have them encounter Talis' house with some clues pointing to the Gate. When they get there, they can ask around to see if anyone's seen Talis. But I dunno. That still sounds like it could be somewhat boring.Anyone got any ideas?</blockquote>
