With the Coast Way Crossing destroyed, the only safe route across the Winding Water is Boareskyr Bridge-where your father, Bhaal, was murdered by the mad god Cyric. Each step toward the distant landmark fills you with unease.
You are not alone in that. The Flaming Fist also fear what may lie ahead. If Caelar has destroyed the Boareskyr Bridge, the expedition will not reach Dragonspear Castle in time to stop the crusade. The forces of Baldur’s Gate and its allies will be outmatched. Slaughtered.
These fears grip your allies but also drive them forward. The anxious whispers fall silent when the march is called to a halt less than a day’s travel from Boareskyr. The Flaming Fist sets up camp and prepares for the next meeting with the crusade, while you plan your next move.

Caelar writes letters of condolences to families who’ve lost loved ones fighting for the crusade.

Hephernaan subversively keeps Caelar focused on the task at hand.
