On a desperate rush to seek safety within the walls of Baldur's Gate, your hopes are dashed when you and your family are ambushed on the road by a group of thieves... thieves who claim to have ridden from Baldur's Gate to find you. Scattered by the suddenness of the thieves' attack, you return to the scene of the ambush to find your sister has been abducted. You must find her... before whatever terrible plots involving her unfold.
