OK. I guess I was off-base, but the game gave me the impression that the nation of Amn was beyond the boundaries of the Sword Coast world map, that if you're ever in Amn, it's in one or more of the sequel games, that Baldur's Gate is the capital city of the Sword Coast region, and that the presence of Amnish soldiers in Nashkel is just indicative of the rising tensions between Amn and Baldur's Gate. Whatever. To answer Arledrian, I know I could make a straighter shot of our trek down to Durlag's Tower, but I thought it would be nice to revisit Beregost and Nashkel on the way down. I like these towns more than Baldur's Gate, and there's the lure of a nice inn rest after a round of drinks, and I thought I might see if Volo's still there to talk to---I gave him the cold shoulder when first we met, since I figured he'd be long-winded, it'd be stuff I already knew, and I was anxious to make some headway. Never let it be said that I'm not roleplaying, because I am, and because the make-believe aspect of games like this is very dear to my heart.
