Wyrm's Crossing

Wyrm's Crossing is the only way to enter Baldur's Gate by land. When the party comes here before Chapter Five, the drawbridge is raised, with a Flaming Fist Mercenary explaining that the disturbances down south have the Grand Dukes of Baldur's Gate worried and entrance to the city is currently prohibited. In Chapter Five, the Flaming Fist guard instead inquires of the party if they are the ones everyone is talking about, and requests that they talk to his commander, Scar, who asks them to investigate the Seven Suns trading company in Southwest Baldur's Gate.
* Tel-anon, a Harper, appears at the southeastern corner of the bridge if the party's Reputation is lower than 4. He can be convinced that the party will not fight him. It is against his principles to attack the defenseless, so he goes away.
* Tenya is in front of her house, north end of the east side of the river. She is the 'evil witch' the farmers in the Fishing Village were complaining of. She will not explain her side of the situation willingly, though, and if Gorion's Ward presses her, she will go hostile. The party will have to reduce Tenya's HP (without killing her) to continue the quest;http://www.gamebanshee.com/baldursgate/locations/ar1400.php the only way to be sure of attacking her without killing her is to unequip a single weapon slot for each attacking party member and use the Fist icon to attack; reducing her HP to zero this way renders her unconscious.http://www.syntax2000.co.uk/issues/64/baldur6.sol.txt
* Just north of Tenya's house, at 4080, 120, an Ankheg, which has eaten poor Nester and his dagger too, awaits unsuspecting travelers. Keep the dagger for Quinn's quest.
* Quayle, Gnome Cleric / Illusionist is by the city gate. Hard to miss him, as there are only two people in the bridge area and one of them is a Flaming Fist Mercenary.
* Tomlin, a smuggler. In Chapter Seven he will approach you and tell you of your criminal status. He can smuggle you across the bridge for 100gp. There is no one to stop you on the bridge though so his service is worthless.
* Enhanced Edition-exclusive: After making a certain amount of progress in Dorn's personal quest, Simmeon and his evil followers can be found across the bridge to the north. This is a difficult fight, but can yield great rewards.
Optional: an extra area, easily missed, on the west side of the river: Farmlands.

* Leaving the area from the north leads to different areas, depending on whether you leave on the west side of the river to the Farmlands or the east side to Ulgoth's Beard.
