Torment was told that the temple of Nephthys may have information that are prophecies about those called the "marked." Prophecies talking about the mark, those who gain it goes mad. Temple of Nephthys
The party all tried their hand at fishing and managed to land the legendary Salmon. They asked about the mark, which is how they learned about the "marked."
The party arrived at Baldur's Gate and was allowed to enter after the boat crew hired stevedores to carry their goods.
