| To get to Baldur's Gate, you have to go through the area north of the Friendly Arm Inn.
As for your party's level, it depends on the number of quests you have done. If your party was 5th or 6th Level when you finished the Cloakwood Mines, you are probably on the right track. Keep in mind that the experience limit is 89,000 experience points per person (161,000 points if you have installed Tales of the Sword Coast). You will gain a lot of experience in Badur's Gate and the new areas that you'll reach in Chapters 6 and 7. I like to do all of the sidequests prior to Chapter 6, including the new quests in Tales of the Sword Coast. |
