You get ambushed

"If we ever get separeted, go to the Friendly Arm Inn. There you will find Khalid and Jaheira. They have long been my friends and they can help you." says your father shortly before leaving the city. These words only confuse you more: why should you separate? Who is after you that wants to kill you? You know how to fight even if you can't cast spells yet, but your not really confident about your combat abilities, but you know that Gorion should be a poweful spellcaster. You should be able to handle some bandits, poor fellows driven to thievery because of the iron crisis.

You two walk for three hours, but then the sun sets and darkness embrace all around you. You don't feel so confident anymore, Candlekeep's walls can't protect you anymore.

You then see some fires in the distance. Torches. Of course, bandits could attack with the dark to ambush poor traveleres, but then you see the huge man in armor with burning bright eyes and you understand that you are not in front of common bandits. Right behind the armored man you notice a cute girl with eyes like the ones people from Kara-Tur have, as you have seen in books. There are a pair of ogres and other armed foes. The next word of the giant man confirm that this ambush is meant for you.

"Give us the boy, and maybe we could leave you alive." says the armored foe, with a calm but menacing tone.

Gorion tells you to leave, and you go the farest that you can. You see the wizard easily killing the enchmen that throw themselves at him with his spells, but then it's the armored giant turn. He easily stabs Gorion, who doesn't make a sound as he dies.

There is nothing you can do. You stay hidden all night, hoping that they leave if they don't find you.

At some point you fall asleep. The next morning you meet someone.
