Origins
Like some adventuring parties, the heroes of Baldur's Gate first came together by pure chance. Some time between the, and the , Delina came to the city of Baldur's Gate searching for her estranged brother Deniak. She arrived on the night of a full moon and was set after by a pair of gargoyles who pursued through the Upper City. During the chase, a pair of helpful members of the Watch fell to the stone beasts.

Eventually Delina stumbled into famous statue known as the Beloved Ranger in the Wide. When casting at the gargoyles, one of her spells backfired, emitting a wild surge that struck the statue and "brought back" the personalities it depicted — Minsc and Boo. The ranger Minsc mistook Delina for one of his former traveling companions, Neera, with whom he traveled the century prior. The Rashemi berserker defeated the two elemental predators and the pair ran off before they could be apprehended by other guards of Watch.

During their escape, the Delina and Minsc rain into two thieves, Krydle and Shandie, who possessed no ill intent but rather offered their newfound "friends" some shelter within their hideout. After some getting to know one another, the thieves agreed to sneak the sorceress, ranger and hamster into the Lower City to evade the grasp of the Watch.

Cult of the Dragon
The group traveled to the Undercellar and met with The Fetcher. Together, the two parties agree that, in exchange for information of Delina's brother and safe passage to the lower city, Minsc, Delina, Krydle and Shandie would deliver the Fetcher's letter a certain member of the Parliament of Peers.

After the meeting, the adventurers were ambushed by agents of the Cult of the Dragon. After routing their attackers and regrouping in their headquarters, Krydle set off alone to deliver the letter. When Shandie revealed that the parliament member was in fact Coran, Krydle's father, Minsc became excited to hear the name of another old friend. He immediately chased after Krydle towards the revel that parliament members were hosting.

At the revel, Krydle briefly reunited with his father and delivered the Fetcher's letter. The rest of the party had made their way in as well and ran into the cultists that had attacked them earlier in the night. A fight broke out between the party and the cultists and Watch members intervened. The melee moved from within the grand building to the surrounding rooftops, and at a moment when she was caught on her own, Delina was captured by the cultists.

After a short chase the head cultist saw that Delina had been apprehended and immediately killed his subordinates. Taking off his mask, he revealed himself to be Deniak, the brother she had traveled so far to meet again. Deniak brought her to his lair in Brampton, and began to lay out the dark ritual he had prepared to appease the yet-returned goddess of dragons, Tiamat.

After interrogating one of the cultists, learning all about Deniak and his evil scheme, Krydle, Shandie and Minsc leveraged that information against the Fetcher and set out for Brampton.
