      Head to the bathhouse in Baldur’s Gate and retrieve our Queen’s stolen treasure. The bathhouse is located in the northern portion of the Lower City. It has a walled garden  frolicking nymphs carved into its front gates. If Duke Vanthampur thinks she can use our Queen’s treasure to buy the loyalty of the Cult of the Dead Three she is sorely mistaken. I’ll be looking for you in Baldur’s Gate when I arrive. Bring the treasure to me then or Ultiss will come for you.
