So I'm in Baldur's Gate (the city). I'm trying to get to Splurging Sturgeon. I've tried coming in from the east via the north section of the city only to wind up next to where you first encounter Merck and Lothandar. How do I get to the other side of the Northeast section of Baldur's gate. Here's a link to a pic.

Northeast Section of Baldur's Gate

NEVERMIND! I got it. I was only in the central section. Not the north section.

Yeah, getting to that part of the map is annoying. At least it was for me. Another method, that might be a bit faster, is to use the sewers to travel to the Splurgin Sturgeon. It should be pretty easy to get to that section of the city via this method.

EDIT:
Had to change my reply because I got the Sturgeon and the Mermaid mixed up. Pretty much invalidated half of what I said.
