A letter could be found resting against the outer wall of the Fist Compound by any with a decent pair of eyes. The envelope is sealed with a length of leather cord, and no symbolizing seal, or otherwise.
Dear Protectors of Baldur's Gate,
It has been my luck to have stumbled upon some good, and terrible news. I recently overheard from a set of unbecoming types that the Temple of Mask has been found stashed away inside an establishment deep in the Cloakwood. My interest keen to pick up anything that I can so to help the Fist, I continued to listen. It seems there was a patrol that was seen headed deep into the woods, and that they had yet to be seen leaving. From the sounds of things, it was believe they had been the most recent victims to the hand of the Masked Lords servants.
I hope with all my prayers that this threat may be unearthed and quelled. I will continue my diligence, and hope to provide help. For my own safety I'd like to remain a simple good-doer of the city, I do not wish to face the unwelcome attention of any shadowy sorts.
Best wishes, and may the Fist continue to Protect with Courage and Honor!
The note is left unsigned, and holds no distinctive traits.

A soldier finds the letter, and after reading it, quickly gives it to his commading officer, Captain Cross...
"Interesting... but also suspicious...", remarked Captain Cross after reading the message. He was in the Flaming Fist barracks, and several of his men stood at the ready in front of his desk.
"Sergeant! I want you to take your patrol and scout out the Cloakwood! See if you can find our missing men!"
The sergeant gave a curt salute. "Yes, sir! At once!"
"And keep a keen eye out," continued Cross. "The woods are a dangerous place... and if this Temple of Mask is located there as well, it's even deadlier than before..."
A few days later, several patrols of Flaming Fist scouts can be seen leaving the city and heading towards the Cloakwood...
