In this chapter, David's party, passing through the region of the Dryad Falls with a few minor adventures along the way, reaches the Gnoll Stronghold, storms it in a series of bloody encounters with the gnolls guarding it, and rescue a weakened Dynaheir from the gnoll pits (much to the displeasure of Edwin the Red Wizard, whom David manages to calm down, then leaves behind in the Pits). On their way back to Nashkel, the party passes through the Bear River region, with a few more minor encounters and skirmishes on the road.
[NOTE: This video is part of a re-recording of my playthrough of Baldur's Gate, which will be fairly similar to the original one but with some technical improvements (several installed mods restoring cut content and introducing more dialog and banter options; use of SweetFX for brighter and more vibrant colors; more zooming in on the actual party; various tweaks and improvements on original decisions).]
