    Have Imoen detect for those web traps, that will help considerably. You and Imoen should be good at ranged weapons, send Kaigan up front since he can handle it. Finally, have Xan backup with magic and range when possible.
    Also, have antidotes in your quick slots, you may need them.

    Also it could be nice if You could dig up a potion of invulnerability, It improves your saving throws by 5. Great against those annoying web traps and ettercaps' holding ability, also try drinking potions that improve your trapfinding, and disarm the damn webtraps, before the get activivated.

    I'd suggest picking up two more party members, if only for the remainder of Cloakwood. Granted, I'm not the best gamer, but I had considerable trouble with even a party of six, all at lvl 6 and above.:-{

    2 things I offer...
    First, cast invisibility and search out all the traps and disarm them over the whole map.
    Second, if you can't do invisibility, then use thief stealth and free action potions or rely on luck and just trip all the traps over the whole map.

    Whichever of them you do, you need to disable those webs or the spiders and ettercaps will have you hard. As previously stated, use alot of missile fire on them and try to move slow enough that you don't annoy alot of monsters at one time.

    You probably need a stronger party for those sectors...go level up some or add members as someone else stated.

    I have not got to teh cloack wood section yet! I am exploring all areas to the south of Candlekeep and my six member party are like this

    fighter level 5
    fighter\cleric 4\4
    thief x 2 level 5
    Specilist mages x 2 level 5

    I reckon I can get up another level or two before I get near there. I still have half the southeren portion of the map to do.

    My advice is to take a trip and gain a couple more levels , Thing may not be as difficult when you return ;)

    What is so hard about tbis map? Use trap detection... for the rest I didn't had much problems. Beware that you don't encounter too much spiders at the same time, and make that you aren't "webbed" at that moment, then it is hard.

    Headbanger, its not a hard sector for a balanced party. The poster has a soft party and low levels (weak saving throws). Its doable with a soft party and/or low levels but its not gonna be a walk through the park...its gonna take some caution and few mistakes.
