Bear River

Area North of Gnoll Stronghold, also known as Bear Riverhttp://www.forgottenwars.com/bg1/ar4600.htm is an area accessible from the World Map.
==Encounters==
*Northern bridge, an ambush by 2 Ogre Berserkers and 3 Hobgoblin Elite archers spread along the bridge in or on the western side in . The archers shoot poison arrows. Strategies, roughly in order of preference:
**approach from the west after crossing the southern bridge ( only),
**retreat to the east and engage the Ogre Berserkers out of range of as many of the archers as possible ( only),
**engage with a full party of ranged attackers and engage one enemy at the time – two ogres can be lured away from archers,
**avoid the whole thing.
*Neville at 3800.850 is an unusually polite bandit. He has 5 hobgoblins hidden in the trees to help him.
*Jared at one end of the southern bridge (4675.3665) and a bear at the other meet up for the side quest Jared and the Bear .
*A Hungry Ogre at 415.920 offers little besides some entertaining dialog.
*Laurel is a Paladin at 1275.1115 with a quest for you: help her fend off The Gibberling Hordes.
