The Flaming Fist camp settles here once you manage to get past the Coast Way Crossing. Two more companions become available. It also becomes the launch point for your search for the Wardstone that will give you access to Bridgefort at Boareskyr Bridge, and then on to Dragonspear Castle.
Here is your initial point of entry. The edge of the map provides access to the World Map. But Boareskyr Bridge will be the only other area accessible from the World Map when you first get here.
A Gnome adventurer named Glint will wander about the camp at random, and is willing to join your party. If he joins your party but is subsequently kicked out, he will appear to settle down next to Lieutenant Otilda at 9.
Here is Thaird, who continues to provide an Inn with resting options for the camp.
Here are Half-Orcs named Farrl, Kava and Rend. They are the focus of the Quest called The Irregulars.
Monsters will be here to fight. Could be Displacer Beasts, or could be Boring Beetles and Bombardier Beetles. Monsters can also respawn here after resting.
There will be Ogres, Ogre Berserkers and Half-Ogre Veterans led by an Ogre-Magi to fight here. The Ogre-Magi will have some treasure and a random Scroll or two. The others may have random Potions.
There will be a horde of Orcs here. The Orc Leader has a Potion of Agility and a Potion of Healing. The Orc Archers each have 2 Arrows +1, which they'll use up before firing regular arrows.
Near them, on the south edge of the Woods, is a dead body that has a Mace called Glimmer of Hope +2.
A few bandits here will try to shake you down, at least until one of them recognizes you as the Hero of Baldur's Gate. Then they'll try to run. You can kill all of them on the spot with a Fireball from a Wand of Fire before they run away. They'll leave behind plenty of Arrows of Fire and Scrolls of Melf's Acid Arrow.
Groups of Phase Spiders or Swords Spiders, each led by a Gargantuan Spider, will be at these spots.
There will be groups of Trolls to fight at these points.
There will be a refugee family here. It's up to you whether or not you give them 10gp. There's no in-game consequence either way.
Jaheira and Voghiln will be here. You can recruit either or both of them to join your party then and there, or persuade them to join up with the camp at 1. They can be recruited afterwards at that point.
Jaheira will also indicate that somebody stole a Wardstone and made off with it to a nearby Temple of Bhaal, and that it can be used to teleport inside Bridgestone.
Also here will be an exit to the World Map. Clicking on the exit also opens up access to Boareskyr Bridge and the Forest of Wyrms.
*NOTE* Travelling to either location, or travelling from either location back to here, can result in an encounter with a horde of Goblins led by a Goblin Chieftain. The Goblin Chieftain himself has two Potions of Healing and a Potion of Strength. The bodies of adventurers killed by the Goblins will also be strewn about. One has 20 Arrows of Piercing. Another has a Short Sword +1, and another has a Composite Longbow +1 and 20 Arrows +2. There will also be three Ankhegs in the northwest corner of the area.
ALSO, there will be a large gaping pit in the middle of the area. You can go down it after clicking on it twice, once to identify it and a second time when the mouse-clicker over it becomes a stairs icon. The pit leads to a cave. There will be three Red Myconids and a Shrieker immediately west. Near the Myconids will be a dead body that has the following:
A Letter addressed to someone named Ventriss that provides a tie in with the main events of Baldur's Gate 2.
The cave will bend north, then east and then south. You'll find another three Red Myconids and a Shrieker. A nearby dead body has an Elven Chain Mail and a Long Sword called Spell Breaker. A niche that is closeby will have a Star Sapphire.
