We start on our way to deal with hyenas, which I'm proud of because we managed to actually do what we wanted to do without distraction. The hyena fight is pretty easy, until at the end everyone repositions behind Karlach, triggering the following gnoll fight.

Let's talk about the horrible experience that the rescue at Waukeen's Rest is. The camera angles are bad. You can trigger things through doors; broken doors that should not have built up pressure or smoke, because they're broken, so that should escape, still trigger explosions. It's unclear, due to the bad cameras, what areas are inside or outside; spiders can't climb walls. It's all in all, a bad experience for what should be a tense double rescue mission. At least it forwards the plot, tells us who Wyll's dad is, and gets us to learn that sometimes Create Water won't douse fire.

The fight with Flind is just straight up fun. Nothing to really comment on there.
