Great big tip: Take the link in my sig and start reading. Pages and pages of good stuff, with nary a spoiler to be found.

The starting dungeon is rather a pain in the butt if you're new to the game, but just remember: Hey--it's a dungeon. You were put here to be tortured. It's supposed to be unpleasant.

Since you say you annoyed Jaheira into leaving (not really your fault, she tends to get rather huffy if you say the wrong thing), I would actually start the game over if I were you: At this point, the more people you can have on your side, the better.

Encumbrance: In the bottom-left-hand corner of your Inventory screen, you'll see a picture of a backpack and two numbers: One is that character's Weight Allowance, the other is how much weight that character is currently holding. Go even a single pound above your allowance, and your movement rate will be cut in half. Go about 15% more than your allowance, and you won't be able to walk at all.
