*Warning* Cheese tactic ahead...
Have you tried luring him to the shore and then assaulting him with arrows? For those of you unfamiliar with this tactic, it's very simple. There is a small island on the lake on that map. Give anyone capable of using a bow as may arrows as possible and post them there. Send a crap NPC (Garrick works well) to lure him and the group of gnolls to the south shore ot the lake(attack the gnolls first so they follow you) Your archers should just be able to see him and can start attacking him w/o him retalling. Drizzt will of course, kill the npc and go hostile, but the gnolls sorrounding him will keep him in place, so there's no chance of the pathfinding screwing up and doing something right by having Drizzt walk around the lake. If you can, charm a few Gnolls and have them attack, any little bit helps since you'll have to rely on crits to even touch him. (he has 96 hp) You'll lose 5 rep points but can gain 10000 xp. I managed to kill him at level 2/1 with my thief-mage. Shot me to level 4.3. Had to charm like 3 gnolls and used about 120 arrows though. After you kill him, just snipe the rest of the gnolls and pick up ur goods.
