I'm just wondering why the travel time between the same places is different? To be more specific:
From Gnoll Stronghold TO West of Nashkel (the place directly West) is 48 hours (48!!), but from West Nashkel TO Gnoll Stronghold is only 20 hours. I've run into the a few other times too.
Any ideas as to why this is?

Thanks.
Hal

For whatever reason, the game will sometimes not take the fastest route to get to an area. Looking at this travel chart...

http://www.pottsland.com/baldur/maps/travelchart.shtml

... it would appear that your group travelled from the Knoll Stronghold to Dryad's Forest (24 hrs) and then to the Xvart Forest (24 hrs), a total of 48 hrs. But from the Xvart Forest you can travel directly to the Knoll Stronghold (20 hrs). I don't really have an explaination for why the game behaves this way, but at least now you can follow the travel chart to see what's going on.

IIRC there is a opening roughly halfway down the 'west of Nashkel' map. This leads directly to Gnoll Stronghold. Perhaps you take the long route around if you don't use that exitpoint.
