One of the mods introduces expanded Sarevok's journal, and it provides some explanation: it says that Semaj's agents herded Charname and Gorion into ambush. I assume it took some time - you can do all of Candlekeep's quests in less than in-game hour, and cutscene always takes place at night. I imagine that Gorion could simply deplete his contingencies and utility spells like "haste", "invisibility", and so on. After all the best way to deal with mage is to force him to use all of his spells in the way you control. That's how I headcannon events in game.
@Raduziel: It's a reference to a very old comment on this forum, years ago. A user was complaining about Drizzt being too easy to defeat, but he or she apparently had removed the XP cap, which meant they could get a higher-level druid that could summon werebears who were immune to Drizzt's weapons, which was impossible in the unmodded game. People poked fun at them for modding the game to make it easier and then complaining that the game was too easy.
@semiticgod Thanks, for one moment I thought that it was something I never saw in the game (like the scroll of Cloudkill that I've discovered only last year).
ah, so the mystery is revealed, i remember when this werebear thing came in, but it was apparently a forum secret and no one would spill the beans, and here i was in the darkness thinking what in the sweet hades everyone was talking about, now i have been enlightened and the world is a better place, hoi hoi hoi hoi hoi
I don't think I was even around back then. I think I ran into it when I was reading old posts on the forum. The forum had a very different vibe back then; it's changed a lot over the years.

Also someone needs to make a Duck race mod for BG.
