i've read a couple of the books too, after Drizzt comes out of the underdark it takes some time for his equpiment to dustify.
On the subject of drizzt, there is always something that bothered me about the encounter with him south of High hedge.
If you manage to kill Drizzt shouldnt he have on his body the statue that calls Gwen?
As far as i remember Drizzt always carried the statue, the only time he didnt have it was when Pasha pook had it in his possesion, and even then Gwen disobeyed his commands because he was loyal to Drizzt.
So if you manage to kill Drizzt should he have the statue and if you summon Gwen he attacks you.. it would make more sence.

So about keeping the drow items, i managed to keep them by clua into the friendly arm inn, stuffed them all into the chest and went back for more

I know its cheating but i wanted that drow cloak for my thief.
