In the Underdark where the petrified Dark Elves are located you have the poison gas clouds, but the second one is where the problem lay. When I go to climb the vines I get tot he top and simply phase into the ground and slowly slide to the bottom of the chasm instantly killing any character that climbs it.
I had the same issue, compounded by it not allowing me to travel back to camp because one of my companions (the dead one), couldn't travel.
