The more henchmans you have the less XP you'll get, so one henchman I think is a good choice.

CHAPTER 1
***************************************************************
1. Waterdeep
You'll appear in a small room. Level up your character until levels 12-15 and rest.
Watch the cutscene with Valsharess and drows and you'll be attacked by thief.
Kill him and talk to Tamsil the innkeeper's daughter. Then go to the armory for some equipment and exit this area. In the next area you'll encounter a lot of people. There are also old henchmans from NWN OC: Daelan, Sharwyn, Linu, Tomi.
Talk to some people to know more about situation and go to the next door. Speak with Durnan and fight some enemies who attacked the inn. After fight go to well room and fight soldiers then watch another cutscene. Talk to Durnan and then talk to white Theste (she will give you ressurection rod). You can take Deekin with you as a henchman. main quest: Descent into Undermountain
You'll need to enter the Undermountain to explore the situation here. The
Undermountain is some kind of maze which was created by powerful mad wizard
Halaster. But before going to the well I'll recommend you to explore Waterdeep.
There is a smith and magic shop here. You can use the telescop in the magic shop to see the battle. Supply yourself with necessary things and go to the well. It will be good to have some item with True Seening spell because there are a lot of secret doors in the dungeon.
Well
There is a goblin Grovel here. He is harmless and you can help him. There is also a skeleton warrior here, kill him and enter the Undermountain.
***************************************************************
2. Undermountain: Level 1
Undermountain: Level 1 Central
There is a Sharwyn's corpse near entrance. Ressurect her to learn more about what happened here. Now its time to explore this dungeon. I will not describe this exploration deeply so I touch only important moments. There is a sealed entrance to level 2 dungeon. Watch for 4 levers near sealed bridge with magical pillars. You'll need some magical rods in order to activate this levers and desactivate the seal pillars. You can find this rods in the different places on level 1 dungeon, just search the chests, corpses and etc. Each magical rod has color and can disable the pillar with same color. There is also an alternative way to enter the level 2 dungeon (see level 1 north).
There is a dragon to the south-east. Kill the dragon and take treasures and good exp.
You can find Daelan's corpse to the north in the hall with mirrors. Ressurect
Daelan and speak with him. You can watch in the mirrors to take some treasures, one mirror will summon your twin so beware.
The Hall of Sleeping kings is to the north. One skeleton has intelligent longsword called Enseric. You can free Enseric from skeleton but prepare for some fight with undead kings. They are tougher but have useful things. After fight equip Enseric the longsword and choose the option talk to item in inventory. Enseric will tell you more about himself. One of the skeletons has the key so take it.
There are also some portals which teleport you to the other parts of dungeon.
Undermountain: Level 1 South
This dungeon is ruled by Fairy Sorceress. There is also a puzzle with 3 statues and summoned skeletons. You need to touch the statues until all three statues will face the locked door. You can see your success when the statue will produce elecric bolt to the door. You need three electric bolts from three statues in order to destroy the door. So don't fight skeletons and concentrate on turning statues and do it very quickly.
Find and fight fairy sorceress until she surrender. Talk to her to learn more about Halaster and dungeon then leave or kill her.
Watch for rods in this parts of dungeon. There are also some secret doors and explosive barrel with alchemist's explosive (can be used to unlock the blocked passage to level 2).
Undermountain: Level 1 North
There is a maze with traps. Try to disable the traps by activating the levers on the other side of maze.
To the south you can find the secret door which leads to Vanishing treasure.
Use your henchman to collect the treasure (command him to stand here while he stands on platform). There are a lot of secret doors here.
Find and fight the Ogre mage until he surrender. Talk to him. He will tell you about the sealed passage to level 2 dungeon. You'll need some kind of explosive in order to destroy the seal near door to the level 2 (alternative way to level 2 dungeon).
Search for other magical rods here.
Undermountain: Level 1 central
Now its time to enter level 2 dungeon. Operate the levers with magical rods in order to disable the pillars (you don't need to disable all pillars just create the passage through the bridge). If nothing happens while using level then try another rod with lever. Now enter the level 2.
***************************************************************
2. Undermountain: Level 2
Undermountain: Level 2 Central
Watch the cutscene. Open the door and kill the enemies. Search the corpse of fleeing goblin for key and yellow chain (1/4).
There is another puzzle with the locked door, altar and four chains. You should find all four chains: yellow chain, red chain, purple chain and green chain.
Undermountain: Level 2 North
There are a lot of goblins and traps here. Find and fight Argo Blacktooth here. Take the purple chain (2/4) from his corpse. Pull all levers.
Undermountain: Level 2 East
There are a lot of rakshass here. Fight them and talk to Shareesh in the portal room. He needs djinn's bottle. Use the True Seening spell and you will see that Shareesh and his people are rakshass in disguise. Kill them all and take the red chain (3/4) from Shareesh's corpse.
There is also a sarcophagus in the next room. Touch it and ressurect Linu.
Undermountain: Level 2 South
Find Tomi's corpse and ressurect him. Kill drow commander and take the green chain (4/4) from his corpse. There is also djinni bottle in the chest.

Undermountain: Level 2 Central (revisited)
Pool puzzle
Attach the chains (purple, red, yellow, green) to the columns with same color.
If all is right then the poll will shine. Now you need to activate six chains in proper order. Every unsuccessful attempt will summon some enemy. If there is a message that nothing happened than try to touch the pool to see color sequence and try again. I don't know if the combination is random but I was successful at red, green, red, red, yellow, purple.
The door will open and talk Berger. He is Halaster's creature and tell you more. It seems that Halaster was imprisoned by drows. Enter level 3.
