In Baldur's Gate 3, Pandirna is trapped in a locked shed in the Grove, unable to move because she's paralysed from the waist down after an adventuring misshap. You can save her because you're an altruistic soul, or because you want reward and bit of loot possible in Baldur's Gate 3 - and either way, the solution is the same. Here's what to do with Pandirna when you find her in Baldur's Gate 3.

You can find Pandirna in a locked cabin at the back of the grove, near where you find the imprisoned goblin. However, there's a guard nearby that will notice if you try and lockpick the door. The easiest way to get around that is to use Astarion's Fog Cloud spell to blind them, as you can then pick the door lock without alerting anyone. 

Inside, you'll find Pandirna sitting on the floor with the following dialogue options:

Choosing 'I'm just looking around' will make her shout for the guards, and obviously attacking her will have a similar result. To avoid causing trouble, use whatever character roll option gives you the best chance and she won't cause any trouble, explaining she's taken a potion for strength but it's stopped her legs working.

To cure Pandirna in Baldur's Gate 3, you can lift the paralysis with Shadowheart's Lesser Restoration spell, which is unlocked for Clerics, Bards and Druids at level 3, and for Paladins at level 5. 

Cast that and Pandirna will thank you, happy to turn a blind eye if you want to steal something. There's not much of value here anyway but if you really want to steal anything, use Astarion's Fog Cloud again to hide the chest Pandirna was sitting against and the Alchemist's Cabinet to the right of that. If you cover them both with fog you can open the chest to get the cabinet key and a few valuables, then use the key to get some poisons inside the cabinet. Alternatively, if you wait until you've finished the Grove quest and its area is now empty, you can just take everything with no one to stop you.
