I have left Sardush but cannot leave the North Forest to go anywhere but "The Seige Camp" or "Watchers Keep".

I have installed the balderdash ToB fixpack and do not have any mods installed. Since I can't get to the Temple and the other area which I've forgoteen the name of, did I miss a step required to go to those areas (they both appear on my map) or am I experiencing a bug?

Try using your pocket plane ability and transport outside of Saradush. This road leads to Yaga-Shura's home, a longer walk but at least you get out of the forest.

you gota exit that area from the right side of the map to access the temple n stuff, the left side grants access to the siege (annoying i know!)

Thanks for the tip. Sometimes the answer is simple. Annoying answer for sure, but simple. Every other time you can exit anywhere without problems. What I find funny is that you can go to Yaga's camp from the right side but can't go to the temple or mountain from the left.

IIRC, you can access the temple or mountain from the left, but only after you've been there previously. Remember, your party doesn't know the way, nor they could pass because of YS's soldiers.
