Here are the relevant pointers, taken from Chapter 13 of Volothamp's Comeuppance: - There are 2 Mages in Ulgoth's Beard who each want to send you to an island. I would advise against traveling to Shandalar's island until your party is at least Level 6-ish, or Mendas's island until you're about Level 7-ish. Both of the islands share the following characteristics: There are no shops, inns, or temples on either of them, and once you go there, you cannot return to the rest of the world until you've fully beaten the whole quest. This means two things: 1) If any party members die on the island, you'll have to beat the quest without them, and 2) If there's anything you'll need, you're going to have to carry it with you. May I suggest a buttload of Healing Potions?
- On the island Mendas sends you to, there are a bunch of little quests given by the townsfolk, but the main quest is given by Kaishas. When you return, wrap up the sub-quests first, as the villagers will forget about them when you report back to Kaishas.
- Technically, you actually can return to the islands once you've beaten them, simply by Traveling there on your map (Travel Time: 0 Hours, in fact). It's just that once you're there for the second time, you're stuck for good. Better Reload your Auto-Save. The fact that you can even return there at all is certainly an oversight.
