The easiest way to get back to the southern portion of Ishad N'ha is to jump off a cliff. Or more precisely, to walk off the ledge towards Torin. Then you can run around to your heart's content, and when you're ready to go back, teleport back to that portal you created. In some cases, you may need to go back through Dragonspire if your portal fails, but that's rare.

And you're right -- Call of Home brings you to the last town you visited. And it does get annoying when you accidentally go to another town... [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img]

As for cursed items, I usually don't use them. They do drain your HP (which can be offset with an item of regeneration, like an amulet of life IIRC), but they do no permanent damage. Nothing is permanent.
