Siege Camp
Now that Naylee has broken the charms on Yaga-Shura, you find out the Saradush has been breached and devastated, so you will have to deal with any troops that flee in your direction. Once you cross the bridge and actually get to strike at Yaga-Shura (hoards of troops will stand in your way first) he realises that he has indeed been made vulnerable again and will hide behind his army. Very careful strategy will determine whether you win this battle or not as the Elite Guards are, in themselves, worthy opponents. Try to use your Thief to backstab the archers bombarding you with arrows as much as possible, and it should be noted that the longer this battle goes on, the more reinforcements will arrive. (One tip is to switch this battle to autopause in the Options, as this will give you more time to think and plan in the midst of fighting). Eventually you will kill Yaga-Shura himself and his troops will flee. Upon which you will be transported back to the Pocket Plane.
Here you will find out much more about your history, which is taught to you by Solar. Specifically your Mother, Alianna, appears informing you that you were to be sacrificed on Bhaal's altar when you were born, along with Sarevok. Gorion and several colleagues saved you but could only save one child, so Sarevok was left behind. He fled and was raised by Foster Parents in the Iron Throne. You will be asked if there is a debt between you and Sarevok, and a new area in the Pocket Plane will be opened.
You reappear at the Siege Camp after this interlude, and Melissan greets you (having just escaped the City herself). She will tell you about Yaga-Shura's allies, and the fact that they are all BhaalSpawn too. You have encountered one of them, Ilasera, and now you must take on two others, Abazigal and Sendai, before they have a chance to consolidate their forces. Before this you will have to visit Balthazar, an ally of her own, who is the Chief of a Monasteric order in the Calim Desert. You are to meet in Amkethran, where you can base yourself while preparing for an assault on the BhaalSpawn enclaves. She marks all this on your map.
