ok i worked around the problem...
if you use your teleporter stones in that field, you get poofed away

but!!! if you clikc it twice, you seem to force the game to place you there... was able to do it this way <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

ahhh hours of running for nothing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

n/o to larian but geesh, most annoying part in a game, ever!
