Plot Spoilerish

I am up to disk four. I have TotSC installed. I don't know how to acess Baldur's gate. I don't know how to get into the cloak wood forest. I thought (finished game a while back), there was like a bandit camp In North East, how do I go there?
I have absically cleared all other open maps, at least all south of friendly arm. Also gard says I need tomb of great value to enter Candle Keep. Do I get this at baldur's Gate?

(Unecessary Note: My charactor is a 5 mage 5 fighter.
I have kalid, Jeheira, Kiva, Xan, and Branwin. I want to eventually trade Kivan for Imowen. Well any help would be great, thanks

To get to Cloakwood you first have to destroy the bandit camp. You were given a clue in a note you found in the Nashkel mines of a contact that was in Beregost. Go to the second floor of the Feldpost Inn and talk to the mage. This should point you to the two forested areas NE of Beregost - E of the Friendly Arms. There you will meet up with Black Talon mercenaries. Most will attack you but at least the captain of one group should approach you. Talk to him. You can bluff him into thinking you want to join them or if you fail, just kill him. Kill everything in the forests (you should meet up with Viconia in one of them) and keep heading north. Now you should see the bandit camp area marked on your map. Whether you faked your way into the camp or fought your way there doesn't really matter. Kill the entire lot of them (take all the loot) and kill the guys in charge. Talk to the theif prisoner. Read the notes in the trapped chest in the hut. Get the cut scene and now you should be able to access Cloakwood. Once you've made it through all 5 areas of Cloakwood and kill the bad guy in the last area then Baldur's Gate will be accessible to you.

And yes, you will be give a tome in BG so you can enter Candlekeep at the right time.

Thanks, I forgot about the contact in Beregost.
