Had exactly the same issue yesterday, almost opened a topic for it. Then I realised "outside" was still in an instance.
Oh btw, one thing I didn't get at all was this; why get yourself all over to that mountain temple and fight down when you could aswell enter the hut, kill the 3 bandits in there. and escape with the slave then? Wouldn't that be much easier? I really didn't get the reason to get yourself knocked out and taken up at all.
