You can access all the important parts (and people) of Ulgoth's Beard without being seen by Shandalar, provided you know where he is and avoid him. The quest he sends you on isn't that difficult, as long as you're tough enough; I suggest an average Level of 6 or so, and have a few Dispel Magics ready. There are Traps.

As for the Thieving business itself, just Roleplay it. If you're Lawful Good or Neutral, kill the Thieves on sight. If you're Neutral Good or anything Chaotic, send in a Stealthed Thief for a little burglary. If you're Evil, Backstab 'em all to hell--they're all Mages and worth some EXP, and one has a Necklace of Missiles (I think).

No matter which path you take, once the quest is completed, you will NOT get any magical weapons for it. Sorry. You get a nice chunk of EXP, though.
