In regards to #2.

I seriously doubt a Lawful Neutral character would interfere. Despite a pre-exsiting knowledge of Viconia, Lawful Neutral characters believe that law creates balance. In their eyes, Viconia's execution would be a form of balance.

A Lawful Good character I'm not so sure about. I'm going to cite Fenthick as an example here (if you haven't played NWN, then you won't know what I'm talking about), but he believed he was good friends with a CE man, and when this CE guy tricked him, Fenthick went after him to try and 'redeem' the CE guy.

That may also apply here.

In addition, Clerics of one deity don't police those of another deity. Unless the priest reading the charges HAPPENS to be a priest of Shar (which I highly doubt), then I can't see how a PC would think it was a real execution. The presence of the guards (whom I may add, don't interfere if you stop the execution) are only there to prevent the mob from going nuts. If this execution was to make any sense, you'd think that the police lady (can't remember her name at the moment) would be there as well.

Also, the method of execution doesn't make any sense either. Why would a civilized city like Amn, start burning people in the streets? Especially so close to a number of flammable buildings, burn the whole city down for a silly execution? Honestly now, if it was a *real* execution, wouldn't Viconia be hanged or beheaded?

Anyways, because the PC knows Viconia from previous adventures (regardless of what you REALLY did in BG1), and if you have Jaheira or Minsc in your party a LG character might be swayed to stop it. Minsc, who knows the basic difference between good and bad, speaks out against it. If Minsc the simpleton things there's something wrong, there probably is.

Jaheira, who is a druid, and has been to Amn before, also speaks out against it. This is probably from her personal experiences with Amn's legal system. If she thinks there's something wrong with how this is being done, there probably is.

In regards to #3.

A LE PC wouldn't pay the fee, and simply kill the wizards if they decided to show up.

A LN PC would pay the fee, regardless of their needs to save gold.

A LG PC may or may not pay the fee. If they can avoid casting mage spells within the city, I doubt they would pay it. If they must cast mage spells within the city (party of mages for example) then they would come up with the necesarry cash.

#4:

I don't see why an evil character wouldn't allow them to join their party. Evil characters don't follow strict 'evil' standards, they just pretty much do what they want, when they want, how they want.

However, I doubt an evil character would like Keldorn very much, and would probably ditch him, or just avoid him completely.

As for Anomen, an evil (female maybe) character would probably let him join, make him fail his test, and maybe keep him around as a bed toy.

As for Aerie, an evil character might be tempted because she's good looking, but if she prooves too much of a burden, or annoyance, they'd probably ditch her.
