Happily, my good computer is working again, and I can now re-open BG1. UNhappily, I'm now playing a Paladin, who's being a good girl and obeying Gorion's instructions: Khalid and Jaheira. I would MUCH rather substitute in Kivan and Branwen (or possibly Yeslick), as they are better in all respects than the Friendly Arm couple. Sure, Kivan can't get 3 stars in a weapon--so what? His higher STR and DEX will grant him a better THAC0 than Khalid anyway. And let's see Khalid go Stealth. And Cleric spells are MUCH more useful than Druid spells. Who the hell needs Animal Summoning I when you can Animate Dead?

Each character's Most Powerful Vanquished after returning to Nashkel--
Sanctimonia (my Paladin): Neira or Mulahey, I forget which
Imoen: Nimbul
Khalid: Diseased Gibberling
Jaheira: Kobold
Minsc: none (we'd just picked him up on the way back)

Montaron and Xzar died in the Mines--of natural causes, I might add, if you can call it that. It's not my fault that they didn't have enough hitpoints to survive a Critical Hit from a Kobold.
