Careful asking questions you might not want answers to about yoshimo. Personally, I couldn't stand Aerie. I would drop her and then kill her, resurrect her, then kill her again. Keldorn is great, with a sword that will go nameless. I wouldn't have gotten rid of Jaheira, she gets pretty cool later on. You don't want to pay the 20K yet. Get some more quests done first so you have the exp before the story advances to the next chapter.
