Yoshimo is... wait... are you sure you wanna know?

last chance...

OK... but this was one of the biggest WTF?!? moments for me in the game that I discovered for myself...

Yoshimo is a traitor. He has been working for Jon Irenicus from the start. He is under a Geas spell to betray you. You get to witness this betrayal for yourself if you take him with you to Brynnlaw & the Asylum (which, incidently, means you won't have to drop a party member to pick up Imoen). If you don't take him, he has failed to betray you (by losing your trust / not convincing you to take him along / whatever) into the hands of Irenicus (other than his "I couldn't help myself" dialogue, the general plot unfolds exactly the same).

Thus, the Geas kills him. In role-playing terms, he should die when you meet Irenicus in Spellhold. In game terms, it happens next time you see him after visiting Spellhold (which is typically next time you go to the Copper Coronet after exiting the Underdark). For an experience bonus, you can return his heart (an item you get after you are forced to kill him) to a Temple of Ilmater for a *major* XP award. You have been spoiled... [img]smile.gif[/img]
