if you take Yoshimo to Brynlaw this instigates Irenicus to tell you of his treachery within the plot and you will then have to fight and kill Yoshimo within Spellhold, therefore he will not be where you left him before entering.
if you leave Yoshimo behind when you sail to Brynlaw then Irenicus WILL NOT mention Yoshimo or his treachery within the text and you will not have to fight and kill him. Yoshimo will still be at the C.Coronet when you return but will die upon you entering the building. Put on boots of speed run in and invite him to join you, he will join and then die. Because he is now in your party you can then resurrect him and carry on as if he never died. You will miss out on some XP for his heart etc. The Yoshimo thing is just a subplot, if you never had Yoshimo in your party in the first place you would never know about his treachery, nor taking his heart to the temple. This is maybe why there is such a shortage of decent thieves in the game, to try to cajole you into using Yoshimo. imho he's the best thief in the game and if you wish to forego his small subplot and the xxxxxxx XP for his heart (which I guess you could Shadow in if you wanted) then you will have a fantastic thief later on.
