[Bug] Losing Reputation while killing Mercenaries inside the flamming fist after your first capture

So far in BG, I have escaped my cell thanks to Neb the murderer (if I can say so) after being sent to prison by Angelo.

When I come back in the flaming fists, mercenaries (I guess under Angelo's command - not the regular ones) are trying to stop me.

If I defend myself, I will lose reputation - and therefore be a fallen Paladin.
The only way to access Duke Eltan's body (quest item) is to use potions of invisibility and therefore avoid triggering the dialogue with Benjy (ground floor, entrance).

Intended Behaviour : in the Original BG, you do not loose reputation by killing them, since they are Angelo's mercenaries.

Expected behaviour : Allow us to kill them without loosing reputation.

    This has been fixed in the latest patch. Your save file, however, may still be affected. I'm not sure.

    Therefore my save file is broken ... I do hope I won't be affected by the werewolf curse bug ;-)
    Is there a CLUA that we can use to bypass this ?

    I used a trick to bypass them and even after the patch my current game didn't allow me to kill them without reputation loss. Before the patch I charmed this first guy who approaches you with Algernon's Cloack. Then I moved to the room upstairs and killed "the healer", I was able to bring duke to the harbormaster and finish the quest. When I came back to the castle after patch, there was no writting in log about lossing rep, but the sound was played and the reputation was lost anyway. I think you have to start a new game to have this work, or never be there before (like I was and charmed the guard).

    It's good solution, hope it helps ya ;)

    Edit: Even after latest patch the killing causes reputation penalty. I strongly believe it is, because:
    1. I entered the keep earlier.
    2. I charmed the first guard and finished quest.

    I think you *HAVE* to start a new game in order to have this work

    Maybe note the exact creature whose killing causes the problem.
    I think, the fix was for Benjy.
    Benjy spawns in chapter 7, so any game older than that should work.

    I checked it one minute ago. I enter the keep, I kill Benjy and lose 6 reputation, then I kill other mercs, Dilos attacks me and after I kill him I lose another 2 points of reputation. I don't blame or rage, because I charmed Benjy before the patch, finished quest (don't really need to do anything more) and came back after the patch.

    Very strange. I just confirmed on my game that Benjy, Dilos and all other mercenaries that spawn during that fight do not result in a rep lose once killed.

    Someone with the live release should check Benjy's class. It is '2 - fighter' for me.
