No reload trilogy. Korgan, planar sphere.

After three deaths no reload in BG 1 with my typical good finesse party I have gone over powered and evil. Does anyone know if I can put Korgan's quest ( Find Valyger and planar sphere) on hold part way through without losing Korgan? The planar sphere is a bit burly for a no reload play this early in the game.
