This Cowled Wizard we kill for Edwin... why does he leave the door open? Isn't he worried that mephits will escape into the city? And what if there is a postman with a letter from distant relative? Does he deserve to be fried (or crushed) to death?
Maybe he pissed off Edwin just to test his defenses.
The lock that he uses on his door is just SO GOOD that even he can't get in. It locks/unlocks only from the outside.
Lol, what?
The cowled wizard Edwin asks you to kill. He can't lock/unlock it from inside and it blocks magic, so he has to leave his home unlocked when he his home.

Maybe his utter carelessness is why Edwin wants him dead?
Angelo Dosan is the only police officer in Baldur's Gate who believes in due process before the law. If you break into a private home and start rummaging through their belongings, the Flaming Fist will show up and attempt to kill you on the spot. If you (allegedly) murder the entire top management of the Iron Throne and the Flaming Fist manages to catch you, you are sent to prison pending an official trial.

I always loved the old bug (long since fixed) where there was a house in either Beregost or Baldur's Gate in which the only occupant was a cat. If you looted the place the cat would call for help and the Flaming Fist would show up and attack you. Apparently the Fist take the word of a cat as gospel. They must have gotten word from Ulthar!

Ya don't mess with the cats from Ulthar. And for darn sure don't kill one.
This post is dedicated to my Dad who passed away on Wednesday.
This is Oliver, the Chaotic Good Archer from my Dad's final unfinished Baldur's Gate run. We never actually got around to uploading this photo (from a portrait pack mod I found ages ago) and he actually used Kivan's portrait.
Dad finished Baldur's Gate, spent many frustrating days in Durlag's Tower and fighting Aec'Lectec, making it to Chapter 10 of Siege of Dragonspear before he left home in July.
I will always have fond memories of these times I spent watching, advising (and by advising I really mean telling him things and he would end up yelling at me, doing things his own way and winning anyhow) and cheering him on.
Although Dad never finished any of his Baldur's Gate runs, I always had fun watching him and this one was one of the greatest experiences and memories of my life.
Ulraunth Logic: Take the words of a complete stranger (Koveras) over a young man he's known all his life that Charname and his group murdered the Iron Throne leaders.
I mean, he could at least have asked the Priest of Oghma who walked into the room, calm as anything, while Rialtar & Co were lying bleeding on the carpet and Charname was still busy looting the premises.
Priest of Oghma logic: Hear battle noise, go into room, find group of trading house leaders lying dead with a band of adventurers cleaning their weapons, act as if nothing's out of the ordinary.
The important thing is that whether or not charname was the murderer, they still get blamed.
Either
#1: Charname really does murder the Iron Throne Leaders, a choice and scenario manipulated by Sarevok to happen at exactly the right moment.
OR
#2: Charname chooses to spare the Iron Throne Leaders in a show of respect for Candlekeep's traditions and they are ultimate framed because Sarevok had a backup plan.
Either way, you were never going to walk out of there without getting arrested. The only thing Sarevok forgot to account for?: Tethtoril
@Iroumen Well no, you are at candlekeep to find incriminating documents. Your first encounter was simply confirming that Rieltar is still there. From there you could follow his movements and find the right time to get said documents away from him. Sarevok just acted faster than you.

Ah okay, that makes since.
Edwin wants Rayic dead because Rayic was investigating him. It's textbook LE to "remove" the problem via third party means,
Well you got me there
ALL HAIL THE CAT! We will worship him with geographically inaccurate tombs which we shall litter all across the series.
Rangers, who use the magic of the natural world?
Must always be good.
D&D Druids: No edition is logical.
When I think of Bishop, all I can think about is the guy from the 2003 Turtles cartoon.

In this case, yes.
In some cases? No.

Regardless of action or inaction, charname is responsible for their death. Maybe ulraunt was fully right in that sense.
