Sarevok has several motives for killing Rialtar and Co - he gains control over the Iron Throne, he incriminates the protagonist, and he settles an old score with his "father" whom he actually hates. If you read his diary later, Rialtar killed his wife whom Sarevok loved as a mother.
Of course, if he can get Charname to do the dirty work for him, so much the better...
But charname is completely oblivious if charname thinks the documents are just up for grabs. Something will happen for sure. It is just like going to the top of the iron Throne building itself. You know a fight breaks out there. Charname cannot assume that Candlekeep will be different in any way.
The thing is, with how many thieves are in BG, there is NO reason for a fight to break out to get the documents. You are also there on official business with the FF, so you petition a warrant in an official capacity to search Rieltar and co. Sarevok also intends for them to die at Candlekeep, even if charname never showed up, Rieltar was still doomed. Charname has no responsibility over his death.
Imoen spends the entirety of Siege of Dragonspear either slowly recovering from the attempt on her life or struggling with magic, yet by the beginning of Shadows of Amn she is magically (no pun intended) an 8th level mage.

I thought that made sense in that she would have picked up a lot of magic lessons (etc) from being around Irenicus.

Character levels in the BG games make zero sense if you start to look at them. Highly experienced NPCs and other characters at level 1 when you meet them popping up to level 5 to be equal to you? Enemies that have spend a life time acquiring EXP are at the same level or lower than a fledgling just barely beginning their adventuring career (charname/Nalia) ? Etc etc..
BG doesn't hold well to that kind of scrutiny, with Imoen being one of the most obvious ones, but Nalia is not far behind.
If I was a DM and a player got trapped in a cage for several decades and lost two limbs, I'd give them a lot more XP than Aerie has.
Nooiice. My character is a tragically disadvantaged Illusionist/Thief Mind Flayer who lost every one of their tentacles, arms and legs in a tragic boating accident after being stuck in a cage for two hundred and ninety years. That's gotta be worth a few HLAs, right?
Also her friend the druid memorised reincarnation this morning for no reason.
BG1: Minsc's racial enemy is the Gnoll. This makes sense because Dynaheir was recently kidnapped by Gnolls. BG2: Minsc's racial enemy is now the Vampire...why?
Because.... Dynaheir was slain by the vampires in Irenicus' employ whose behaviour and vulnerabilities he has had opportunity to observe from his cage at length? [/guess]
Huh. It would seem to be standard 2nd edition Monstrous Manual info after looking at them, no lvl drain. The vampiric wolves are only similar to humanoid vampires, as they are just a corruption of normal wolf pups by an evil cleric. http://www.lomion.de/cmm/wolfvamp.php
A group of heavily armed and armored adventurers enters your home and proceed to summon creatures, cast spells that are obviously a preparation for battle, while their thief plants several traps at your feet.
Dragon logic: Ho-hum, wonder what's on TV tonight...
(Saladrex makes an exception to this rule. He will actually go hostile if you plant traps or summon creatures.)
@ThacoBell Hardest Dragon Battles for me 1. Draconis 2. Two Silvers in Luna 3. Abazigal 4. Firkagg 5. The Dragon in Suldanessellar (because screw spelling that name)

Ah yes, the mom death, classic villain building material.

Zaram? Oblivous?
You mean my wisdom 7 Chaotic Neutral selfish arrogant pyromancer made of 10% insanity, 50% poor judgement and 40% ego?
Pff, never.

Multiple military campaigns? Level 7 Fighter -> 8 Cleric.
Sat in a cage for a few decades? -> Level 7/7 Cleric/Mage.

Sounds plausible
Vampiric Wolves don't level drain.
Now from a gameplay standpoint this makes sense. When you have less than 8 levels, level drain is going to pretty much kill you right away.
From a logical standpoint however it does not (Unless I'm wrong, which to be honest I probably am)

Thanks, I appreciate the lesson. Evil Clerics have a lot more influence than I realized.
Quick Poll everyone:
Evil Clerics or Necromancers?
Dude did you just rhyme?
You made my Christmas and that's not an easy task.
I'm working on a Necromancer character myself, but he needs a little more fine tuning.

Saladrex is best dragon confirmed, he's a much easier battle than Firkragg though.
