I want to take Yoshimo with me to Spellhold even though to this point I dumped him after escaping Irenicus' underground prison in the very beggining. I haven't initiated anything with the shadow theives even though they are the group I will chose. Here's the question, do I need to take Yoshimo through all of the Shadow Theif stuff for his part to play out correctly or can I just grab him right before I get on the boat?

You don't need Yoshimo, or any other character, for any of the mandatory and most side quests in the game.

I understand that I don't have to take him with me anywhere. But I have been using an open party spot to do alot of the NPC specific quests even though I'm not interested in keeping the NPC's. My question was in reference to a certain incident involving Yoshimo that can lead to a very large experiance pay off down the road. I wanted to play this part of the game but I was trying to avoid dragging Yoshimo around while doing the various quests that the Shadow Theives make you perform before they ship you out. Ideally I would just like to add him to the party right before sailing.

That event will trigger as long as you have him in your party before the dialog that leads up to everything takes place.

Thanks Chrenshinibon, that will work nicely for me.

Thanks again, all went well, added Yoshimo right before sailing and it didn;t end up costing the others in the group much XP at all especially considering the XP payout I'll get later on.
