Well, I couldn't resist and gave Edie, the Merchant League Applicant, one of my potions but she was rather greedy and in desperate need of some intelligence for that test, so she took all five. (TakePartyItemNum anyone?)
And I found here greeting soundset rather odd, maybe womco01.wav suits better.
On a sidenote: I nearly missed Aldeth on the first cloakwood map, due to his blur effect. It's been a while since I played BG1 and I didn't recall meeting him in front of the house. It was at night and I missed him first but then when I decided to get Coran and open that container in the house I finally recognized him. (Maybe it was intended by Bioware not to have that ring equipped, so someone with a bad eyesight like me can actually spot him at night.
).
