I have finished Baldur's Gate II twice, but Baldur's Gate has got me stuck.
Within a few seconds of confronting Sarevok in the Duchal Palace, my main character (a level 7 Mage) is instantly killed - no warning. I can't figure out who is killing him. I have tried hardening him in various ways but no joy. The death blow appears to be an Agannazar's Scorcher.
None of my other characters die. I have tried to kill all the opplegangers before confronting Sarevok - it makes no difference. I have tried moving my mage to other rooms and even up stairs- again no difference.
Could you help me out here?

Are you getting any type of error message? What exactly does the combat text say? BTW, you must keep Belt or Liia alive, or the game will automatically kill you.
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...
What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

No error messages.
>>What exactly does the combat text say?
Usually, when my main character dies, the dialog box disappears, and the game cuts to the disappearing hand. Once, when I was able to pause the game, the text indicated the name of the enemy who had just delivered the fatel blow but I don't remember who it was. I never could locate this character.
>>BTW, you must keep Belt or Liia alive, or the game will automatically kill you.
My strategy is to kill Liia and keep Belt alive. Once both of them died and all I got was a mocking message from Sarevok, but I wasn't killed.

Do you have TotSC or any third-party game mods installed?

No
I finally figured out that I am being killed by Winski Perorate with a flame strike. Since Winski Perorate never shows himself, I can only conclude that he doesn't really exist - its only a device the game uses to kill me.
I must be doing something wrong, because now, many characters are quitting my party!
Should I install TotSC? If I do, can I complete the Baldurs Gate without doing any of the TotSC missions?
No

Winski Perorate shows up to auto-kill you when you have done something to break the plot. This happens when:
Yes, you can finish the game before moving on to the TotSC areas - when you defeat Sarevok, the game makes a Final Save and should transport you to Ulgoth's Beard. However, there is one caveat - the Final Save is made before you defeat Sarevok, so you can actually go and defeat him again.
- You injure Belt
- You injure Liia
- Both Belt and Liia are dead
- Evil party members leave when your rep gets too high
- Good party members leave when your rep falls too low

+++++++++++++
My strategy had been to kill Liia leaving Belt alive. I will try it without attacking Liia. At least I will when I get back next Friday.
Cheers!
