On every other playthrough, I've talked Kagha off the ledge, but there's a fresh Dark Urge option here: flick your eyes toward the cave entrance, and urge the girl to run. It's over in a flash.

It turns out you can get Baldur's Gate 3's best assassin armor without killing a baby angel elephant and joining a cult, all you have to do is pickpocket a ghost

Baldur's Gate 3's Bhaalist Armor is hands down one of the best in the game, effectively doubling your damage if you're a classic dual daggers assassin sicko⁠—think the Shrouded Armor from Skyrim or Oblivion for something to compare it to.
