As Darkness mentioned, Yoshimo does die from the geas. Basically, if you take him to Spellhold, you find out that Irenicus put a geas on him to bring you to Spellhold. Since he didn't, he dies. Even if you had brought him, he would've died eventually...although you could net some serious XP by doing it that way. Most experienced players will bring him to Spellhold if they're planning on picking up Imoen, since they know he'll free up a spot...I can tell you this REALLY surprised me tho the first time I encountered it!

that's why Geas are really, really nasty. it's essentially an eternal lifeforce binding that forces the bindee to do whatever the binder asks, or die and have his/her soul placed in eternal torment. This can only be reversed by a Geas Reversal Scroll or by the will of Ilmater, but Ilmater rarely remove Geas except after death to free the bindee's soul from torment.
