Any nice, isolated merchant to steal from Act III?

[Lampros]

The only one I've found so far is the Dragonborn apprentice merchant (I cannot spell his name) in Rivington General.

Use cloud of fog spell and any merchant will become isolated for pickpocketing

If you played your cards right in the earlier acts, you'll have 4 VERY USEFUL merchants available at max approval: Dammon, Rolan, Deryth, and Araj. This will cover your arrow supplies, scrolls, and alchemicals all in one go (Deryth and Araj have differing item draws and can lead to quite a bit of goodies to make potions and elixirs with).

You'll also be able to reap the rewards you sowed in Act II by defeating Roah Moonglow in the Guild.

You could try thieving from Ferg Drogher right when you get to Rivington (just don't use Darkness just yet, for some reason it CTD's the game if you drop concentration on it). Have one caster cast Guidance, another cast Enhance Ability - DEX (or wear Graceful Cloth or Thievery Gloves), and a third cast Fog Cloud, then let your gigabuffed thief do the work.

Same thing with Popper (although I just max his approval early with some of the rewards from Lann Tarv).

Other than that, it's the occasional general merchant, and most of them lack anything of particular note.

The reason I mentioned getting merchants to max approval is that with a +9 Persuasion, you can get a -119% discount, which is enough to almost minimize the costs of buying items. +13 shoots it to -150% (and frankly I think that's overcapped), and from there you literally cannot lose money bartering with a trader.

In rivington the merchant attached to the blacksmith, down the street from the circus.
The herb vendor just before the drawbridge, top floor above Danthelon.

In the city proper of baldurs gate there are like 7+ vendors that are easy pickings. I'd say half can be put to sleep with a spell slot 1 sleep. Just shut their door and they are alone. Don't forget to hover over signs attached to buildings to find them.

I am clumsy, and the more steps, the more I am liable to screw something up though! ;)

Yeah, that's the Rivington one is the one I already mentioned. I also found another one in the Act 3 - the potion merchant above the Harper hideout.

I am not in the city yet, but I am looking forward to it! ;)

P.S. So Sleep works? I've been using Hold Monster.

Sleep 100% works, but if the vendor becomes an ally you won't be able to use it.
There are a handful of merchants with between 10 hp and like 44 hp so go into turn based mode/sleep/pickpocket. There are also the gnomes beneath rivington, but thieving from them is a challenge.

i stole unlimited potions for healing from the devils fee and save scumming, long rest between to restock. press g to separate the thief use shift plus clicking and holding down to move and force moving while pressing g on your run out to snap the party back together. run down the street and long rest and repeat. save before each attempt. if you linger to long you get caught. pressing o for top down view aided on the run out while holding to move.
