According to some comments on net, if you are siding with Bodhi for chapter 3 onwards, you won't be able to meet Renal again to kill for his boots. Comparatively, if you side with shadow thieves, you can kill Renal in Chapter 6 for his boot of speed.

Since I side with Bodhi for evil playthrough, I started trying to kill Renal in Chapter 2. At that time, I had a thief specialised in pick pocket 255 (with mastery thief potion) still cannot pickpocket his boot of speed nor cloak of protection +1. Hence, killing Renal is the only resort to obtain the boot.

charm Renal, take him to near exit. Apply Feeblemind, kill and take the loots. Run the hell out of this place. Be reminded once Renal dead, all thieves within the building always turn aggroed. since then you cannot enter this hall. Otherwise if spotted, you will still be assassinated by the summoned Arkanis. So loots the whole building and clear out the Mae'Var quest before killing Renal.

If you seek complete destruction, load up your mage with feeblemind spells, and cast it on all thieves in guild hall then Slay everyone. As long as they are not aggroed, Arkanis will not be summoned. According to some discussion, Arkanis in BG2EE is impossible to be killed in normal gameplay with the MINHP1 amulet together with stat/level drain immunity ring. So you may save your time trying to kill him.
