Shar-Teel Dosan

Shar-Teel Dosan is a Chaotic Evil human fighter and a potential companion, who is found in the north-west corner (from 830, 450 to 270, 300) of the Mutamin's Garden area east of the Temple area. She is the daughter of Angelo Dosan.

Prerequisite Duel
"Hold travelers, I challenge your best warrior to a duel. I don't fight women, so only men should step forward."

In order to get Shar-Teel to join the party, a male party member must best her in a duel. She will then join, but clearly considers this to be her "punishment" for failure. If dismissed from the party, however, she may begrudgingly admit to feeling not entirely hostile, or... she may not:

"Damn it, you lose one well-fought duel to an oafish lout of a man and you get attached. I almost hate to say it but you've earned my respect."

"Ah, I'm finally released from this infernal duty! I swear by every god in a million pantheons that I will NEVER lose a duel to another overly masculine thug in my life."

Warning: if she is beaten while under the effect of certain crowd control effects (such as, for example, the stunning effect of The Stupefier), the battle will never end. The combat music will fade away and when the effect wears off, Shar-Teel will commence pounding away at you forever.

If your party is already above the Reputation threshold for evil party members (19+), she will still join the party, but will leave as soon as you win an xp reward, even if it is still mid-battle:

"Forget our deal, I'm leaving."

If you lose the duel, she will give you a second chance, but no more.

If approached by an all-female party, she asks you to return later when you have a male party member:

"A party of women, is it? Well met. Hey, if you ever happen to have a man tagging along with you, bring him down this way. I'd love to rub his nose in it, a little."

Initial Contact
''Hold travelers, I challenge your best warrior to a duel. I don't fight women, so only men should step forward.''
 * 1:-We don't have the time to waste on such stupidity.


 *  When I first saw you, I took you for cowards. I guess I was right. Good riddance. 
 * (she leaves the game)


 * 2:-Sure, what are the rules and reward for winning?
 * I win, and you give me 20 gold. In the unlikely event that one of you bests me, I'll pledge my sword to your cause.


 * 2.1:-Not interested.


 * When I first saw you, I took you for cowards. I guess I was right. Good riddance. 
 * (she leaves the game)


 * 2.2:-Sounds good to us.


 * Will your champion step forward? I only fight men, so your women will have to be satisfied with just watching. Don't entertain any thoughts about cheating. If any of the rest of you try to interfere in this fight, I'll kill them outright.
 * -or- (if the party is all male)
 * Will your champion step forward? Don't entertain any thoughts about cheating. If any of the rest of you try to interfere in this fight, I'll kill them outright.

Despite her asking for a champion to step forward, she will immediately engage in combat if an opponent that she feels is worthy of her challenge is at hand.

If You Win
''I can't believe this. I'm beaten, by a man no less. I guess I must keep my word. I pledge my sword to your cause, however stupid it may be.''


 * 1:-Actually, we don't need your assistance.


 * If you're too stupid to see my worth, then that's your problem.


 * 2:-Good, you had better prove your worth.


 * Of course I'll prove my worth! It won't be too hard in this group.

If You Lose
''Well, that was pathetic, but then, men are the weaker sex. Thanks for the easy cash.''

And, if you re-initiate dialog:

''Do you want another try? If you've such a desire to have the snot beaten out of you, then I'll be happy to oblige.''


 * 1:-We know when we're beaten.


 * 2:-Sure, this time we won't be so easy on you.


 * (she repeats her "Will your champion step forward? ..." response)

If You Lose Again
''Well, that was pathetic, but then, men are the weaker sex. Thanks for the easy cash.''

And, if you re-initiate dialog:

''You're the most sickly group of adventurers I've ever laid eyes on. Get out of my sight before I throw up.''

In-Game Biography
"When asked about her past, SHAR-TEEL has very little to say. From the little she speaks of it, it can be gleaned that she is an orphan. She also seems to harbor an intense dislike for Flaming Fist mercenaries, as well as an obvious disrespect for men in general. She seems to have something to prove, and likely her childhood was not of storybook quality."

- Apparently she has some sort of deal with Angelo because when you first encounter him with Shar-Teel in the party, she will talk with him and Angelo will eventually apologize and he releases the party from custody.

Quotes

 * "Men are pathetic."
 * "Really?"
 * "If it bleeds, I can kill it." This could be a reference to the movie "Predator" with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
 * "I love bloodshed."
 * "I'll do it."
 * "This is the kind of stupidity we get with male leadership." (when reputation is above 12)
 * "I can't take much more of this male imbecility."
 * "This is such a waste of time, or should I say that men are such a waste of time."
