[Midget Gems]

I can't imagine that many of you have had Eldoth & Shar-Teel in the same party, but if you have you'll know that it can be fun. Some time ago I used them together and they used a lot of insults but not much more. I guess my PC had high charisma which kept them under control.
However, today I had them in my party again and this time I have low charisma, so they killed each other. I never actually meant to keep them together, I was just exchanging Shar-teel for Eldoth. I only had them together for a few moments while I transfered the equipment from one to the other, yet in that time they came to blows. It was a very strange fight since Shar-teel had poor armour and a dagger, while Eldoth had better equipment but was using a bow in melee combat. After a prolonged struggle they both scored critical hits - Eldoth died first, followed shortly by Shar-teel from the effects of poison. So all at once my party of three was turned to a solo game. From a role-playing point of view this was great, but I already had plans so it was re-load time (again) I'm sorry to say.

So I thought I would share this episode with you because it's the NPCs that make BG1 unique and ask if any of you have had one of these interesting encounters that left you saying "thats never happened before".
