Dorstag

Dorstag is the undisputed champion in the Pits of Carnage.

Dorstag was the best warrior of the world, feeling himself invincible. However, when he ran afoul of a duke, said noble took him prisoner with ten men while he had been asleep. Dorstag however didn't drown in despair and used his skills to fast become the top dog in the Pits. Nonetheless he became uncareful when going with some of his men deeper into the pits. A confrontation with the Troll Blog cost him all the men in the group and Blog gave him a reminder in form of a nasty scar. Since then, Dorstag feared Blog.

A little prior to Ultima Underworld II, Dorstag took the Blackrock Gem that appeared, after killing the man who had first found it, using it as a lucky charm. When the Avatar later demanded to have it, even saying that he/she wanted to duel him, Dorstag threatened the Avatar with his guards, then told him/her to get lost.

Now there were two different ways what happend next:

Variant A

After talking to Krilner and Zogith, it became clear to the Avatar that Dorstag needed to be impressed, so he/she killed the second strongest fighter in the Pits, the sorceress Zaria. Now Dorstag was willing to duel, but tried to get the Avatar to spell the challenge, so that he could chose the Arena of Fire (huge advantage for Dorstag). However, the Avatar was more clever and mentioned that Dorstag was too chicken since he feared that he/she could give him a matching scar on the other side, after having stayed silent about the scar before.

Enraged, Dorstag challenged the Avatar, confident that he would win anyway. However, that was not the case, and he died in the following duel.

Variant B

Leaving Dorstang for the time being, the Avatar explored the deeper levels of the Pits, until he/she found the "House of Games" of the Troll Blog in the deepest level. Blog turned out to be quite a peaceful fellow and wanted the Avatar to play a game of black and white stones with him. The Avatar however had something even better for Blog: a grey stone for many new forms of games. Blog declared the Avatar his friend and he/she in turn asked Blog for help to get the gem.

Returning to Dorstag, the Avatar again demanded the gem. Suddenly Blog appeared and then Dorstag was all too eager to give it to the Avatar.
