Skie Silvershield

Skie Silvershield is a true neutral human thief and a potential companion in Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast, and Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition and an important NPC in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear.
== Background ==
Skie is the daughter of Brilla and Entar Silvershield, her father being one of the grand dukes in the city of Baldur's Gate.
== Baldur's Gate & Tales of the Sword Coast ==
Skie seems to be the only heiress of her family during the Baldur's Gate event as her brother has already been killed by bandits.
=== Recruitme​​nt ===
Skie is available from and can be found in Entar Silvershield's Estate, on the second floor. She pairs with Eldoth, and so will only join the party if he is with them. If Eldoth is not in the party when they talk to Skie, she will think the worst of the party and flee, never to return.
* In Skie's scripts contain "random walk" behavior which causes her to wander around her initial coordinates. This is removed in .
* Eldoth is scripted to initiate dialogue when he sees Skie, but in his script does not check whether he is in the party or not. This means if he is kicked out of the party and stays in that area, he will still initiate dialogue with Skie when he sees her. The party can then have her join the party without Eldoth. In , Eldoth's script will properly make sure that he is in the party first.
* : When the party first talk to Skie, her dialogue only checks whether Eldoth is in the party or not, and does not check if he is actually present in the room. If Eldoth is not in that area, talking to Skie will cause Biff the Understudy to appear and answer her in place of Eldoth. After this, Eldoth will still initiate dialog with Skie next time he sees her, as if she had not joined the party yet. This will bring up an incorrect dialogue line meant for a later event. In , Skie's initial dialogue will make an additional check for whether Eldoth is within Skie's line of sight or not.
=== Gameplay ===
Being one of the four pure thieves in game, Skie neither can be recruited early like Imoen or Safana, nor has some special abilities like Alora has her Rabbit's Foot, which grants her a very powerful Luck +2 passive effect. The major advantage of keeping her seems to be the "free loot" of Entar Silvershield's Estate, the richest man's house in Baldur's Gate, plus blackmailing Elkart in Blade and Stars, which nets you 1000 Gold each day up to 8000 total, when a Flaming Fist guard will appear.
Normally she pairs with with Eldoth, and if one of them is dismissed from the party, the other will also leave. However if your reputation gets very low (1), then Skie will leave because she does not want to be part of an evil party, while Eldoth will remain, thus separating the pair.

To insult2
== Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear ==
In a short time after the Iron Throne crisis and the battle against Sarevok, eventually Skie found out that Eldoth eloped with another harlot and dumped her. Feeling betrayed, Skie quit associating with him and moved on to a life without depending on him.
Still looking for excitements and adventure, Skie hides her identity to join the Flaming Fist without telling her family and is enlisted in the marching troops towards the Dragonspear Castle against Caelar Argent's crusade. Her father, Entar Silvershield, secretly appoints a Flaming Fist officer Bence Duncan to protect her but they are found frequently quarreling with each other along the road, though there is a tavern rumor that the two are sharing bedrolls.
=== Dialogues ===
	I'm Skie. Skie Silvershield, Duke Entar's daughter. You remember me, right?
	How could you forget me? Never mind me—how could you forget Eldoth? We did great things together! He and I made love under the moonlight and extorted gold from Daddy, and then Eldoth left me for some harlot.
	Oh, ha ha. Have you been licking a whetstone? Your tongue's sharper than ever.
	I was just a child then. Now, I'm a woman. I've even joined—well, never mind. I'll tell you that later, when I'm sure we're alone.
	Are you awake?
	Don't you want to hear what I have to say?
	No, no, it's REALLY important...
	I've joined the Flaming Fist!
	No, really, I have. Not under my name, of course—Daddy would never allow it. But I'm in it now.
	Life as a noble is boring and stupid. I want to do something GREAT with my life and also get out of this dirty old city and maybe meet some handsome soldiers. So I'm going north with you!
	I know! All right, go back to sleep. I'll see you in—oh, I guess you don't really have time to sleep now. I'll see you soon.
	Remember, whatever you do—don't tell Daddy about this!
