  • Learned About Arena
    We have learned that there's a fighting arena tucked away somewhere in Driftwood. We ought to investigate this further.
  • Arena Found
    We have found a fighting arena beneath the Black Bull tavern in Driftwood.
  • Arena Master Talk To Murga
    We spoke to the arena master - a dwarf known as the Arran, the Raucous One. He told us that we should challenge the arena's current champion, a fighter named Murga.
  • Enemies Debuffed
    We have convinced Effie, the proprietor of Effie's Emporium, to drug the other arena fighters. It should now be easier for us to defeat them.
  • Learned About Arena Blaithin
    A dwarf named Blaithin hinted that the area beneath the Black Bull tavern is worth exploring. She told us to mention her name to the guard at the stairwell for easier access.
  • Murga Challenged Me
    Murga told us that she will only accept our arena challenge if we first prove ourselves by winning a fight blindfolded.
  • Arena Blindfold Started
    We have commenced a blindfolded arena fight.
  • Arena Blindfold Removed
    One of us removed our blindfold, and lost Murga's challenge. It seems that none of us will never the Champion on Driftwood... unless Murga happened to disappear, perhaps?
  • Arena Blindfold Won
    We won the blindfolded arena fight. We should be able to challenge Murga now.
  • Arena Trial Lost
    We lost the Arena trial. It seems that none of us will ever be the Champion on Driftwood... unless Murga vanished mysteriously, perhaps...
  • Arena Trial Won
    We fought in a trial at the Arena, and won.
  • Murga Will Not Fight
    Murga has refused to fight us. Maybe we could persuade Arran to let us prove ourselves in some other way.
  • Round Two Won Voidwoken Alone
    Although Murga died, we still defeated the Voidwoken and proved ourselves.
  • Round Two Won Murga Voidwoken
    We defeated Murga - the Champion of the Arena - and a Voidwoken that joined the fight.
  • Arena Champion
    One of us is now the Arena Champion of Driftwood.
  • Champion Key
    Arran granted the new champion a key that will unlock some treasure. He remarked that there will be dangers near it however, adding that it truly takes a champion to claim the prize.
  • Arena Champion Lost
    We failed in our attempts to become the Arena Champion of Driftwood.
  • Arena Champion Lost Had Title
    One of us lost our title, and is no longer the Arena Champion of Driftwood.
  • Murga The Incident
    A Voidwoken appeared while Murga fought with Magisters, and killed them.
  • Murga Her Tactics
    The Voidwoken told us that Murga is a coward - she uses invisibility to win her battles.
  • Murga Need To Impress
    We need to impress in the arena before we can get a chance at the championship.
  • Murga Persuaded
    We convinced Murga - the Champion of the Driftwood Arena - to fight against us.
  • Murga Dead
    Murga, the Champion of the Arena, died outside of the Arena. Maybe one of us can still become the Champion somehow?
  • Close Left R C
    We have left Reaper's Coast without any of us being able to claim the title of Champion of Driftwood.
