Detailed Walkthrough

An unusually lopsided fight has been scheduled at The Abecette's fight pit, and The Arenthian has taken note. The extreme odds against a fighter named Willy the Unbitten winning offer an opportunity for profit. The Arenthian asks that you do two things - get Willy's opponent to show up elsewhere, and then recruit a lookalike stand-in to take that opponent's place. Once this is sorted, he asks that you place a bet on Willy's victory on the guild's behalf. The Arenthian will give you 1,000 gold to make the guild's bet with, and invites you to make a bet of your own. He then says to speak to Old Man Theft on the floor below.

Diverting Purcus

Old Man Theft has a plan - forge a letter to Willy's opponent, Purcus Mirtin, informing him of a last-minute change in the location of the fight. He just needs official stationery from the Abecette to do this - specifically, a copy of the Match Details. There are two such documents, and both are on the lower floor of the Fight Pit itself (in the rooms and corridors surrounding the actual arena). Steal one, and bring it to Old Man Theft. He'll give you a Change of Location Notice to pass on to Purcus. He's in the middle of the arena in the Fight Pit area.

If you've already recruited Coris, you'll now need to speak to him to get him to move to the fight pit.

Recruiting a doppelganger

Coris Mamulon is an individual who is the spitting image of Purcus Mirtin. Find him in the Bazaar of the Abecean and talk to him about fight pit.

You'll need 90+ disposition to persuade him to go along with the ruse - it is his body taking the hits after all.

If you've not diverted Purcus yet, you'll need to do so and return to Coris before he will actually move to the fight pit.

Place your bets!

With imposter in place and Purcus on his way to Thresvy, it's time to place a bet. Speak to Filhallil at the Fight Pit to place a bet. Remember to bet on Willy, not Purcus. You will have the option of betting 500, 1,000 or 1,500 gold. You need to bet at least 1,000 to get the 3,000 that The Arenthian is expecting. If you've the gold, go for 1,500.

Once your bet has been successfully placed, the fight will start. Willy should win, so once he has, speak to Filhallil to get your stake back, and your winnings. Then return to The Arenthian to give him the guild's cut.

Notes

• A perplexed Purcus appears in Thresvy for a short period between being redirected there and the completion of the quest.
• Coris is paid for his performance at the Fight Pit, so is not left empty handed.

10		The Arenthian wants me to rig the next match at the Abecette fight pit by replacing the favorite to win, Purcus Mirtin, with a doppelganger who will throw the fight. I was told that Old Man Theft had a plan to take care of the real Purcus. Aside from that, I will also need to recruit Coris Mamulon in the Bazaar of the Abecean to act as Purcus' body double. Finally, the Arenthian gave me 1000 drakes to bet on Willy the Unbitten, the underdog. He's expecting a return of 3000 drakes.
