Detailed Walkthrough

Duties

Talk to Eranthos about duties, she'll tell you about a Guild Member, Duncan, who is supposed to help Bresiele with her chores, but he is nowhere to be found. Go talk to Bresiele about Duncan and she will tell you that he is about to fight in the arena, she'll ask you to go talk to him and make him reconsider as he is not really the fighter and probably is going to get himself killed.

Find Duncan

Go to the Arena, which can be found in Dragonstar East, and find Duncan just behind the stairs. Talk to Duncan, you can tell him you'll fight in his place and he'll agree. Go talk to Rekir and tell him you'll take Duncan's place, he'll also agree. You can also tell him to go ahead with his fight.

The fight

Now go to the back of the Arena and exit through a door to get to the arena pit, or if you chose to let Duncan fight for himself, go up the stairs and exit through the door to get to the spectators area. In the pit, Orguz gro-Bardok will be waiting for you, or Duncan, to have his fight. Get in there and defeat him. If you let Duncan fight for himself he will surely be killed, you can interfere from the spectator seats with ranged spells though or just jump in to join the fight (jumping in will bar you from further arena fights though). If you or Duncan won, talk to Duncan and he'll tell you to meet him back at the Guild of Mages. If Duncan died, also return to the Guild.

Back to the Guild

Go back to the Guild and tell Eranthos about what happened, if Duncan made it out alive she'll give you 55 Gold and 2 Scrolls of Inas' Furious Flash, if Duncan died she'll give you nothing and asks for some time alone.
