Beraht's Shop
After you exit the Tavern turn right and head along the street to Beraht's shop, where you are treated to a brief CS in
which some political intrigue is discussed, and then Beraht demands that you report on your mission.
You have a choice here - you can turn over all of the lyrium you took off of Oskias and report his death, or you can
try to keep some of it. It is your call, but in the interest of speeding things along I just gave him all of it and told him
that Oskias is dead. His response was to tell us about the Proving and the Grey Wardens - and Beraht outlines his
plans to take bets - and make bets - on the fights.
Basically he wants you to help Everd, the fighter he has bet on, to win the Proving. You need to find Everd, learn
who he is to fight against, and then use the drugs that Beraht gave you to modify the odds in his favor. Sounds
simple enough, right?
Make sure that you ask where the proving is so you get the pass from Beraht, then head north to the Proving grounds,
and go to the Fighter's Quarters, under the stands.
The Proving Grounds
At the entrance there is a Proving Ground Guard you need to speak to and show your pass in order to enter - and
once you manage that, you are on your own... Just kidding!
As you are moving through the chamber Leske notices Duncan, the Grey Warden, and dares you to go over and say
hello - so of course you do! Unlike the locals, Duncan is a lot friendlier, and seems almost happy to be chatting
with us. Since he is here, and we are here, we may as well pump him for some information, right? That brief
conversation nets us a chunk of new Codex entries, and lays the groundwork for what is to come, but I am sure you
figured that out already :)
Before you move on head back to the first pillar in the middle - there is a Dwarven carving there that you can
examine for a Codex entry. Do that, and then head for the open passage - just follow the white arrow - where you
find Everd. Oh man, this guy is blitzed! He will not be fighting anything by the porcelain throne!
Leske was going to suggest that you go up into the stands and start a rock slide to cover up this mess, but he likes
your idea better - you put on Everd's armor and fight in his place. You vow to win by skill alone, refusing to use the
drug, and then open the armor chest and climb into the armor (equip it) and head for the fight!
Your first fight is with Officer Mainar. That fight was pretty easy, but you are not done yet - now you get to fight
Adalbo - and again the fight went a lot easier than I would have thought. Your next opponent is a woman! Lenba is
her name, and I think she plans to kill you!
Taking down an opponent who is fighting case - sword and dagger - is not an easy task, but you make it look really
easy mate! Finally you are to fight the fourth and final bout - but then Everd shows up screaming that you are
wearing his armor!
After you remove your helmet, the feces implodes upon the rotary cooling device, and while Duncan protests, the
Proving Master is convinced that you need to be made to pay for your insult to the honor of his Proving! The Master,
it seems, wins out, because the next CS finds us in a cell, as prisoner and not as Champion.
Beraht's Hideout
Leske is also locked up - and he fills you in on what has happened. A visit from Jarvia fills in the rest - you are not in
the official jail, you are Beraht's prisoner, and he intends to kill you for the disgrace that you have caused for him -
and the money you lost him.
