Quest Summary:
The party were contacted by Princess Andrastiel, of Brightland, who wanted them to save her stolen love from being forced to fight and die in the arena. Her evil uncle, Duke Dukhast, had tried to have her devoured by a minotaur, but instead they fell in love with each other. So the duke had the minotaur captured and sent to Shatterlands to be killed in the Great Arena. The party intervened, infiltrating the Arena, some fighting in the arena, while others defended the minotaur from other assassins. Finally, the party battled and killed the duke in the sands of the arena, just as people were starting to file out, and escaped in the confusion, freeing many other slaves in the process. They seemed to have, more or less, escaped being properly identified, but what repurcussions might result from this international incident remains to be seen.
