Dex's Arena
Main story quest
Dex has taken the party and Khan to his stronghold to fight as gladiators, and the only way out is to escape.
Fight in the Arena
Khan needs time to find a way out. Talk to the Arena Meister to fight; each round is a fight with bandits and rogues. Between rounds, the doc heals you for a fee, and four trainers and two shops are in the pen. After the third round, Khan has bribed a key from one of Dex’s men. He gives it to you and goes on ahead. Then slip out when nobody is looking, through the door in the south wall of the pen.

Faya's Battering Ram
The way out runs through Dex’s room, but its door (B), at the west end of the upper hall, is bolted from the other side. Faya, a prisoner of the Engineers’ Guild in a cell in the north, can build a battering ram if you free her. Her cell key is in the barracks drawers (K) in the south-east, and taking it brings guards. She needs logs, iron, rope, and wheels from the stockroom in the south, which is locked; the guard in the north-east carries its key, so fight him for it. Bring the wheelbarrow (W) from the north-east, and load it from the pile of supplies (S) in the stockroom. Bring them to Faya, and she builds the ram. Around the stronghold are 675 gold (1), 423 gold (2), a Copper Shield (3), Assassin’s Gloves (4), and a Scimitar (5).

Save Dex
The ram breaks the bolted door on the first blow, into Dex’s room back in the arena, where The Rein has come to kill Dex for keeping you alive. Defeat their acolytes, and Dex keeps his word and lets you go. Leave the stronghold and head for Willowbrook to warn Madigan. Continue with The Hunt for Nina.
The party's journal
Khan is gathering as much information from the guards as he can. In the meantime, we have to fight for him to buy ourselves time.
Khan came through! He managed to bribe a key from a guard that will at least get us out of the gladiator pen. How we get out of the stronghold is up to us. He's already gone ahead, so we best not waste too much time.
Freedom at last! We better find Madigan in Willowbrook.
