Completed the Arena contract. I ultimately decided to pose as a starstruck fan, and immediately got into the Grand Champion's good graces. While escorting the arrogant fool through the Great Forest, I slashed his throat and left the corpse for the bears.
Ahh Adoring Fan, I remember him fondly. He would run off inside a cave then when everything was dead I'd go back to the entrance and there he was waiting for me. Dead of course but he always came back...good times.
